Someone here

Day 1 no smoking.

The beginning is right now.

As I said.. You can't say that you are in the gap while you are in gap (meaning you are not there). You can only describe deep sleep after it. And as I said the description (nothing) is not it.

Nice analogies. Which actually prove my point . There is no point or 'use' of the bulb when it's off. An off bulb =no bulb. That's just a word game at this point. lol. They are fundamentally different. As I said you only remember the gap after you woke up. You are not conscious during the gap.. And that's why you can't say that you are in the gap while you are In the gap. Only after you wake few hours later.. The world was still there but you didn't witness anything during the period of sleep. Call it 'witnessing not witnessing' makes no difference to the experience. It's a tricky one to answer. But that's only because of the tricky nature of language. Let's not try to outsmart each other's and keep it down to earth. You sleep every night.. So you obviously experience deep sleep. But it's different as I said it's a non-experience.. Rather than an experience. This should make sense to you (obviously you know sleep very well) if wasn't for the barrier of language and smart-assery.

As I said you are only aware of the gap. After you wake up you realize 8 hours have passed and your last memory is right before you went to bed. So it is like a lack of experience (gap) rather than experience. After all when you do a surgery and they need you to be In coma such that you don't feel anything. So we assume that when a person is sleeping.. He is in a state of no conscious experience.

Idk it's trippy. It seems like you are there before you went to bed.. And then there is like a gap and you come up after that. You don't experience the gap. Last thing you remember is before you you went to bed (and if there were dreams in between).

Identical. To experience something is to know it. To know what pepper taste like.. Is to experience it's taste.

From experience. From experience. From experience.!!!!

@Nahm nice channel. And good from you to teach us your wisdom and findings.

@Gesundheit experience. The five senses. Perception of the 3D world.these are Available at the waking state and absent during deep sleep.

@Gesundheit@Gesundheit You. You= Consciousness.

What about them? They appear identical to the waking world.. And it's impossible to distinguish between the two. Unless you go lucid in a Dream. Sometimes you wake up from one dream to enter another dream. None of that is conclusive btw. It's easy to say you don't know if you're awake or dreaming at any given time lol.

That might or might not be true from a third person pov (you have no way to verify that when you are sleeping). But what I mean is you lose 'experience'. There is zero experience in deep sleep. No colors or sights or sounds or any kind of phenomenal content. Interesting point about the alarm. But then again.. Sometimes you are so asleep that you don't hear the damn alarm @Gesundheit do you go to sleep at night?

It seems as if you lose consciousness during sleep and then regain it again upon waking up. A mix of both. As is everything.

It happens everyday. Bare In mind we have to start with some assumptions that should be taken on face value...if we get skeptical about everything we can't even get a conversation going lol.

The waking state IS consciousness. Or at least it's illuminated by your consciousness. The first thing that happenes in the waking state is you regaining consciousness after sleep.

Good to hear. Take care of yourself and trust the process of healing. Only getting a little bit better each day is enough.

@Dunnel @Dunnel That's dangerous man. You can't trust yourself. Call a friend or family to take care of you. Also consider visiting a therapist and taking medicine that helps with Easing depression.

@Dunnel don't do it man. You can't do it. You don't wanna die.. You just want to eliminate your suffering... What is hurting you so much? Write it down and take serious steps towards solving it..

@Gesundheit what's the point of this discussion? Debating over 'what should we call the universe'?

Too late lol.

No smoking and taking the medications.. Resting and avoiding stress..extra sleep. That's the recovery program.

Ok. Although I wasn't talking about that.. I was saying you have no idea what happens to consciousness after death of the body.. If that makes sense

I picked up the smoking habit once again. And I'm binging on it. That is playing essential role in the anxiety. It's absolutely destroying me and it's time to stop for real and save myself. I will start counting days. 30 days of no smoking starting from today Day 1

@Preety_India absolutely. Your family should take extra care of you while battling suicidal thoughts. This is serious. But also if they don't.. Don't let that let you down. Fight for your own sake. Not for anyone else.
