Karma and awaretheory
Karma: The Sanskirt word karman means ’actions, effect, fate ', and refers to the fundamental Hindu and sometimes Buddhist principle that one’s moral actions have unavoidable and automatic effects on one’s fortunes in this life and on the conditions for rebirth in the next life.
Awaretheory has consequences some what like karma but based on entirely different principles. Awaretheory is a scientific theory based on structural and functional materialism. Awaretheory does not need or predict any supernatural ideas like reincarnation or souls. If anything awaretheory believes that what matter can do seems magical but is not. It only seems magical. Matter is understandable and so in how matter produces consciousness. We can understand how to produce whatever consciousness that we wish if we have enough knowledge which includes technological knowledge. Our pursuit of this knowledge is part of the awaretheory's connection with karma. Also the karma relationship with awaretheory is based on the concept of multiplicity of conscious existence with the same ixperiencitness. Combining these two ideas it becomes very clear that what we do now can very much effect our lives in the future as well as our present lives. Karma bases future lives on some supposedly natural but not understandable process. Because it is not understandable it is not controllable. Awaretheory is understandable but very complex which is to be expected with any science. The more we know about any science the more complex it becomes.
Awaretheory predicts that any consciousness can be duplicated now or in the future any number of differnt times by duplicating the corresponding structure and functioning of matter that produced the consciousness in the first place. Considering the complexity of the human body it is not likely that this will happen randomly in a universe that is finite is size and the amount of time that it exists for. But awaretheory has many solutions for this seeming insurmountable problem. we can consciously control the consciousness that are produce in the future and we can effect the consciousness that exist at the present. Awaretheory predicts that any consciousness that has the same ixperiencitness is a version of each other. So you are much more than a singular soul or consciousness as predicted by most theories and religions. This means that there can be many of you, so to speek, existing at the same time and what you do to versions of you, you experience. One fairly easy way to understand this concept, because you clearly do not experience what you are doing to these other people when you are doing it, is imagine going into the futre with a time machine and seeing your future self. whatever you do to this future version of your self you do not feel it. But his future version of yourself is you so you do feel it. You are more than what you experience at this moment.
There is another concept of awaretheory that has karma like aspects. Awaretheory predicts that consciousnesses can be degraded or enhanced while still having the same ixperiencitness. These enhancements or degradations of consciousness can be randomly, accidentally, or deliberately produced. Karma can be understood as what one generation of consciousnesses or conscious beings do effects the next generation of conscious beings. Each generation of conscious beings is made up of individuals who benefit or suffer from the decisions, achievements, and blunders of previous generations. The ixperiencitness concept ties together different levels of conscious existence for you over different bodies through space and time. If each generation of people make enough of the right decisions they can eventually create more complex structures and functioning of matter that will produce the desired enhanced consciousnesses. If on the other hand too many bad decisions are produced by conscious beings then the level and desirability of the consciousnesses produced will decrease. This is a form karma applied to a group rather than just an individual. A group is made of individuals that either benefit from what they do suffer.
An example of this idea is take a religious person or group of people that are anti science. He (they) becomes so powerful that he (they) restricts the advancement of science to the point that we no longer teach science to the next generation. What is taught is only his (their) particular form of religious dogma such as the end of the world is quickly coming and that there is no reason for science or progress. The future is in gods hand what ever happens is gods will. There then is no birth control because this is another of his (their) religion's dogmas as is the complete intolerance of any other belief systems or religions. People starve. There are major continuous wars with nuclear weapons and nuclear winters until there is no science or technology and few or no people left. If there are no people left evolution has to start maybe again to produce conscious beings. If there are people left they will still evolve but maybe not in the same ways that people were evolving before. In the mean time the consciousnesses that likely will exist can be very difficult and brutish.
On the other hand society on the whole decides that the pursuit of knowledge is very important. Knowledge when it is complete enough tells us what to expect when we do or change something. With this knowledge we make good choices. We take care of the earth because there is no reason to believe that if there are gods that they want us to be anti- knowledge or that they are going to destroy the world. We learn how matter produces consciousness. We learn what are better consciousnesses and what are worse consciousnesses. We learn how to enhance consciousnesses and which enhanced consciousness should be produced. By producing desired enhanced consciousness with the same ixperiencitnesses as we presently have we have enhanced ourselves. It seem like with karma there can be many levels of enhancement of consciousness for each ixperiencitness. There is likely even the concept of the enhancement of ixperiencitness without changing the concept of the original experiencer to a different experiencer.
