Consciousness as energy

            I have always accepted consciousness as an energy, but passed it off as an intangible energy separate from what we can call “measurable energy”. I still believe this is true, but I have a theory and clues to where it could be hiding.

            If you imagine the entire electromagnetic spectrum, you have radio waves on the far low end of the spectrum and you have gamma rays and cosmic rays on the highest end of the spectrum. Visible light would fall right clean in the middle of the chart. So infra-red, microwaves, and radio waves exist under the red range, and ultraviolet, x-ray, gamma, and cosmic rays exist past the violet range. With reference to the chakras, the violet ray is the energy of the thousand pedaled crown chakra representing consciousness in its own pure formlessness and desirelessness.

            So it is known that cosmic rays contain a massive amount of energy. So much energy, we don’t have a way of reproducing it yet on earth. We can only observe cosmic ray energies that come from supernovas, supermassive black holes, etc.

            What if consciousness is an energy frequency so high that the massive amount of energy breaks the event horizon of light itself? In other words, thought would be the only thing capable of escaping a black hole. Because of this, consciousness exists outside the rules of space-time. This would fit in with the chakra model because the third eye is represented by light, but consciousness itself in its raw form is represented of the seventh chakra, the crown.

            The interesting area is the boundary; the quantum world. The x-ray, gamma, and cosmic ray range all interact with particles and subatomic particles. This is also where we see the interactions of observation affecting matter (the double slit experiment). It seems to hint that thoughts could be carrying energy at a high wavelength similar to subatomic particles which is why it interacts with them. Making that inference you could throw the theory out there that thoughts are actually objects in a higher dimension but we just cannot see them. It would give a lot of meaning to how karma really works. Your thoughts are literally creating equal and opposite reactions of cause and effect through the functioning of higher dimensional constructs.

            Linking the quantum world with being the boundary of matter and mind proves a lot of areas of interest. Phenomenon like quantum entanglement and superposition begin to show the boundlessness of consciousness. Perhaps when the event horizon of light is breached, consciousness reaches a state of ultimate superposition with all particles of the universe. Maybe that’s why the crown chakra is associated with unity, completion, and the worship of the “is-ness”. It is a state of connection with all of the universe and the Creator himself. Everything is perfect just as it is because it is all a reflection of this grand state of cosmic consciousness.

            In the end, we don’t know what consciousness is, but I think this is an intriguing theory to explore further. Perhaps when we have control over cosmic rays, we will unveil things even more boggling than the double slit experiment did. Until then, the only tool to reach the state of pure consciousness is consciousness itself. This is why no one can ever “show you the truth”. This is why all scriptures stress direct experience and the importance of meditation. It is only through deep meditation that you can have a direct experience of consciousness itself, for even words cannot describe what that is.
