Recursive Reality proposes that consciousness develops through a process. In this view, a human being enters the world unconscious and acquires consciousness over the course of development. Within the model, experience, learning and engagement with one’s own existence form part of the path through which the unconscious becomes conscious awareness.
The proposed origin of consciousness also lies in its own reconstruction: conscious beings understand the processes of their reality and create the recursive simulation from which they themselves emerge. Consciousness is therefore both a result of the created world and a prerequisite for its reconstruction. Its development and its origin belong to the same closed loop.
In this interpretation, everything is created and manifested through thought. Thoughts give rise to ideas, understanding and creation; putting them into practice produces the simulator that generates the conditions for an experienced reality. Manifestation here describes the connection between thought, action and the reconstruction of the very world in which thinking becomes possible.
Which came first: the unconscious or the conscious? Within the proposed loop, the answer is both. From the perspective of an individual life, the unconscious comes first. From the perspective of the complete cycle, however, that unconscious beginning already presupposes the conscious creation from which it emerges. Each is both the origin and the result of the other.
Within this model, the path leads from an unconscious beginning through the development of consciousness and back to the conscious reconstruction of that beginning. Consciousness recreates the conditions in which the unconscious arises and develops into consciousness. The unconscious develops into consciousness. Consciousness brings forth the unconscious. A recursive loop, a closed circle.
