Consciousness has long been considered one of the grandest mysteries of the universe. We know consciousness is what makes us aware of ourselves and the universe… but where does it come from? Why do we experience the universe rather than just react to it like machines? Science has struggled to answer the ‘hard problem of consciousness’ in the same way it has struggled with the inherent nature of matter. Science has discovered what matter does but not what matter is. The inherent nature of reality is a question that science and spirituality has sought to answer for ages and I believe the answer may have been found with the double slit experiment.

When quantum physicists performed the double slit experiment to measure the inherent nature of light photons, they discovered something mysterious. The photons would either exist as a particle… or a wave. Neither one or another. It’s state was not concrete. And when nobody was observing, it existed as neither particle or wave… just nothingness. So to conclude, it’s nature was either particle or wave or neither one at all. So what made it exist one way or the other? Observation.

The physicist Pascual Jordan, who worked with quantum physicist Niels Bohr, put it like this: “observations not only disturb what has to be measured, they produce it… We compel a quantum particle to assume a definite position.” In other words, Jordan said, “we ourselves produce the results of measurements.” Yes. So without observation, quantum particle would have no definite position. Quantum particles are the essential make up of the universe.. What this is entails is that consciousness is inherent to the creation of reality.

The results from this experiment and many others resulted in quantum physicists finding that the subatomic nature of reality is not deterministic as the Newtonian laws of physics once presumed. Quantum physicists talk about electrons or events as potential rather than actual physical entities. So that there are various probabilities that something exists… until someone looks and then it sort of forces the universe to make a determination about which probability is going to be actualized.

What this indicates is that all of existence is fundamentally an unlimited quantum field of energy, a sea of infinite possibilities waiting to happen. Consciousness collapses the wave function into actual particles that exist in space and time. Consciousness experiences energy as matter. Consciousness is the energy that influences energy. All energy is actually consciousness, therefore it is consciousness influencing itself. The observer is not apart from the observation.

These implications of the true nature of reality were pondered by many of the world’s great physicists upon these discoveries. But most would discount such ideas because as Albert Einstein would put it ‘the moon does not only exist when we look at it!’ There is a simple answer to this though. What if I told you that consciousness is shared in the same way all energy in the universe is shared by everyone? Energy cannot be created or destroyed and every single living thing is made up of the same energy that has always existed in the universe. If consciousness is an inherent quality in all of existence, then not only is everything conscious but we all share the same consciousness as well. Therefore, something is always looking at the moon.

Whether it is another person, it can be another animal or even star observing the moon. All of existence is conscious. And that consciousness is shared by all. If all of existence share the same consciousness, then we have a shared reality. This shared reality is the result of the complex interaction of a mass of consciousness, observing and creating a common story. This is what’s called morphic resonance. Others like jung and mystics throughout the ages call it the collective consciousness.

Everything is conscious, not all in the same complexity that humans or animals or even plants have but all things, to the tiniest units of subatomic particles are conscious in their own right. They experience the universe and therefore react to the universe. This answers a question that has boggled many scientists minds as well. What makes nature evolve?

In the infinite amount of possibilities, what makes an electron go one way rather than the other? How do animals throughout their course of evolution direct the development of new genes and characteristics to ensure their survival? How does the anything in existence form a pattern of behavior that continues to persist and become a field of organization? Consciousness. Of all the different directions to go in at any moment, the direction to keep persistently moving in the same direction is proof of consciousness existing at every level of existence. Over time this persistent pattern becomes an organizational field that determines the present and future behavior of anything. This is what is called a morphogenetic field.
