Great reference! Thanks.
I am aware of the notion of matter-energy-life (pysical universe)
based continuum of consciousness.
I learned from yesterdays brain-mind references of the phantoms being
influenced by other connected (consciously) with the phantom?
I learned "Transtemporal Phenomenal Consciousness, by Andrew Soltau"
very interesting.
Cosmology and consciousness connection is of course not surprising!    (01)
