There is always another consciousness in a qualiadelic relationship. For every bee there is a flower, and both a giving and a taking. And flowers love all bees and bees love all flowers, just as we ought to love all trees or all blades of grass.
Consciousness begins as qualia shared between individuals. It grows to love as it expands beyond individual landscapes to the whole niche, then to ecosystems. Knowing becomes compassion.
Now, a question: does the wood wide web have a multi-consciousness or is it one fungi? Ideally one, but the “reality” is many. Just like the mind and its neurons (or, dare I suggest, a molecule and its atoms!) So, as we contemplate the ideal, as we consciously ritual, can we become both empty (free) and full (oceanic)?
