BEING HUMAN!:
Although I propose that our "Consciousness/Sentience" is the presence of what we call "God“ within us, (a Soul) it is not, in any way, a scientifically established fact!
(And I’m not a scientist by any stretch of imagination either!)
Actually, the whole concept of a "SOUL" appears to be outside the purview of the scientific method anyway... since any evidence for the existence of a ‘Prime Mover’ is "Ab Extra !" (‘From without!’)
But we do present more than enough circumstantial evidence for this hypothesis to make it fall within the realm of possibility!
Allan W Janssen
***
"Being Human! (The Human Experience!)" by Allan W. Janssen is a thought-provoking collection of essays exploring the nature of consciousness and its connection to the Divine.
Mr. Janssen posits that consciousness is an emergent property that is linked to a "Divine Spark" within all life forms... suggesting that this spark may represent a form of God.
While he acknowledges that his ideas are not scientifically established... he presents good circumstantial evidence to support his hypothesis!
***
The book delves into philosophical and theological discussions, touching on various world religions and their perspectives on existence.
It also examines scientific theories, such as the Fine-Tuned Universe and the Rare Earth Hypothesis... which argue for the improbability of life arising without a “Creator!”
Mr. Janssen emphasizes the importance of understanding consciousness as a subjective experience... distinct from objective scientific inquiry!
These essays aim to present complex ideas in an accessible manner... encouraging readers to reflect on their beliefs about existence... spirituality, and the interconnectedness of life!
