Carolyn, this is beautifully transmitted. Haven't had time to absorb Langan (or re-acquaint w/ John Wheeler), but your articulation re-points to an 'ancient' nondual wisdom. If/ when we directly experience and embody 'self,' 'other' and '(every)thing' as (S)ource, reality is no longer apart from me, us and the world; and every 'moment' then becomes meaningfully sacred. (Unfortunately, our culturally baggaged language still sets 'sacred' as some descriptor apart or separate from 'secular' and 'natural'). There's much more to be continually said, and we--including all cosmic kin--need return here. Thank you. 😉
Thank you Court. I appreciate the comment and agree with your lovely sentiments. It further highlights the primary role consciousness plays in our evolution.
This is a goldmine, Carolyn, of fascinating insights. You are articulating concepts that are leading edge for humanity and, yes, we must consider the very real possibility that we are not alone, and what the implications of that possibility could be. If there are other civilizations that are truly that advanced, then they have had to surpass many of the same challenges that we are now in the midst of. And here we now sit in the midst of such exciting times. Perhaps we will witness disclosure very soon.
Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts. Consciousness truly is where it is at and the more of us that bring this information forward, the better!
A very interesting piece! Thank you, Carolyn. Ontologically speaking -- and appealing to parsimony -- I lean more toward Faggin's Quantum Information Panpsychism (QIP), which regards consciousness as foundational, than Langan's CTMU model, which posits the co-emergence of consciousness and information. That said, the two models have a great deal of intriguing theoretical compatibility and opportunity for synthesis. May the One forgive us our syntheses.
I had to laugh at your comment about stubbing your toe. Sounds like you have guts in your toe. Or your toe has guts!
I have A Course In Consciousness by Stanley Sobottka, physics professor, University of Virginia. Unfortunately, the link to it is gone. I'll email the pdf to you.

Thanks! I'm unfamiliar with that theory and will definitely check it out!
