Consciousness is not an epiphenomenon of brains. Brains occur in Consciousness (as does everything else). There is no perceiver either, just perceptions. Consciousness is all that exists. You exist as pure consciousness. You are IT. Science will NEVER grasp consciousness because it has everything ba...

RC: Non dualists such as the Aztecs understood Consciousness as the only thing in existence. We've actually understood Consciousness and what it is and what it is NOT for over 5000 years....and NO, consciousness is not an epiphenomenon of brains. Brains and neuroscience occur IN Consciousness.

We don't know enough about the Universe yet to be able to confidently say there are no other Not Things. We don’t know anything about the “we” that claims to be the knower, there is only knowledge aka conceptual things known by the unknown knower. . By We I meant Science. And correct, Science does ...

There are no physical entities. There is only Conciousness.

Neuroscience will NEVER solve the hard problem. Ever. Why? Because neuroscientists for the most part think that consciousness is produced by brains and that mind is a function of brain. They have it bass ackwards. Consciousness is first order. In other words brains and neuroscience occur in Consciou...

Consciousness is the only No Thing in existence.

Physical systems and a physical universe don't exist as there is NOTHING to ground the physical. What your stating is a form of Naive Realism. Sloppy metaphysics at best!

Mind being a function of the brain is pure concept and nothing else. Science has never proven mind as a function of brain..

Any concept of humans having free will is delusional at best.

Death and Life are the same reality, they just differ in appearance, one is seen/known the other is unseen/known. Awareness is a two way mirror reflecting itself alone. ( “Thou cannot see My face, for there shall no man see Me and live.”Exodus 33:20 ) . Are these two independent statements or is th...

The Awareness in you is the same Awareness in me. No explanation can ever suffice. There is no logical foundation for your claim. Infinity only happens once which means Infinity never happens. That can't possibly be true. Why are you assuming that the Awareness is logical? That's a mere projection

The Awareness in you is the same Awareness in me. No explanation can ever suffice. There is no logical foundation for your claim. Infinity only happens once which means Infinity never happens. Assuming that this Awareness is logical or rational is an epistemological mistake. The universe is not rat...

And yet utterances appear when there is no requirement for them to appear. According to the laws of physics, only what must appear, appears. Must is required for the appearance of AM to I that results in IS. I'm not really sure what you mean by that. To be Aware of 'thought'....Awareness must alrea...

First of all, do you actually believe that Consciousness... (something that has probably been in existence literally FOREVER – trillions and trillions of years prior to the creation of our particular universe) ...still hasn’t yet been able to figure out (discover) what it really is? Secondly, how d...

I know this is a basic question! But why our we here, most people go through there lives not questioning the reason why? People like us have ideas, views an urge to understand what this is all about? Do you think we are ever going to find the answer? We are here as God (Consciousness) experiencing ...
