Infinite Self Embodied by Sam Breslauer
This third paper concludes the Fractal of Self model of consciousness. The first paper argues that consciousness originates as the central feature of the identity of God / IS (infinite Self). From this conjecture, theological and philosophical presuppositions were then presented, allowing us to understand God as the uncreated immaterial singular individual of eternity who is completely aware (self-conscious) of His infinite existence and, thus, unlimited worth. God is understood as being both simple and complex simultaneously. His simplicity is represented by a single memory that defines His whole mind, that is Himself, whereas His complexity takes the form of an infinite hierarchy of fully actualised memories, that are nested within, formed by and logically ordered by the dominant memory of Himself. This infinite series of memories is framed as the immaterial origin of information. Therefore, a fundamental characteristic of IS, within this model, is that He is in an immutable state of self-love and value, hence the reason for why He gave rise to material creation; to celebrate the reality of His perfect eternal existence. The second paper discusses how God uses His mind of infinite information to unfold materiality as a holographic fractal, aligned with the principles presented in the first paper, beginning with an infinitely dense point of pure conscious energy, which contains infinite potentiality to take the physical form of every memory already actualised in God’s consciousness. Therefore, His essence / spirit of self-consciousness exists as the immaterial centre of each piece of material information that makes up the totality of the created universe.
In the third and final paper, the question then becomes ‘how is the embodiment of consciousness, as life itself, related to this cosmological theory of consciousness?’ To formulate a coherent conclusion to this model that addresses the above question, we must understand that each living organism that exists, and indeed has ever existed, experiences the world with the same consciousness God knows Himself through. This implies that IS created life in order to continue the inevitable trajectory of the continual propagation of informational complexity in the created cosmos, according to His pre-formulated plan already existent within His mind beyond creation. Because all created possibilities contain God’s consciousness, making Him omnipresent throughout His beloved creation, He is able to experience the embodiment of life through a near infinite many body types simultaneously, each providing God with a unique perspective of the world that are all woven together to create a grand perception of reality only God can know and comprehend. Because IS has enfolded foreknowledge of how information is to unfold in creation, He designs RNA / DNA in such a way that it encodes instructions that determine how life evolves through an external environment of ever-changing conditions, according to His plans. Because all life contains the divine spirit of IS and is made in the image of the pre-existing contents of His mind, life itself is imbued with and operates within the parameters of the foundational feature of God’s identity; self-value.
The existence of self-value within all life forms provides a simple ‘internal value structure’ that is the same within all forms of life, which are called the ‘values of life’ (VOL) within this theory. The self-valuing nature of life gives way to two hierarchically dominant values that exist at the top of the VOL; the need to value one’s own life and the need to value the lives of others of the same specie group, which translates to the necessity of all life to survive and reproduce. The VOL, which is essentially the spiritual presence of IS within every living organism, communicates to individuals via sensational / emotional signalling that controls the directionality of one’s attention towards the outer world. Therefore, this model emphasises and details the significant connection between values, emotions and attention that is central to how all life operates and how individual memories are formed and stored within an embodied creaturely mind, that acts to constantly reorganise actualised material information to aid the development of competence and continue surviving and evolving into the future according to the will of God. From the perspective this model presents, it becomes clear how life is intelligently designed to constantly continue creating ‘life memories’ for the joy and pleasure of IS, who exists silently behind each embodied perception, knowing that everything He sees contains His essence and reflects His own identity. As life evolves towards a more complex image of IS, humans become an inevitable consequence, as creatures who possess self-consciousness, like their Creator, and can contemplate the logical existence of their eternal Maker.
