The mind can be conscious of thoughts or experiences but it can never be conscious of consciousness because this entity can never be directly seen or known.
All forms of life which survive over several generations are intelligent, but intelligence wouldn’t exist without consciousness, yet consciousness can exist without thought, therefore, the mind tends to overvalue thoughts instead of valuing the entity that causes them. All metal properties are physical, but this mystical universal consciousness can never be actually experienced by the conceptual mind because it is of a non-physical nature.
Professor Paul Davies made a statement on an Australian ABC television programme several years ago that he thought consciousness would soon be part of physics. If this theory of a natural Universal Consciousness is correct, then it would confirm that a mystical intelligence is devoid of thought and devoid of matter and that it existed long before brains came into being.
There is an entity within all brains and objects that can only be described as being part of the creative forces of nature. It is difficult for the conceptual mind to accept that there is an intelligence out there in nature that is an identical entity within all life forms and even within all active forms of matter. This intelligence is not inferior to the consciousness within human brains, but the contents within minds are inferior to this universal entity.
Knowledge and intelligence can be compared and measured, but, there is no comparison or measure for natural intelligence. This mystical entity is universal because it is an identical entity within all matter. When it is realised that the void is full of some invisible mystical entity, then it should also be realised that there is no such thing as nothing: For that which is empty has the potential to be full, yet, the contents should never be valued, for they, like thoughts and beliefs, are merely temporary things.
