In this article, we revisit our earlier speculation on consciousness, assuming it is a natural type of energy in the universe, just like heat. In an earlier article, we explored the possibility that a cellular mechanism, possibly the multidimensional connections between brain cells (neurones), might "resonate" with multidimensional strings on the Plank scale, thereby connecting the mind with the underlying structure of the universe.

Exploring consciousness, the structure of the universe, and theorising about spiritual mechanics (how we attempt to understand the underlying laws, logic, and science of spirituality) using modern theoretical mathematics can offer new parallels to ancient Neoplatonic cosmology and our current understanding of galaxies like the Milky Way.

And if such an Actuality exists, is it itself in act, or are these two concepts distinct so that this existent thing need not be itself an act?

Common Understanding of Matter Generally, everyone agrees that Matter is a base that receives Form-Ideas. But disagreements arise about what this Matter really is and how it receives forms. Some believe that only physical bodies are real and everything, including divine beings, is a form of Matter. They even claim that God is a mode of Matter, considering it as a body without quality, just a magnitude. Another group considers Matter to be incorporeal.
