The Theory of Unity Applied to Consciousness
A Pseudo-Scientific Theory
Introduction
To believe may be the most odious verb in the English language, for it implies the desire for something to be true: An old woman who is very attached to her children, grandchildren or other relatives might think that after death she will reunite with all of them in heaven, because that is her desire. Whereas a violent murderer may think that after death nothing happens and he will just disappear forever, because he does not want to be disturbed by some kind of punishment for his actions. Although these examples are simplistic, they may give a hint of a deeper and more complex problem. We live in a society where knowledge is dangerously overrated. Usually, the successful people are the ones who have accumulated useful, reliable knowledge that has been sanctioned by institutions that govern society. This utilitarian knowledge is necessary for the functioning of society up to a certain extent, but when we try to deeply understand the truly relevant issues that affect us the most, such as society, behavior, identity and consciousness, accepting or believing in that knowledge causes only distortions and falsehood. Everybody knows our world is corrupt, but very few people actually know how corrupt the world really is; thus, no official knowledge from this sick society will give us any true insights into the aforementioned issues. An insane or deranged man is not able to produce the necessary rational thinking to realize his own insanity; otherwise, he would not be insane. Regretfully, most people who we believe have insights or revelations into these issues just borrow knowledge from somebody else. There is the great difference between knowing and believing. If an aborigine from the Amazon who has never had any contact with the civilized world believes the Earth is round just because that is the religious belief in his culture, that is just his belief. And although he is right, he does not know that the earth is round just like an astronaut in outer space does. If that aborigine enters a culture with a different belief system, he may change his belief for adjusting the new culture. But nothing will make the astronaut change his mind, even if, hypothetically speaking, he ends up living with the aborigine in the same culture. Believing is, therefore, only an adjustment and it seems that if we cannot get...
