If one starts with the premise that everything is consciousness, then this Seth quote seems obvious.
Unfortunately, most of us have been brought up in an extremely dualistic framework where matter and energy are understood to be unconscious objects described by mathematical models. These assumptions lead to the problem of how consciousness arises in a materialistic paradigm. This leads to the further assumption that what we know as consciousness must arise as an epiphenomenon somehow linked to DNA, complexity, and chance..
Seth’s description makes a lot more sense to me.
“Energy is above all things infinitely creative, innovative, original. Energy is imaginative. (Any scientists who might be reading this book may as well stop here.) I am not assigning human traits to energy. Instead, your human traits are the result of energy’s characteristics – a rather important difference. Space as you think of it is, in your terms, filled with invisible particles. They are the unstated portion of physical reality, the unmanifest medium in which your world exists. In that regard, however, atoms and molecules are stated, though you cannot see them with your [unaided] eye. The smaller particles that make them up become “smaller and smaller”, finally disappearing from the examination of any kind of physical instrument, and these help bridge the gap between unmanifest and manifest reality.”
