But even a universal consciousness doesn't explain how a future event--however inane--can be viewed. -Unless time can really go back and forth, asthe math suggests.

> But even back then, the Buddha's teaching was more radical than that. It is generally agreed that one of the experiential tenets of Buddhism is that death doesn't happen. Which sounds laughable, but they do hold that the part of us that is not our mind--our consciousness--is the same entity for all people, and that it is not tied to the body. The 'soul' if you will.-
This gets into Sheldrake's human consciousness experiments, and also my idea that our consciousness is part of the UI. The tree of life is really a bush of life, but when we get to the primate level, the human branch is more tree like than bush like, with the rather rapid six million year advance of our brain and consciousness.-I have really enjoyed your teaching us more about Eastern Theology. I have had a smattering so far on my own.
