Mind-Expanding
Can we trace back consciousness, reality, awareness, and free will to a
single basic structure without giving up any of them? Can the universe
exist in both real and individual ways without being composed of both?
This dialogue founds consciousness and freedom of choice on the basis of a
new reality concept that also includes the infinite as far as we
understand it. Just the simplest distinction contains consciousness. It
is not static, but a constant alternation of perspectives. From its
entirety and movement, however, there arises a freedom of choice being
more than reinterpreted necessity and unpredictability. Although
decisions ultimately involve the whole universe, they are also free in
varying degrees here and now. The unity and openness of the infinite
enables the individual to be creative while this creativity directly and
indirectly enters into all other individuals without impeding them. A
contrary impression originates only in a narrowed awareness. But even
the most conscious and free awareness can neither anticipate all
decisions nor extinguish individuality. Their creativity is secured.
"Great Read. Thank you for putting your work out into a conscious space
for all. Much appreciated."

The Reality of Free Will
The uniqueness of each standpoint, each point of effect, can only be
"overcome" by the standpoint changing to other standpoints and returning. In
such alternation, which can also appear as constant change, lies the unity
of the world. The wholeness of an alternation, however, is a structure of
consciousness due to the special relationship between the circumscribing
periphery and the infinitesimal center. This process structure brings determinacy and indeterminacy together, unifying them completely. Therefore, everywhere we are dealing with forms of consciousness that have more or less freedom of choice and an increasingly unknown depth. We live in a world of
choosing consciousness, or rather awareness. In this respect, our
environment expresses a deep truth about ourselves.
"I am impressed by the comprehensiveness of your interdisciplinary
approach. There are some major philosophical concepts which you weave
very well into a necessary system of reality: potential, the one and the
many, alternation, constant change, the reality and uniqueness of
oneiric experience and the whole, interdependence, infinity, the mandate
of opposites and many more. The combination of these ideas cannot be
attributed solely to any other of the established classical and modern
thinkers of whom I am aware. I thank you for your enlightenment."
