Consciousness

Consciousness is the result of the interaction between the Corporeal Conflux and Exterior Plane. All individual Consciousnesses are part of the larger unconscious mind of The Gardener—The Dreaming Sea. All consciousness is related, all the minds of all the living creatures in the entire universe are part of a greater symmetry.

Consciousness in our universe is the result of a suitable configuration of matter attenuating and transceiving The Dreaming Sea in The Exterior Plane; this is known as a Flippe Configuration. When a Flippe Configuration, typically a nervous system or brain, transceives a nascent consciousness from The Exterior Plane, the two become “bound” to one another. Binding is both the process which ensures the two constructs remain connected, but also what enables both to grow and adept in kind as the organism grows. The Consciousness can influence the physical matter of the Flippe Configuration and vice versa, this is partly how an organism grows and adapts, as well as part of the larger method by which The Gardener evolves between cycles.

Should an organism die, the consciousness will remain bound to the flippe configuration until it can no longer sustain it, after which it will dissipate. Occasionally, a consciousness can remain in an “unbound” form, self-sustaining. This process is not entirely understood, but it allows to some intelligent entities to exist independent of their physical bodies. This is also the method that might create a “ghost” or “spirit” which can continue to interact with the world around it after death. An unbound consciousness needs to be sustained in some way, by some flow of energy, or it will vanish, but as long as it exists it can be re-bound to a suitable host.
