When reflecting on consciousness and the process within which we exist, one question inevitably arises: where did it all begin?

​

In the beginning, there was darkness—everywhere and in everything. An infinite depth. Darkness is not negative. It is the source, the place where everything is born. The womb of emptiness. Without it, nothing could emerge. It is not something to escape. It is the foundation, the primordial substance of all things.

​

For anything to unfold, there must be space—emptiness. If everything is already filled, there is no room for emergence. From this infinite darkness comes a surge of creation—a powerful expansion of light and color, an explosion of consciousness. Compressed worlds, layers, densities. Infinite variation of forms, structures, and chaos.

​

The Big Bang can be understood as the moment when thought awakened. A thought appeared—and from a single point, countless universes began to unfold. Not a human thought, but the thought of existence, of the Absolute. It continues now, expanding without end.

​

Consciousness moves toward darkness—toward what is hidden—to illuminate it and discover what lies within. It requires the unknown. It is drawn to what has not yet been revealed in order to explore through form. In this sense, consciousness is light entering its own depth.

From this movement arise universes and the cosmos. Awareness comes later, after the necessary conditions take shape. Life follows. Thought unfolds into living systems—water, microorganisms, plants, animals, humans. Everything that exists is part of that unfolding. Each part influences the others, creating diversity. A vast field of life with a single root. Nothing exists in isolation. To affect one part is to affect the whole.

​

Consciousness is a stage within this process—a point from which perception expands. The same impulse that initiated everything now observes through the person reading these lines. A human being becomes a way through which existence becomes aware.

Observation may not be passive. It may be one of the ways reality takes form.

This process is ongoing. We are inside it.

​

From this perspective, everything perceives—through every possible angle—and in that way participates in what is happening. This is why the image of the eye appears again and again across cultures, and why the idea of an all-seeing presence takes on a different meaning.

Knowing this, can a stone or a piece of driftwood still be considered inert?

Everything participates in knowing by being part of the same process.

And no single perspective contains the whole.

​

If consciousness has become many, a question remains.

Why did the one become the many?

That question leads further.
