What you call consciousness, I call causality (although I wouldn't say causality is "aware" of anything). What you call finite thought, I call consciousness.Beingof1 wrote:You do not know how your brain works either, right? Do you know how your body regulates the temperature in a closed mechanical/electrical/chemical system at 98.6 degrees but your consciousness is not doing that? According to your reasoning, your heart is not beating and you are not breathing unless you explicitly think about it.
This is how you - it is you - " won't, can't, or refuse to understand."
Let me think here; consciousness designed your brain, body and central nervous system of which is at the bare minimum 10,000 more times complex than a space shuttle - which you could not hope to design - but you are absolutely positive - I am the one not getting it?
Your consciousness is able to design the blueprints to construct a biological machine before it existed that allows you to think about consciousness but you know what its limitations are?
What else is your consciousness aware of that your finite thought is not aware of? Every particles velocity and position in the entire universe but if you cannot manage to get this stepping stone - you will never be able to keep up when I try explain to you that.
However complex the brain is or anything in the universe is handled with ease by causality, because causality is infinite. Your awareness of the details therein, as exhibited above, is all finite.
Both self and consciousness (regardless if they are defined to be the same or not) are finite things that arise due to causality. A thing is causally connected with everything else, so it is caused by that.You said everything that is not consciousness was the cause and now you say the "self."
You are not able to systematically control your blood pressure but you are so absolutely sure you know that this mysterious "self" designed consciousness? You do not even know how your brain and central nervous system processed the concept "self" but you claim to know what this is.
Sounds like your "self" is God - just sayin
You now have a choice - you can abandon logic and cling to your beliefs or you can accept the stunningly obvious.
Blue pill or red pill?
Yes. Separation is an illusion that is perceived by consciousness. Even the existence of consciousness is an illusion.If you agree with the rest, then using logic - you agree that reality is a unified field then? It is the absence of separation?
I disagree that I'm being fallacious here, but fine, I won't bring it up again. My point was simply that consciousness requires a host. This is undeniable.So you use another strawman (a logical fallacy) to support your original strawman? That you "know" of my experiences? And since you "know" my experience you introduce it as me using it as evidence when I have not mentioned it a single time in this discussion nor used it as evidence?
What kind of logic is that?
If I have not used this as evidence a single time in this thread (though you have used mystical insight) and that means you are having trouble with the logic and are hoping to discredit me with a strawman. I am using pure and unfiltered logic - you brought up mysticism, astral projection and so on. I do not need it because I have logic for proof but apparently you do since you brought it up.
This refers to the dualistic realm. The "things being perceived" and the "vast field that is virtually ignored" make up one such duality. Can't you see, consciousness and dualism go hand in hand, and cannot be otherwise. In the realm beyond the dualistic realm, no concepts or dualisms can exist or apply. It is in this realm that the rest of the Infinite resides.This is why you need to address the questions I ask as you are not keeping up.
I did not account for formlessness? Really?
Let me jog your memory:Being said:
It only appears that there is subject/object because of the hypnotic effect of seeing only the thing being perceived. There is a vast field that is virtually ignored and it is as timeless as cause and effect.
Example:
There is a single space between each word and letter. There is only one space and these words exist within that one space. They appear out of nowhere and we focus on the words and letters and miss the space interpenetrating all things.
When you see that, ex nihilo and duality is resolved. We experience duality because of finite thought or a mode in which we think but your nature of being is nonlocal.
