Beginning of physical existence is still mystery. Big Bang only explains possible appearance of beginning, but doesn't explain essence of that beginning. Some people believe in theory of chaos and accident, some in theory of meaning and creation.
We consciousness and life in physical existence experience as meaning, and material lifelessness as non meaning. Main characteristic of meaning is creative continuity. Non meaning can't create or have continuity.
This existence has meaning and continuity, therefore it must have beginning in meaning or consciousness and not in non meaning or an accident.
From non meaning or unconsciousness is impossible to produce anything, particularly no meaning and consciousness. Therefore, it is necessary to have meaning and conscience in order for this existence to exist.
For existence (activity or change ) is necessary to have duality or opposites. In ABSOLUTLY THE SAME interaction, activity or change is impossible. Therefore, for meaning is necessary to have non meaning as own opposite to have interaction with it, and on that way make change or difference in self, as well in non meaning. On that way non meaning is passing but necessary element of existence or development (change) of meaning.
Physical (appearance and passive) is necessary condition for development for non physical or actively consciousness. With they interaction is possible to make constant change and necessary development of both. Main characteristic of consciousness is constant change or activity, without it consciousness can't be what it is (creative force of existence).
In existence nothing disappear but only going trough change. Existence is everything what it is or constant process of change. Therefore eternal non existence is impossible in existence because it must also have change, and then can't be non existence any more.
In this life same person going trough constant change of form (appearance) and consciousness (essence). Same person is a baby, child, young, old, or have different appearance or consciousness but always represent the same person in development.
People who experience themselves only as material body think that by disappearance or decomposing of body them essence or them consciousness also disappear. They think that before they were born they were nothing and after death they will become eternal nothing.
Questions are:
How explain something (meaning) between two nothing (non meaning)?
If matter and energy as unconsciousness form are distractible or they have continuity, how is that that consciousness as meaningful, creative activity cease to have continuity and disappear?
What enables matter and energy as unconsciousness forms to have continuity?
Death of living beings points on consciousness as living and active force in material body. When man dies his body is still in physical existence, but his consciousness or that specific meaningful activity or essence of that man is not any more. Although all organs are there without consciousness they stop to function. Until consciousness is in the body everything represent one functional whole. Without it body starts to decompose. That points on interaction of body (matter) with consciousness not of ability of body to produce it.
Good example of meaningful activity and complexity of body we can find in computer, radio, TV etc. Every one must have specific body or form and material composition in order to do specific activity. Them form, composition or structure enables electrical energy or divers impulses to go in cretin way to result as meaningful activity.
But we know that neither them body, nor impulses in them have no ability to create meaning but people ( higher active consciousness ) who create such bodies in order to enable them own consciousness to function trough them and on that way give meaning what will be useful only for people.
Essence of thinking is still not explain. Appearance of thinking seems as brain as matter thinks by matter or flux of blood, electrical impulses and different chemicals, etc. On that way we have tree possible explanation:
- Either those chemicals and impulses think by itself, and then is man thinking impulse or chemical.
- Or if chemicals and impulses (who have no ability to think ) coming in contact with brain- magic happens and brain starts to think.
- Or across those chemicals and impulses consciousness ( to us still unknown meaningful activity and quality) is able to act on brain and have interaction with body.
