consciousness and compassion go hand in hand imo. consciousness is the ability to imagine/anticipate states beyond the present, and i consider sy/empathy a symptom of this.

like waves, i believe consciousness itself to be an innate, primal attribute of all things in existence. human consciousness, though, is the result of various unifying mechanisms (the laws of nature) evolving primitive structural units which permit the emergence of more complex structures and units, always yielding a higher level of unity. i believe our destiny is the melding of individual consciousnesses into a unified consciousness unit in the same way our individual cell units unify to create ourselves. it's like a marriage of consciousness with consciousness that gives birth to new revelations of our reality's potential.

many channels talk about the blending of civilizations approaching the oneness of all-that-is. with the dots connecting as they have locally, it only makes sense that this unification template continues issuing outward to envelope the cosmos in the ineffable mystery of existence; wonders begetting wonders upon the fractal structure of even its most trivial components.

carl sagan really said it best: "we are a way for the cosmos to know itself"
