1. Al-Ghazali, the great medieval philosopher had come up with this idea of how a pin is made. He said that it required 25 people to produce a pin and that these people collaborate without the presence of a person who connects them as a central factor. He said that these 25 people are not connected or known to each other and are connected and guided by an invisible hand. This metaphor was later wrongly attributed to Adam Smith.
2. Perhaps like we ascribe mass to matter so should we ascribe consciousness to matter too. Consciousness is as much a property of matter as mass is, the former defining its life form as much as the latter defines its physical aspect.
3. Further, as everything has consciousness about it, a composite form of matter must have a composite consciousness too. A man's consciousness, for example, must be a collective consciousness of all the material that he is made of. So for an animal, a plant, a compound, an element.
4. That invisible hand perhaps is the composite consciousness of all the things forming a part of a single big system. All the things collectively form a system having a collective system consciousness. which must be our super-conscious, which probably makes things possible for the system to sustain itself as its individual parts break or die and new come along.
5. A few persons together too must form a composite consciousness and if they are sitting in a room then the composite consciousness must be a sum total of individual consciousnesses of the people + that of room + that of each and everything in the room. One can say that the system must comprise the people, room and everything in that room and so we have the collective composite consciousness of the system as a whole.
6. God is perhaps that composite consciousness of all things.
7. All visible things to humans form part of a big food chain.
8. All visible things to human, therefore, need each other to survive.
9. If we survive, the composite consciousness of all things, the God, survives too. It therefore needs us to survive.
10. It is evolving.
