Consciousness

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

[Breakingthewall]

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. 

[Mellowmarsh]

This reality and world we live in is intwined with and saturated in or made of consciousness and the object or world is an appearance of that consciousness = Non Duality 

There’s no such thing as nonduality because nonduality is not a thing. A thing appears in no thing. Only things are seen, not the seer. To see the seer, is to die to thingness.  Not literal death as even death is an illusion, because unseen, doesn’t mean it’s not there/ here.

It’s here. This is it.

Nothingness seems like a cop-out to me on some level.

What “some level” are you referring to, exactly?

For me, nothingness is an amazing gift.

Within is a curious word.  Both "with" and "in", "within" is a mating correspondence like petals blossoming from a bud or hand in glove.

Because of this, to me, "The source is within" expresses a specific sort of correspondence between the outer manifestation and its inner seed or root.  The macro outer shell corresponds with the micro inner source like a hand in a glove.  One can see this motif reflected in the art chosen for the message.  The smaller inner bright star and constellation, the source within the individual, corresponds and is connected to the larger bright star and constellation beyond.

Are you talking about nothingness or emptiness?

I don’t know what I’m talking about, maybe space is a better word. Yeah, SPACE

Nice! 😊 

 

I mean, Where is inside or outside, within or without, except in this conception, relative to the observer?
Meanwhile, relative ideas pertaining to the absolute, are absurd.

Consciousness is all that exists. When we die, our local fragment of that eternal conscious field gets re-absorbed back into the whole.

Yeah. Theres alwt of these cool connector words like *within. How does one describe within?

Like its a fascinating place that *within points to, similar in some sense to the notions of, *without, and *ways away out (or pointing *outwardly) that is, we are in a knotted, stranged, mentaled thing'ed..

That of which we dont quite understand—try as we might, and our best-least attempt so far is like, the one we are propagating forward, as it is always seemingly evolving within the words weve put forth

Iuno its just like (well, now especially so), weve entered a place where its like, Hey. ενerything is a poem. Like we are in a position, more than ever, to just... let the poem run forever, fk it yolo. Like...

Let the script just Ꝛυᚾn, Rrun, run til it turns all sorts of colors.
