I may be repeating ancient ontologies but still there is clear cut distinction between a living will and a non-living will. And, the simple difference between the two is interacting ability with consciousness.
There are some forms of matter which are consciousness ready while some are not.
The second distinction between the two is that consciousness ready forms of matter have the capacity to evolve and reproduce on their own (animals, plants etc).
James, here you are talking about the scenario before the existence. According to me, that is the stage where consciousness and will are one, not saperated. Willingness (potential to will or affect) was hidden in the joint entity as a possibility, but not manifested yet.
Yes, one can say so.
Yes. But, at the conceptual level, it is still will.
From that very source, from where the very first will (will to exist ) comes.
I struggled with this very question for years.
In simple language, this is a very common question that atheists use to ask to theists -
Why your wise God made such a hell like this?
But, you helped me to find the answer via RM.
Will to change is the condensed or evolved form of will to exist.
First of all, there was no will in the unified entity of will and consciousness, and will was hidden there as a possibility in consciousness(PTA). It was perfect unentropy but entropy was initiated within some part of it. Means, some part of consciousness lost some of its potential (density) becasue of the release of the will to exist.
Now, that particular less dense part of the consciousness became a negative particle within the ambient and unimately broke away from the mother entity. Then, as it comes it open now, and there was nothing in its surrounding ambient, thus, it had no option but to release its all potential (willingness), till only pure consciousness remains, because it cannot be deduced further.
Thus, this all released willingness create a ocean of wills, having some pure particles of consciousness floating in it, and serves as a foundation for the further manifestaion of both living anf non-living forms. There are all types of will present in this ocean. They interact with each other and pave the way for more and more complex wills (again as per RM).
James, i am not a person of blind faith but always open to amendment and change for something better.
And, i think that i understand you concept of consciousness also.
Not possible, at least how i define consciousness.
But,i am.
I do not doubt you but believe what you are saying is true. Your computer may emulate physics.
The problem is that you are emualiting only physics in computer, not life. The formation is life very distant from that stage and if you ever come close to emulate something Life-ready complex particle, you will realize for sure that something is missing. Life is not going to be manifested from all that.
To some extent, yes.
Yes, but in the next post.
