UFOs & ET Contact (Part 8)

...would seem to require some degree of 'self'-awareness.

There's ample evidence that elephants have something akin to a spiritual life. They seem to be aware of their mortality.

This may seem somewhat simplistic but I believe that all creatures are only as 'self'-conscious as they need to be to fulfill their function in their particular, evolutionary niche.

I also believe that 'self'-consciousness is an inherent quality of matter itself...beginning at a subatomic level.

Any thoughts?

I truly enjoy his talks but I must say that I think it's rather risky to get into trying to define exactly what 'self'-consciousness either is or is not about.

Having been raised on farms/ranches, etc., and having had all variety of pets I have to say that I believe there's is no clear cut delineation in-so-far-as being either 'self'-conscious, or simply being conscious is concerned.

I've seen dogs experience embarrassment, shyness, deep affection and concern. Any one of these emotions...

his stoiry sounds lke mine as a very young child i knew we wernt alone,,i just didnt think they took you..

Well, What a disappointment,,,

Thank you for this, it was very enlightening. Thanks for sharing

This is the first person who has reflected the thoughts and some of the conclusions I have come to as well since they first revealed themselves to me 6 months ago. Fear is #1. They sense you, they sense your thoughts once you enter their consciousness, they are aware of the distance to keep.

One word; Excellent.
