Nataraja– Panpsychism and the Spirituality of Art and Science.

      Аннотация: Consciousness is a fundamental part of matter. The substrate of everything is of mental character. Mind is the first and most direct thing in our experience and all else is remote experience. The fact that all matter is conscious solves the hard problems of consciousness. Consciousness cannot arise out of unconsciousness. Art results from suppression of the neocortex and dominance of the cerebellum producing a cerebellar cognitive affective disorder with impulsivity, creativity, intuition and abstraction. This produces a sense of transcendence and communication with the protoconsciousness field. Art and science in a sense can be considered as a spiritual mystical experience where our consciousness merges with the protoconsciousness field leading to artistic and scientific creation. This is exemplified by the dancing Nataraja which is a manifestation of the protoconsciousness field which permeates the universe.
