意识之域。迈向共享的宇宙意识

Series Libro 956 - ZHO - PensareDiverso
长期以来，我们一直认为意识是一种私人体验，存在于每个人的头脑中。它像一个封闭的房间，像一盏只照亮我们内心世界的个人小灯。但如今，情况正在发生变化。关于集体行为的科学研究、社会神经科学的发现、当代分布式思维理论，甚至某些源于冥想传统的洞见，似乎都在讲述一个不同的故事：也许意识不仅属于“我”或“你”。也许它并非始于并止于我们身体的边界。或许，存在着一个更广阔的空间将我们包裹其中，一个共享的疆域里，我们的思想、情感与感知并非彼此割裂，而是深度交织。这个空间惊人地类似于一种弥漫的场域——如同电磁场或引力场般环绕并穿透我们。我们看不见它，正如看不见重力，却能感知其效应。我们无法触摸它，正如无法触摸无线电波，却始终浸润于其影响之中。种种迹象表明，意识场确实存在：一个微妙而广阔的场域，不属于任何人，却支撑着所有人。当两人建立联系时，不仅是两个心灵的相遇，更是这个场域的局部激活。某种东西被点燃 ...
