As part of Universal Consciousness, can you really change the world?
If you have ever struggled to understand how individual agency relates to universal consciousness, this session offers an unusually clear and lively way into the question.
As a follow up to last week's session on objective vs subjective idealism, Bernardo explores whether God (or universal consciousness) can meaningfully be said to have a point of view.
We clarify the distinction between universal consciousness and Mind at Large, ask how perception and agency work through the “dashboard”, and consider whether living beings might serve as “spies for God”, allowing nature to see itself from a new perspective.
The conversation concludes by reflecting on seeing without eyes and the limits of Analytic Idealism.
Topics discussed include:
- Berkeley’s God vs universal consciousness and mind at large
- Whether God can have a point of view
- The dashboard metaphor, perception and human agency
- Seeing without eyes, co-creation and the limits of Analytic Idealism
Until next week!
