Expanded consciousness

The drive toward expanded consciousness is a real impulse in humans, not to be discounted. This drive gets all people out of bed in the morning, and up long enough to eat dinner and hit the rack. The ONLY difference between the so-called "them" and the so-called "us", is the difference in conscious awareness of what's happening in realtime.

Everybody alive can produce suitable descriptions of "what happened". No one without full consciousness can produce suitable descriptions of "what is happening".

Therein lies the division between "them" and "us".

To define one's personal spacetime as either "them" or "us", is to collapse the wave-form. And as Schrödinger knew, you don't want to do that. A collapsed wave-form must leave a dead cat, because that was one of the possibilities... but so was a live cat!!
