The ECFT Perspective: An ever pervasive energy field
Modern Theory friend’s Entropy Consciousness Field Theory (ECFT) is pretty dope. It states that consciousness isn’t some emergent thing from the brain’s neurons. It is not like “wetness” from water molecules. Instead, it is a fundamental field the brain just filters. I get the vibe, but I’ve got some issues with it.
First off all, if consciousness is a field like gravity, it’s part of Prakriti. You know, it’s part of nature, humans, animals, and all that changing stuff. But Brahm? And Brahm is beyond definition—Shankaracharya’s neti neti says you can only know it by saying what it’s not. If you can think of it, describe it, or slap an equation on it, it isn’t Brahm. That’s a risky move.
Here’s the kicker:if the mind is creating this illusion of self, then how can it know what’s real? ECFT suggests that we are caught in this illusion. It’s like a dream character trying to figure out the dreamer.If we’re stuck in Maya, our theories—yup, even ECFT—are just more Maya.
Like, we say gravity makes stuff fall, but who decided that? Newton? That’s just a human guess at Prakrit’s laws. Maybe it’s not the full truth. Prakriti doesn’t spill its secrets. We’re part of it.
How can we judge what’s real from inside the game? It’s like a fish trying to understand water. And trying to define Brahm? Total mistake. It’s anirvachaniya—unthinkable, beyond words. You can’t pin it down like a science project.
Now, free will, I say it exists, but not how people think. The ego, aham, is restless, always chasing happiness, that ultimate joy. But you only get there through adhyatma, knowing yourself through awakening.

This is Mitram — with an academic background in Mechanical Engineering and experience as an Assistant Professor. Alongside my scientific training, I explore the deeper domains of spirituality, psychology, astrology, poetry, satire, science, creativity, and abstract intelligence. My writings give special attention to health, especially mental health challenges like OCD, depression, and anxiety.
This series is meant for those who are exhausted by the world’s noise. They crave the music of silence. For those who no longer seek God in temples or texts alone—but in presence, pain, and quiet joy.
