But... but...  @Mellowmarsh consciousness is not a thing 🤪

All the spirituality of the New Age is based on the premise that its audience is...how to explain it? Naive? So, some designs with vibrant colors, phrases like: "I awoke to the fact that reality is pure loving consciousness, brother. Namaste, brother." And a hug of at least 15 or 20 seconds. This is very convincing for certain people; nothing else is needed, like understanding what consciousness is.

They'll tell you: "Abandon the mind, beloved brother, let it go." Oh, by the way, I need some money.

Anyway, once this whole funny ritual is over, and we have our linen clothes and Sanskrit tattoos, and we know that the mind is bad and lobotomy is good, we could do just as an exercise, to pass the time between namastes: what is consciousness?

The only absolute truth is that you are conscious.
 

As far as I know, I’m fairly certain dead people can’t ponder what is consciousness.

Everything else is just their linguistics. Thanks for your fairytale.
