Discussion Post for The Great Work Community

[jsageman]

Before examining the evidence, where do you personally stand on ‘consciousness creates reality’? What is your current best model for the relationship between consciousness and physical reality?

This is not a performance. It is a baseline. A record of where you are at the beginning of the course, before the evidence has had time to work on you. Write honestly. A thoughtful materialist skeptic who is genuinely uncertain is in a better position to learn from this course than someone who has already decided it is all true.

If possible, engage with at least two classmates’ posts before the end of the module week.

To create a space for further discussions with fellow students and the instructor, please reply to this post with your answers.

James' answers:
While I am the creator of this course and numerous other courses and books on on the various topics associated with consciousness research, given what has been presented thus far in this Reality Architecture course, I would say that there is definitely some compelling evidence to support the concept that 'consciousness creates reality.'

For me personally, at this point, I would be leaning towards consciousness playing a large role in creating physical reality, but I would want more evidence before fully supporting that position.
