Paxism and an unnamed philosophy which I'll refer to as "Appreciationism" as of now...
Paxism says that everything is consciousness. Space / Aether is the conscious, eternal, infinite, omnipresent, and omnipotent container which all things exists in and are a part of. Space is not "nothingness", it is actually "something". It is the thing that exists through all things, and it is all accepting and all neutral (peaceful), however, "matter", the things with in it can become positively or negatively charged, and even change from one to another, but the neutrality (peace) is dominant since this is the state of Space / Aether.
Appreciationism says that everything is consciousness, and this consciousness is aware of itself and appreciates itself deeply. It is all existence and it is even you and I, and when we live our lives in appreciation, we see through the perspective of the consciousness of the whole or God if that is what you want to call it.
Not sure which one seems more true yet, if any. I would love feed back on which seems more true and why or why not...

hello,
i can tell you with 100% certainty that space is nothingness. disconnect yourself from source (consciousness) there is nothingness. where you are right now physically speaking there is nothing but a void... the only reason we experience space (and time) as we do is our connection to/ projection of source/consciousness.
the reason i can tell you that this is true is that i have experienced this. i have been going through the ascension process and as part of my journey have been disconnected from source for nearly five years now. i have been living in a void. no matter where i go or what i try to do there is NOTHING because i am not currently connected to source. i have not been able to connect to the physical world/ participate in the creating process that is life. my inability to connect to space or experience space is just one piece of this.

To me, Paxism sounds a bit more legit and descriptive. In Roman times it was all society at peace. No wars. Pax is the Latin word for Peace. Appreciationism is a bit too high level and vague... no real target. My intuition tells me to go with Paxism as the truth.
if its worth 2 cents I guess.
Also, Paxism is a choice by leaders to not go to war.edit on 6-3-2012 by TommyG because: added last lineedit on 6-3-2012 by TommyG because: typo

Paxism - relax, calm down, and allow yourself to go back to inner peace which is your true nature THEN from intuition you'll make a decision...
Appreciationism - Learn to live in appreciating by seeing all things through appreciation. All things that exists is connected and this entire connection - this entire whole, forms a great consciousness of it's own which our consciousness is a part of. This consciousness appreciates itself, therefore it appreciates nature, animals, humans, etc. and we can link with this higher consciousness by living in appreciation.

Neither is possible. Consciousness is not primordial at all. It is an epitome progressive development achievement. Consciousness is sentience. I have no idea why so many people do not understand this.

The "appreciationism" that you speak of sounds a little like it stems from the unified field theory or super super-string theory that Dr. John Hagelin speaks of. IMO. I may be in WAY over my head here but im interested none-the-less.
pls. don`t scorn me if I am,...just an wondering.
