Do you dispute my preconditions of philosophy? Clearly you do, and that is why this conversation can go nowhere, DAM. I'm not trying to be rude, but those conditions are basic premises.

Play with thoughts all you like, that's what it boils down to; there is thought, and there are things independent of observing thought.
Thought does not observe.

So What observes thought?

I know of no precondition.

Tell me what this precondition is?

I just did, above. Read what I say, instead of having me repeat it.

A precondition is a premise to be built on methodically. Do you not have any, if you can't except my basic ones? Then you have nothing to build on.

Awareness is thought. And only it observes.

Because I've seen thought disappear in the blink of of traffic accident.
So there must be an aware creator present to know witness the accident as having happened.

But then you had denied previously, that this something needing an aware creator..

Here again are my two basic philosophical premises:


A. There is thought (awareness). --Descartes.
B. There are things that persist beyond thought. -Paracelsus.

No, you are just confused. Now stop blabbering and start reading. A basic understanding of my premises clarify my position.

Yes, it's called memory...memory on demand builds what appears to be seamless reality.

What is aware of memory?

My awareness, oh repetitive one. Look, you are a solipsistic. And I'm not dealing with your issue.

Awareness is not thought.

There is awareness of thought.

There can be awareness without thought...but there cannot be thought without awareness.

Is this awareness that you claim to have the something you were talking about earlier that you said does not need an aware creator?

Just spit your point out precisely, if you have one. I'll tell you if I agree or not, should it make sense. Make it really precise and unambiguous. Ambiguity is your problem.

You seem to be losing ground have you lost your tongue?

Just keep answering the questions?
