Conscious generation

Conscious generation is a concept tied to awarepaths and physipaths. When we apply it to the human experience it is a life time of a person. Consciousnesses however, do not have to be tied to the the experience of having a human body that dies. When we talk about a human generation it is connected to the creation of the next generation of people. If people lived indefinitely there would be no need to produce the next generation but because people die, we have to create a new generation of people that we do with babies developing into adult people that again have babies or the next generation. A generation can be any length. For people, a generation is called about 20 years or so, even though people live to be 100 or more. If people lived longer and reproduced later in life a generation could be defined as a longer period of time.

When we think about consciousness that is not connected to any particular type of conscious body (physipath) but to consciousness itself (awarepath) we loose the connector that we had in the concept of he human body. A body ties a consciousness together with a concept. Awaretheory has another concept that ties consciousnesses together and that is the ixperiencitness concept. Many different types of bodies including many different human bodies can produce the same ixperiencitness.

If is often believed that the human body has the same ixperiencitness over its life time. However, It probably does not because it is not consciousness when it is first created as a fertilized egg until it has a nervous system that is complex to be aware of itself. At the end of life if there is a great enough degradation of consciousness do to injury, stroke coma disease etc. However, the concept that you experience most of the experiences that are created by your body over its life time is what ties you to your body and its life. Awaretheory says that other bodies can produce the same relationship to you as what you think only your current body does.

The concept of a conscious generation is tied to bodies (physipaths) that produce consciousness being replaced, after they no longer produce consciousness, with bodies that again produce consciousness (awarepaths). We understand this process with people. We can also understand this process with other types of conscious bodies as well. We as human spend a great deal of our time and conscious experience producing the next generation of conscious humans. Every generation of conscious beings no matter how long the generation is will have to deal with the reproduction of the next generation of conscious beings. If they get so involved in their own experience that they do not prepare for the next generation then there will be an end to consciousness or a degradation of consciousness. Awaretheory gives good reasons to carefully care for future generations of conscious beings over and above our own built in sense of compassion and empathy for animals, babies, children, and other people. Future generations of people and other conscious being can have the same ixperiencitness that your body produces. What this means is that you will experience what many of the these future existing beings experience. "You" are much more than what you experience at this moment in your life, and more than all the experiences that that you will have experienced in all of your life.
