The Evolution of Consciousness to Matter[ ]


Modern day science claims that all things manifest is made of matter and can be reduced to the elementary particles of matter. However, where do those elementary particles of matter originate? According to theoretical physicist Professor Amit Goswami Ph.D., consciousness is the ground of all being simply meaning that all things begin with consciousness. This perspective suggests that consciousness follows a downward causation organizational pattern rather than the current upward theory that everything begins with matter. This paper will offer a more advanced, detailed perspective of how consciousness is the primary administering organization of physical, atomic matter as known in quantum quantum morphogenetic field physics and mechanics.
