greetings to you thinkers, bravo.
as co creator of a recent film about amit goswami and his particular brand of monistic idealism I can assure you that when one uses the word god it is for provocative purposes as well as to refer to a concept that we have no other functional word for. In the case of Amit Goswami and his monistic idealism positing that it is consciousness not matter that is the ground of all being he is making a scientific statement based in both mathematical and lab science. The essential problem of the quantum measurement (i.e. if consciousness is an epiphenomenon of matter but consciousness also collapses the wave into a particle how can consciousness as a brain phenomenon itself a part of matter do this?) this question is profound and in need of resolution. TO posit consciousness as the ground of being and no t matter opens the possibility of solving many of our most tenacious problems in science, the real problem that arrises is the dogmatism from both the materialist science community (including darwinism, that most favored 150 year old child “as if we havn’t learned more since then”) as well as its implied association with the non inquisitive religious dogmatists. Dawkins makes a fool of himself by playing Don Quixote against a straw God that few defend, to take on the questions of the observer consciousness, form and non form are age old questions that the sooner we can answer within science the better all of humanity will be. I am of course biased since I spend several years creating a film on Dr Goswami, but we did so because we felt his message should be added to the mix of scientific scrutiny not to be held high for no reason and not to be discounted by emotionality in the guise of science. I hope we have succeeded.
peace.
