Why is consciousness not an illusion

106 posts in this topic

@Someone here yes exactly. Its just reality happening. 

But what i don't understand its the "you" part. The self is completely illusory. I equate consciousness with the you, or the self, because to me the you its not only the story that you tell yourself about you (beliefs, emotions, thoughts,memories etc) but to me is the experience of being the center of all happenings. It is an experience. Experience that knows he is here and now, prior to any story, thoughts or emotions. 

@VeganAwake am i getting it?

No that's false. The you is just a thought story. It's not an experience

. " You are having an experience of reality" =thought. Just thinking process. Take away that thinking for a moment..... 

Just reality. Just experience.

Great! 

Look you are using the finite pathetic human mind to grasp the infinitely mind blowing miracle that is reality... At some point you gotta wise up and realize this can't work.   Don't make any conclusions that you haven't grasped directly.  Connect with the present moment via senses and let go of the need to know. There is nothing to know anyways. At least not for the mind.   Take care friend.

Pointless rambling.

Go do some actual consciousness work.


You are God. You are Truth. You are Love. You are Infinity.
