Consciousness is the Seer that experience reading this sentence, though need neither agency nor reading skills in Being. It is Subjective itself, and not anything that which is an object, thus immeasurable. To deny this is to deny One Self.
- tsimionescu 6y agoBut it does interact with the physical world, and so there must be some objective, measurable mechanism when this happens. Even if you believe in dualism, this is almost inescapable (unless you bring in divinity, or deny the physical world entirely, as in hinduism).
- loopz 6y agoInteraction with the world will vary, may be minimized or even cease. It is not a prerequisite for consciousness, but it is for Inquiry. Ie. a light in a box, is it not light even if we can't always measure it? Do nothing exist unless we can touch it always, like photons? Mind may humble and liberate us, or limit and confuse. Start of Inquiry is like light discovering shadows in the cave wall, mistaking them for light. But shadows depend on light, and not vica versa, even if cold to the touch.
- dqpb 6y agoWhy are you randomly capitalizing words mid sentence?
- loopz 6y agoThey are not random words, but concepts that are sort of out of the ordinary, what can't be measured. Some people might recognize this later.
