Multiplicity of your conscious existence

Multiplicity of your conscious existence is a direct consequence of basing consciousness on the structure and functioning of matter with no supernatural concepts involved or needed. It turns out that the present "you" is part of a greater potential and actual "you". This fact allows for many very interesting and positive consequences including life after death, immortality, the tying together of different people of different cultures, religions, even of different conscious species. The different parts of the greater you will influence what potential versions of you become actual versions of you. If you do not understand the science behind awaretheory it sounds like some mystical mumbo jumbo. Most modern science would seem like magic to our historical and pre-historical ancestors. Science never fails to amaze us. We think that we know it all and then we find out that we hardly understand anything.

It is not easy to see the multiplicity of our conscious existence because we see ourselves as our current experiencing consciousness; we are directly conscious only of what we are now. Consciousness can be created by duplicating the structure and functioning of matter that produced that consciousness in the first place. By duplicating the structure and functioning of your body at any point in your life, now, produces that consciousness now along with the consciousness that you are presently experiencing. Science and technology is based on the fact that if you want to duplicate any material object, property, happening or consequence you have to duplicate it closely enough. Consciousness is one of these things that the functioning of matter produces. Consequently, if the structure and functioning of matter is duplicated closely enough the consciousness will be duplicated as well. It is strange that such a simple statement as this is not accepted when we believe it applies to every other material thing. If you want the consequence of a product to be the same then you duplicate the product. If you want a television with certain properties and you know that a certain process makes the object with these properties, you duplicate that process. If you want to duplicate an awarepath you duplicate the physapath that will or did produce that awarepath.

Consciousness is a property of the functioning of matter. If you want to duplicate that consciousness you duplicate the functioning of matter that produces that consciousness. But there is more to it than that. There are many ways to make a television, some better and some worse. With todays standards the first televisions are awful. But when they were first produced they were amazing. Consciousnesses are the same there are worse and there are better consciousness for many different reasons. The different versions of televisions are or can be tied together by many different reasons. One is that they are all called televisions. But over time they become larger and more colorful, with better sound. Then they are made to record and play shows and be integrated with computers, multiple screens, and the internet. The same can be applied to consciousnesses. They can be enhanced and they can be tied together in many different ways. Probably the most important way is the ixperiencitness concept it ties consciousnesses together by who experiences them. With the use of this concept, the concepts of life after death and immortality have useful scientific meanings that can be applied to technology. This allows for an understanding of the concept of the multiplicity of your conscious existence.
