If you seek community, then know this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Consciousness is fundamentally the sense of belonging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even matter has consciousness: consider a melting snowflake, at the last moment, an individual molecule of water grasps before letting go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Qualia binds us all in community just like that water molecule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And Qualiadelic Relationships are the source of all this belonging, of all consciousness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ll explain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Qualiadelic relationships<\/a> reach back to the beginning of life on Earth (if not all the way back to the beginning of the universe).<\/p>\n\n\n\n When our senses perceive a tree we are connected with all the creatures that evolved<\/em> together to make it appear<\/a><\/em> as a tree. This has major implications for \u201creality\u201d as we \u201cknow\u201dit. We don\u2019t generally think of reality this way, but nothing actually exists independently of anything else. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A simple analogy is a mere, human work: a fence. A fence wouldn\u2019t exist without a tree, someone to cut it down, someone to turn it into boards, sell it, and build it, and so on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So all things, living and dead, are interconnected and interdependent – nothing exists alone because everything has evolved together, via qualiadelic relationships, in ecosystems. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n So, if you seek community<\/a>, then know: you will find your community, first, foremost, and most deeply, in ecosystems. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you seek community, then know this: Consciousness is fundamentally the sense of belonging.
