Isn’t consciousness simply “mind” and it’s content? What do u guys think?

If we were to go about this rationally, logically, we would need to remain with facts. What is actually happening within the realm of conciousness? Not any speculation, theory’s, presuppositions and so on. I mean all one would have to do is be observant of all whole psychological movment of man. Psychological characteristics, idiosyncrasies, conclusions, beliefs,and all of the other constituents of thought/mind/ the self This is why it’s seems reasonable to say that the content of the mind thought/knowledge/memory/experience/the Me and U is the conscious of man. When a question like this arises it’s interesting to observe how we take a fact “what is” and make it into an abstraction. Any way this a practical, simple, way to look at the consciousness of man/woman. What do u guys think?

It’s seems reasonable to say that psychedelics are a temporary fix. It’s also an experience that u will probably propetualy chase. Also its safe to say that the experience “memory of that experience” will be what you approach each present moment with. So u will be approaching the present in terms of the past “the memory/knowledge of that experience” . This is classic meeting the present according to the past or “ approaching the dynamic, active, “the now” with that which is “static” the past. If we approach the new “the now” with that of the old “past” then we really aren’t living now. We are living according to past knowledge and remain a slave to thought. Anyway im not saying u shouldn’t or should just something to keep in mind. If u want to go about it with chemical changes to the body and so on so be it. But it’s reasonable to assume that it takes more than tripping balls to learn the art of inquiry. Remeber care must be taken to avoid various deceptions and so on. If imagination is going crazy I don’t see how this could be possible. Then again I’m not sure what psychedelics actually make u feel like. I do this without the dependency of any outside agency. For me this is an art. The art of living. Good luck ??

Use all these forms of suffering to your advantage. And this hierarchy of need jive I’m sorry to say will be a limited way to resolve these rather common issues your have. We cant solve our problems according to someone else’s ideas, theory’s, and other forms of analytical investigations. These false premises are contradicting and confusing when applied as a method of the eradification of suffering. Knowledge has no place in psychological order. The anylizer is the anylized ...Inquire into what this implies good luck friend

Is the quality of knowledge within the field of Truth or Reality?

Ego is a reality in it’s process meaning the movment or idea of the false self is a process taking place whether it’s true or not. It’s a movment within thought.

@maynor Lol Yes I know ego is a self image, story, self made concept created by thought. Do u ever listen to anything I write lol. Ego the me is a thought fragment formed by the dualistic nature of thought. Please don’t try and play guru with me By the way self inquiry is not work it’s a way of life. I don’t remember where I heard this but it seems like a good time to say it The goody-goddies are the thieves of virtue

Hell isnt the ego .. hell is not knowing the ego is a reality in process. Ego is a tool.. when it becomes our master we suffer the consequences “hell” Ego is like a chainsaw, very useful but when used carelessly very destructive Its like saying knowledge is hell. Knowledge has its place but when we are slaves to it then Hell awaits us

Fact is what is so of itself. What is actual. Anything beyond that is a fact becoming distorted into an abstraction. So I hope your not going to get all speculative on me lol

Your talking to one who holds absolutely no beliefs whatsoever ... belief implies fear

The word is never the thing that’s a fact

We are using mind as thought/knowledge/time/ego the U and Me

Yes mind is a concept lol But remember the word is never the thing in which it is pointing to

Maybe U forgot knowledge? Consciousness is always of the past, never of the present. You are conscious only of things that are over. You see the interval? That is our state of consciousness, which is conditioned by the past and our thought. This conditioned response challenges a fact and the more you respond according to the conditioning of belief, of the past, the more there is strengthening of the past. Watch and you will see that consciousness is functioning between the past and the future and that the present is only a passage of the past to the future. Anyway awareness is generally influiced by conditioning or knowledge. Of course when there is a capacity of tremendous attention to the content of our conciousess “insight” we are not slaves to that knowledge. Knowledge and perception can coincide without knowledge interfering with that direct observation and so on.

Can the observer ever see truth in the deepest sense. Truth is the limitless. That which is beyond the limited mecahanical fragmentation of thought and consciousness. Truth implies the whole before fragmentation “thought” distorts a fact or actuality and projects a reality “processed projection” . How can what is limited by fragmentation see the whole? This is a good one to ask oneself

Hmm...frequency measure seems rather interesting....So as far as everyday life as we actually perceive it is our conciousness a manifestation of only our experiences or does knowledge/thought “conditioning” also a part of this content? I mean we are a product of such content are we not? ....It seems reasonable that consciousness is the mind and it’s content. Anyone else?

Progress implies a destination. A movement forward or onward in space or time. A common movment of thought which implies time as in becoming. In this case becoming what u have constructed as an achievement, accomplishment, or what has been self projected by thought to be attained. If u feel u are like a dog chasing your tail maybe u are. This revolving door feeling is an indicator that there has been a false sense of awarness in action. If there was a sense of emptiness there would be no revolving door in which u were trying enter or exit. U would be outside the realm of thought at that point. U seem to be very passionate about learning the movment of thought/time/knowledge which is the structure and nature of the self “ego”.. just keep at it. Don’t get frustrated. This is your journey. Enjoy it. It’s the most important, interesting thing we can learn about. There seems to be an unidentified movment takkng place. Thought seems to be deceiving itself at some point in the process. Just keep watching the thoughts. Don’t let the “U” distort what is actual in its process. This is very common to all my friend. Good luck

Outward expression of minimalism tends to be superficial in the sense that it’s only scratching on the surface. But isn’t to be minimal in its deepest sense imply ones psychological state to be as minimal as possible? To be simple outwardly is an attempt to alleviate, the effects of accumulation of things which we become attached to inwardly which causes conflict and suffering and so on...If we are simple inwardly wouldn’t this desire to outwardly become minimal which is fueled by anxiety and it’s effects on the mind cease? Just like outward accumulation effecting the inward state of being, isn’t all inward accumulation going to further effect inward states of being as well as the outward states? Sorry about the communication run on lol.. What I’m trying to say is...If we are inwardly simple wouldn’t outward minimalism be an expression of that inward state of being?

Respectfully, Do we need to watch a video on what consciousness is to see its nature? Personally I don’t fill my head with such ideas. We have all the reference we need. We are our own book to learn. Now what is consciousness when u observe your own? Without someone else’s idea of what it is.

What is kundalini? How does it work? This is a good way to approach whether we want to engage in such an activity. Good luck

Isn’t meditation an all day affair? To inquire scrupulously from moment to moment.To have a religious mind. A quiet mind.

Anxiety is the gap between the NOW and the THEN. So if you are in the NOW, you can't be anxious, because your excitement flows immediately into ongoing spontaneous activity. Bruce Lee

lol give it a try If the thinker is thought how do u personaly stop thinking?

Du u mean appearence as in a feature or action/process ?

I’m speaking of the appearence in the sense of an image or impression
