Fabric Woven

Is consciousness woven into the very fabric of the universe?

Yes, consciousness is woven into the very fabric of the entire Cosmos (the present Cosmos contains many universes). Our soul atman present within every living being is the cosmic consciousness that governs the whole system. It is this consciousness... our soul atman present within our heart that has manifested this body and not vice versa.

It is this consciousness which demands release from the cycle of manifestations. To remove the dross within... this cosmic consciousness... our soul atman within manifests a series of life forms one after another until the last... the 8.4 millionth manifestation! Only then this supreme consciousness gets released from the cycle of manifesting life forms one after another.

The whole essence of the Cosmos is based on the premise that to remove the dross within... this cosmic consciousness has to work out its karma through a chain of bodies it manifests. On its own this cosmic consciousness cannot remove the impurities within. It is like the pieces of metal sandwiched in a big lump of ore. As this metal requires the requisite mining machinery for processing... the cosmic consciousness requires manifesting bodies after another.

The Cosmos exists because cosmic consciousness exists. All living beings including human beings exist because cosmic consciousness exists. The sole purpose of every life is the consciousness within trying to regain its pure pristine original form. The moment this consciousness comes to its original pure pristine form... it goes back to the kingdom of God (aka Baikuntha in Hinduism).
