@loopsthroughloops also, I believe that it all comes back to basic consciousness. Since hearing and touch are still intact, then the person still can perceive the world around them consciously. You do bring up a good point tho.
Wait, why does this presentation end with such fervent optimism? He doesnt successfully unify phenomenon and noumenon by identifying the I with light, and God. On the contrary, there is still that indistinct Nothing of the Night that is left over, that which precedes Light, God, I: "Perturbations of the Absolute", in Russell's own terms. This nothing is unreflective, it is not "photosensitive", it does not appear. And for all that, this is the nothing in which everything is enveloped, in-itself.
The basic concious existence he portrays is exactly the same as the realisations I have come to in recent years... Especially in saying that "We are God". I find it sad how often such thoughts are dismissed by people who just assume this physical reality is everything. Everyone feels the conciousness, but only a small percentage can see past the "charade" that the conciousness presents to us. Only in death, I believe, will we all see it for what it really is.
im gonna have a heart attack here having just watched this now i reolise i knew all this already ,one time when i got really stoned it just all came to me!!!! im consciously lucifer xD
@loopsthroughloops good question :) I can't imagine how a person that's been blind from birth would perceive the world. interesting to thing about... thanks ~ best wishes!
@metedude2 their experience is surely very different, but they can still experience light on their skin; heat is a form of light (infrared radiation).
@loopsthroughloops They see the world very different from you. Since they cannot rely on light, all of their other senses are much more trained than ours.
to be aware of the self you do not need to see hear taste or touch to gain pure self awareness always question who am I bring it to the core and that I believe is the basis not light it self but consciousness about who I am break it down and you are light not the sense to see but what composes my conscious .light hope this helped
@loopsthroughloops blind people can still produce light within the brain through dreams. like when you see things when you dream its not the eyes that is producing it.
I had a hard time understanding this presentation from part 4 onward. The part about things may not really be what they appear made sense, but not the part that totally denied external reality as a whole. Regardless of what Mr. Russell says, we all act and react to this external reality. External reality has an effect on our consciousness. I think it's too much of a leap to reduce all of reality to consciousness, as opposed to our perception of reality.
very good videos i especialy enjoyed the part where you talked about what we see and what is actualy out there it made me look at my room and realise nothing is there, i am not religous but i do think it is possible that there is a 'god' not a bearded white man on a cloud but more like a force or a light and i found this video very intresting.
Interesting videos and concepts. but seems like more philosophy than science (meditation and introspection). Space and time are the same, ok, everything is everything.. alright. But you still have the same basic question about consciousness at the end of the series
also the part where he talked about remote healing and remote viewing in part 2 ALMOST made me stop watching, because science has demonstrated over and over they simply do not exist
Thomas 50: Jesus said, "If they say to you, 'Where did you come from?', say to them, 'We came from the light, the place where the light came into being on its own accord and established itself and became manifest through their image.' If they say to you, 'Is it you?', say, 'We are its children, we are the elect of the living father.' If they ask you, 'What is the sign of your father in you?', say to them, 'It is movement and repose.'"
Thom 3: Jesus said, "If those who lead you say to you, 'See, the kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you. When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty."
Could there be one conscious field which, by means of its own will, creates the physical reality we experience? Every organism is made from a tiny piece of this field, which starts off with minimum consciousness, not even aware of where it came, and in turn grows in consciousness, depending on what it is. This would be a way for the conscious field to experience something other than loneliness - a good system for itself to get by the neverendingness of its own single existence. Just a thought.
@1simonmatthews Interesting thought :) I do think there may be a fundamental field or dimension of "consciousness" from which our physical reality is derived... I'm reading Tom Campbell's "My Big TOE" now, his theory of everything, and what you say is similar to his model. best wishes!
@metedude2 Thanks. Ah yes I've seen a lot of Thomas Campbell's seminars on YouTube. Good stuff. I'm listening to Alan Watts at the moment, only found out about him yesterday. He's a brilliant man.
aha, they so have fallen unconscious : ) i will have to confess , the topic is a little daunting for me too, specially the einstien and relativity part , episodes 5 and 6.
@sketchup73 It means that more people have viewed the first part of the series in comparison with the last part. You will notice the same pattern for most series' of multiple videos, you will only get a small percentage of people who will watch the series to the end in its entirety
@metedude2 aha, they so have fallen unconscious : ) i will have to confess , the topic is a little daunting for me too, specially the einstien and relativity part , episodes 5 and 6.
Yeh man, for sure. It's the true nature of reality. Every conscious being has known this forever and few ever address it. It's hidden beneath the distraction of modern life. Breakfast, commuting, work, commuting, dinner, tv, sleep. All of it's just stuff that we do. There is no goal to reach because it is all here right now. If you realise that it is all here in the "now" then you can stop the struggle. You still need to work and live but you live for "now" instead of the future.
Wonderful illuminating discussion. But why is it, in these kinds of discussions, the topic of death is always avoided? What are the implications of this regarding death and our subjective "experience" of it? Is reincarnation not just mystical mumbo/jumbo but a reasonably certain reality? If so, might it be experienced inside or outside of time? Or even into another universe with different physical laws entirely? I know that nobody knows for sure, but surely this has some definite implications.
Hmm, his mistake is to view the universe from consciousnesses perspective, and not from the universes perspective. The universe prefers entropy. There is no universal consciousness, there is chaos. Entropy. The void. Which is beyond consciousness, which is far too ordered. We are all one MULTIverse, but not one consciousness. Make the most of your consciousness now, for it will be lost in the white noise of infinity.
@kiranbrar cause there are evil people who do not want us to realize the truth, they have been discrediting the truth for century's, and calling all the people who realized the truth crazy, and had them killed so people would remain ignorant.
We don't understand God, the Judaism version of God is I am, this is a version of God in which they explain God, the God I am as it is written. The truth you think you speak is nothing more than saying something that has been vomited up like the maloncholic nature of human kind. We are nothing more than a clever monkey, a very lucky one indeed. You belong to this nature nothing more than that. You give credit to a religion that is philosophy of why what how not fact.
If all that is, is consciousness experiencing it self, doesn't this also mean that "we" should be able to change this "reality" or the "perception" of it according to our "free will"? I hope I used some helpful substitute words , I don't think the right ones have been invented yet. For example, shouldn't I or anyone be able to, turn the sky green by simply "waking up" and being aware of the fact that what we are and all there is , is just consciousness?
@3ple6 Yes, but not when ourselves are impure, and what I mean by that is loaded with chemicals, toxins and self doubts which inevitably everybody experiences in this world. We need to achieve a state of perfect balance before we can truly explore our consciousness and all of its capabilities, otherwise we are hindered by these things, trapped if you will.
The current world you experience is a representation of yourself and only through purifying the self may you purify the world around you.
You know what, I even asked myself "Wherefore dost thou complainest thus?", and I realized, nope, don't envy the man, don't envy having his sort of audience, attention, what have you. Not in the slightest (I checked, and "nope"). I would be happy to admit that and learn from it, if it were true, but it isn't... So, "wherefore"? "Wherein that he covers nothing of value, yet he presents as one who would do so, thereby polluting the stage with his presence, the stage of communion".
"So the truth is: You are consciousness, period. Nothing else". THAT IS PURE DRIVEL. You could have started off saying that and then asked people what they thought of that. They might not have laughed or clapped as much because they might then have wanted to ask you "Ok, now what the hell else is new?" So NOW what can you say, Sir Peter Russell? WHAT? NOTHING... You have NOTHING TO SAY except that "we make a mistake" but that "we aren't there".... so now, SELF-CONTRADICTORY drivel!!!
This is what I was wanting to know, what was he really going to say. From now on I just look at the last point. Now that we ARE GOD, Peter Russell, Sir Peter Russell, WHAT do you say THAT is? Hmmmm? Peace... (ok)... but then you revert to "consciousness in its essence" but then you say NOTHING about that essence. You have NOT got it, SIR. And to call Al Arabi a SPANISH mystic is to call someone named Heinz Helmholtz a Japanese electrical scientist because he lived in Japan (if he did).
it shows the fact that God has nothing to do with religion nor science, i have always had a deep feeling that something is missing from MY puzzle, it still is, but after watching this I believe I'm a bit closer to what I regard as reality. Thank you very much for posting it! and of course 'peace to you all'
I find similarities with this and "A Course in Miracles", and "A New Earth". And some of these concepts can be found in the Bible. "Love your neighbor as yourself"....because he IS part of yourself. And God is with us all. Wonderful set of videos. Thank you so much for posting! Namaste
I like that view, that everyone makes up god, and add everyone to create god, because if a terrorist was to kill americans, you can say to them, he is fighting for god supposibly yet at the same time he is fighting against god, if this view is shown as real, terrorism maybe resolved through words
I'm still trying to wrap my head around the assumption that other conscious beings are all God as well (I'll use that term to keep things simple) So how come not every subjective consciousness comes to this conclusion before they expire?
@321lawc someone can just as easily talk about ''scientific mumbo jumbo'', but that doesn't show anything but ignorance. Just because you don't understand anything doesn't mean that it doesn't make sense, if you have an argument to make, then make it instead of calling childish names.
wow this made me look at relativity totally different. very informative and educating. This should help bridge a divide between science and religion debate I think. If everyone developed or altered their way of thinking a bit. nobody is wrong but nobody is right. makes no sene but perfect sense.
The only realities we know of is the one our brains manufactures. Our brain receives millions of signals every minute and the brain organizes them into holographic images and these images are perceived as being outside our brain and we call this really.
So it can be seen that the video/videos you object to actually contradict themselves but never the less there is factual information in them. Islamic doctrine or any doctrine is a belief and a belief is not a fact. To believe in something is not the same as knowing something.
I do not object to Peter Russell and his ideas. They are very interesting and entertaining, especially the "light's point of view", which I remember only having started to speculate about a few times, but never consequently finished the idea (although I have a physics PhD).
I am OUTRAGED about this "Secret Beyond Matter" BECAUSE IT IS RELIGIOUS PROPAGANDA. Religion is belief, and belief is mankind's biggest disease. And by belief I mean EVERYTHING that you can think of. -Now think about that.
profound and touching - this presentation walks us through the realization of what many of understand to be true into being able to start accepting and integrating these truths into our worldview.
the comments section is quite inspiring as well - maybe there is hope for us all yet
awesome awesome video. thanks for the post much appreciated.
all i gotta say is we are one consciousness and emotions play a roll in creation. which has been proven and makes light vibrate in a certain frequency i guess. so enjoy this experience/ride :} but as long as you pay real attention to your feelings and know its under some form of LOVE.
The speech was amazing, I also read all your comments. I think that the positivity of God, and what the true message or will of God always was, has nothing to do with how religions face People or God or Jesus. I believe that if there will ever be an antichrist, that will 100% be 1 element on this dimension called earth → the religions. Fanaticism = Blindness. God or Jesus or Man, never needed sponsors, ..Sells-without. Thank you, best wishes to all.
I can't believe this ! You have told the world what it really is in just 7 episode.You have told the whole essence of gynayoga in just few minutes! Superb Work! I wish lot of people and scientists go deep through this.But I know only handful will be able to grasp the Absolute. I would dare to say you are at par with Einstein or may be more intellectual than Einstein. I appreciate your efforts.I know its not easy to come up with such a wisdom.May be people will understand this wisdom little late.
@sashanaod - Look up Gregg Braden. What I got from some of his videos/lectures is that there is this energy that we cant see called "subtle energy" i think. and it has like waves through thousands of years that makes i guess history repeat itself. So most of our emotions especially any that fall under "negative" emotions our not just thought up.
What I'm saying by what I've learned is that life is an experience to learn who yourself is and to overcome/balance your emotions into love. why love?
@sashanaod - continue lol. anyways well the emotions that fall under love or i guess "positive" feelings have shown higher frequencies and well you can just feel the greatness of it. and who know wheres those frequencies might make light create..
also cause well even though we know we are one consciousness, the thought of all this creation in the first place seems like a "creator or higher being" yes?and there still that question whats after death?
I just cant feel the love. To assume that the way in which humans interpret the world is the very substrate upon which all existence unfolds is rather anthropocentric. Consciousness is simply a construct resulting from chemical reactions in the brain. It is neither greater nor less than a rose exhibiting the color red or the stench coming off a pile of shit. Humans think consciousness is special because the beings in which it is encapsulated are deemed to be of a higher order by default.
Have you ever known anything else other than your consciousness? It's not as if we can be objective and say "well, consciousness is great but we need to consider all these other things too." All things are experienced through consciousness. Whatever we believe, how then can we ignore its significance?
I do feel rather bored of the notion that athiesm is devoid of spirituality. Amazing shit's going on people.
Actually, to think that consciousness is all that exists is to think objectively. Think about it. You are taking something that is subjective and replacing all other potential subjectivities with your own. You are creating an overarching monolithic subjectivity that has no room for others. Then everything becomes an object within your inflated subjectivity. This is what I think it means to believe that ones consciousness is all there is. Sorry, I just dont believe in spiritual communism.
@bungerman1000 Yes, I do. To explain myself further, I'll repeat what I stated in a dialogue elsewhere on Youtube pertaining to this exact topic. The term consciousness is what Ferdinand de Saussure would call a sign, an acoustic/image couched in the matrix of language. The linguistic matrix within which the term consciousness is couched is itself, however, a system that makes sense only to humans. So, I would argue that consciousness is just a word that has meaning to humans, nothing more.
@bungerman1000 Moreover, I would also argue that the neural apparatus that allows for the linguistic system of representation that we bring to bear on reality to exist in the first place is also something unique to what we call humans. I casually call this neural apparatus consciousness because without it my concept of consciousness would not even exist. If I were to attempt to come as close as possible to what I think consciousness truly is, though, I would have to say that it is nothing.
@bungerman1000 This is why it bothers me to see people throw the word around as though it is everything. What I'm proposing on a deeper level is the Buddhist notion of emptiness or Śūnyatā. What Russell proposes is something quite different, and that is the reification of consciousness as a thing. Russell is heavily influenced by the Hindu concepts of ātman and Brahman. I, on the other hand, am influenced by the notion of anātman.
What do you mean, "reality as it is?" Your reality is different from mine, but our realities are even more different from a plant's, or a single celled organism's. Please understand that I'm not devaluing plants or single celled organisms. I'm simply saying that life is extremely diverse and to subsume all existence under what we as humans deem to be consciousness is a little arrogant and even naïve, in my opinion. Consciousness is simply a human mode of being in the world. Cont.
@lookatmepleasesir To answer your question about spiritual communism, if you are perplexed by this phrase, I completely understand. Upon reflection, it does sound a little silly. What I mean is that I am suspicious of any philosophy that attempts to subsume "reality" (whatever that is) under one ideal, principle, or unifying structure. Especially when said reality is interpreted and subsumed under what I believe to be solely a human mode of being. Cont.
@lookatmepleasesir Really, even the phrase "human mode of being" is, in my opinion, dubious, as it evokes the notion of wholeness among humans. No two humans experience the world similarly. A highly advanced system of language allows us to communicate ideas between ourselves and also organize the world in which we are a part, but I believe the error lies in believing that a concept couched in language, such as "consciousness" or "human mode of being" is the sum that is greater than its parts.
@Kaniki80 Don't get caught up in the use of language or words. Assume that words are representations of "things" without actually being the things. What makes us human? Is it biology or experience? The discussion is focused on experience, and "consciousness" represents the "who" that is having the experience whether "real" or imagined. No absolute authority here. Just open discussion and free thought.
@fedner31 To interject the term consciousness into your equation, let's look at the following: Assume that consciousness is a representation of the thing, without actually being the thing. My point is that you cannot know what the thing is until you ascribe a word to said thing. I think John Searle said it best when he claimed that "what counts as an object, what counts as reality, is a function of the system of representation that we bring to bear upon reality, namely language." Cont.
@fedner31 Russell attempts to build off of our concepts of consciousness and if we don't have a concept of what consciousness is already, he defines it for us. He makes it quite clear that consciousness subsumes all existence, hence the Primacy of Consciousness. I simply disagree, however. Russell can't even begin to have a conversation about consciousness and we, as the audience, can't even begin to understand him without the neural apparatus that allows for Russell’s concepts to be expressed.
@Kaniki80 We can understand what the apparatus is in terms of consciousness, it's called the psychology of that apparatus (psychology precedes and is different from neuroanatomy). At the same time, one should walk away from him wanting, since he cannot tell anyone anything significant about consciousness, or even God for that matter, without using bland words like "source" and "ground" (yawn). THAT is what he cannot begin to have a conversation about.
@Kaniki80 Human is an amorphous concept outside of the specific thought constructs in which it is employed very strictly. Don't assume others subscribe to those narrow parameters of thought when thinking more broadly about reality.
This all gets weirder when you realize that you can analyze your own life like Sherlock Holmes with things that before were seemingly unconnected or irrelevant, but then when put in the right order become clues to the future. The more you practice it - the better you get at it.
example - I linked the film 12 Monkeys to Dark Side of the Moon through Project Blue Beam, and realized that the UFOs are hiding out, waiting for the holographic light show to pick up the gnostics before the apocalypse:)
As soon as we recognize that we are not an island unto ourselves, and that as soon as we try this, we run into some sort of disharmony, we will recognize that we are all interdependent, and that this relationship is not a one to many or a many to one, we will begin to realize that there is something bigger than self. We like to call the cohesiveness of substance God.
The "self" term that you used in "The bigger than the self" part, the is what I like to call Ego part.( I think you also meant the same). the one that like to identify itself as a particular physical (Like I am an adult , i was a child i belong to a nation, race etc) and phycological (name, fame, character, Like I am angry, etc etc) aspect
As soon as we rid ourselves of Ego, we are available to our higher consciousness, called Soul. We do each have special gifts and occupy a space in collective consciousness and have a purpose. We are each unitque like a snowflake. There are no coincidences...We cooperate with time which is measured in spiritual progress.
Our biology is quite reactive to our consciousness, and not the other way around. Our bodies do help us express ourselves, and they also keep us pure of heart and mind...they have corrective features! Those pure of heart find that they are not dependent on their bodies.
God is Soul, however, I cannot say I am God. We are one drop in an ocean, and we are dependent on it. Thankfully, there is a principle which binds us and does force harmony to prevail. It is always Love which is causative.
Excellent series of videos! Thanks for posting them. Indeed it's so strange yet so very satisfying that modern science is catching up with what mystics have always maintained. I wonder what "the world" would be when science reaches there finally....I guess reality would then, and only then, emerge!!
thanks for the comment... we shall what happens with science, i think it depends on whether those directing the science are unselfish or selfish in their motives... it can go either way :)
I have to say this... Those Audiences are a bit annoying.. It seems like watching a reality show where there will be this show Crew hiolding the Banner "Laugh" "Clap" etc... They just laugh at any thing i think..
Regarding this presentation
Its just incredible...
You translate Upanishads and other philosophies properly and you will get this presentation..
I agree with you there reg. clapping/laughter...indeed at times it was simply annoying. I felt that the audience was not "understanding" it. Credit to Peter Russell for continuing with it...
I was also able to correlate many things talked about here with Vedanta/Upanishads.
@zsknair i recomend you to take a look at themayan calendar explained by xen lung and pretty much aligns with this talks and explains the process of evolution in consciousness.
the previous statement "Earth moon stars and sun revolve inside me" makes me think about us all being particles of matter or organisms in a bigger body as for the universe
excellent. to seek that real 'I', the 'existence', the 'consioucness' which is GOD was the true message of Christianity (as Jesus wrote in the Bible, and mystics like Jacob Boehme explained), Sikhism (as Guru Nanak explained and the saints such as Sant Waryam Singh preached), Hinduism (as Bhagvan Krishna explained and many Saints of vedanta and tantra preached), Budhism (as Budha wrote and the saints and mystics of Budhism explain).
When these people bought their ticket I think they thought it was Russel Peters not the other way around becasue clearly they are a more appropriate audiance for a comedy show!
@Laitings This would scare the living crap out of the religious. They're simply NOT ready; literally NOT ready to be "unplugged". Where there's religious indoctrination, there is always high inertia of the mind.
What a great orator and presentation, however it would be dishonest of me to say that there weren't bias and faulty premises in his speech.
I'm certainly not contesting the notion that consciousness might be beyond our biological realm of existence, but the statement that our biology/matter bears no significance creates a dissonance to why these so-called "illusions" exist in the first place.
Obviously there is a median where matter and consciousness find relevancy in their association.
i haven't seen this presentation in a while, but i have to agree that our biology/matter is significant and does play an active role in the experience of consciousness
Well matter and biology are the methods by which consciousness is able to express itself. Without biology, the 'universal mind' would be likened to being asleep. It is through these molecular machines called life in which it grows in complexity and awareness.
as you make this statement... you are blinded by the structure of mind. Ego will get really blurry and locks you to the mind pattern which is stuck in your mind. Try some meditation...
It doesn't explain explain anything to you because of your structure and awareness level.
Gently nudge them... and you'll start to see and doors will be opened by yourself. You hold the key.
True enough. We certainly can't find what we don't look for. But this doesn't explain why you prefer to find a magical explanation for our existence when a terribly mundane one will do.
the same stuff has been taught to us during meditation classes
they usually give references of " vedas "
1. rig veda
2. atharva veda
3. sama veda
4. yajur veda
and 9 upnishads
they are thousands of year old

Yeh man, for sure. It's the true nature of reality. Every conscious being has known this forever and few ever address it. It's hidden beneath the distraction of modern life. Breakfast, commuting, work, commuting, dinner, tv, sleep. All of it's just stuff that we do. There is no goal to reach because it is all here right now. If you realise that it is all here in the "now" then you can stop the struggle. You still need to work and live but you live for "now" instead of the future.

Wonderful illuminating discussion. But why is it, in these kinds of discussions, the topic of death is always avoided? What are the implications of this regarding death and our subjective "experience" of it? Is reincarnation not just mystical mumbo/jumbo but a reasonably certain reality? If so, might it be experienced inside or outside of time? Or even into another universe with different physical laws entirely? I know that nobody knows for sure, but surely this has some definite implications.

Hmm, his mistake is to view the universe from consciousnesses perspective, and not from the universes perspective. The universe prefers entropy. There is no universal consciousness, there is chaos. Entropy. The void. Which is beyond consciousness, which is far too ordered. We are all one MULTIverse, but not one consciousness. Make the most of your consciousness now, for it will be lost in the white noise of infinity.

If all that is, is consciousness experiencing it self, doesn't this also mean that "we" should be able to change this "reality" or the "perception" of it according to our "free will"? I hope I used some helpful substitute words , I don't think the right ones have been invented yet. For example, shouldn't I or anyone be able to, turn the sky green by simply "waking up" and being aware of the fact that what we are and all there is , is just consciousness?

@3ple6 Yes, but not when ourselves are impure, and what I mean by that is loaded with chemicals, toxins and self doubts which inevitably everybody experiences in this world. We need to achieve a state of perfect balance before we can truly explore our consciousness and all of its capabilities, otherwise we are hindered by these things, trapped if you will.
The current world you experience is a representation of yourself and only through purifying the self may you purify the world around you.

"So the truth is: You are consciousness, period. Nothing else". THAT IS PURE DRIVEL. You could have started off saying that and then asked people what they thought of that. They might not have laughed or clapped as much because they might then have wanted to ask you "Ok, now what the hell else is new?" So NOW what can you say, Sir Peter Russell? WHAT? NOTHING... You have NOTHING TO SAY except that "we make a mistake" but that "we aren't there".... so now, SELF-CONTRADICTORY drivel!!!

I do not object to Peter Russell and his ideas. They are very interesting and entertaining, especially the "light's point of view", which I remember only having started to speculate about a few times, but never consequently finished the idea (although I have a physics PhD).

@sashanaod - Look up Gregg Braden. What I got from some of his videos/lectures is that there is this energy that we cant see called "subtle energy" i think. and it has like waves through thousands of years that makes i guess history repeat itself. So most of our emotions especially any that fall under "negative" emotions our not just thought up.
What I'm saying by what I've learned is that life is an experience to learn who yourself is and to overcome/balance your emotions into love. why love?

I just cant feel the love. To assume that the way in which humans interpret the world is the very substrate upon which all existence unfolds is rather anthropocentric. Consciousness is simply a construct resulting from chemical reactions in the brain. It is neither greater nor less than a rose exhibiting the color red or the stench coming off a pile of shit. Humans think consciousness is special because the beings in which it is encapsulated are deemed to be of a higher order by default.

Have you ever known anything else other than your consciousness? It's not as if we can be objective and say "well, consciousness is great but we need to consider all these other things too." All things are experienced through consciousness. Whatever we believe, how then can we ignore its significance?
I do feel rather bored of the notion that athiesm is devoid of spirituality. Amazing shit's going on people.
grantfaceclaw 2 years ago
Actually, to think that consciousness is all that exists is to think objectively. Think about it. You are taking something that is subjective and replacing all other potential subjectivities with your own. You are creating an overarching monolithic subjectivity that has no room for others. Then everything becomes an object within your inflated subjectivity. This is what I think it means to believe that ones consciousness is all there is. Sorry, I just dont believe in spiritual communism.

you think it's ego that drives these thoughts?
bungerman1000 1 year ago
@bungerman1000 Yes, I do. To explain myself further, I'll repeat what I stated in a dialogue elsewhere on Youtube pertaining to this exact topic. The term consciousness is what Ferdinand de Saussure would call a sign, an acoustic/image couched in the matrix of language. The linguistic matrix within which the term consciousness is couched is itself, however, a system that makes sense only to humans. So, I would argue that consciousness is just a word that has meaning to humans, nothing more.
Kaniki80 1 year ago
@bungerman1000 Moreover, I would also argue that the neural apparatus that allows for the linguistic system of representation that we bring to bear on reality to exist in the first place is also something unique to what we call humans. I casually call this neural apparatus consciousness because without it my concept of consciousness would not even exist. If I were to attempt to come as close as possible to what I think consciousness truly is, though, I would have to say that it is nothing.
Kaniki80 1 year ago
@bungerman1000 This is why it bothers me to see people throw the word around as though it is everything. What I'm proposing on a deeper level is the Buddhist notion of emptiness or Śūnyatā. What Russell proposes is something quite different, and that is the reification of consciousness as a thing. Russell is heavily influenced by the Hindu concepts of ātman and Brahman. I, on the other hand, am influenced by the notion of anātman.
Kaniki80 1 year ago
@Kaniki80 so our experience of reality has absolutely nothing to do with reality as it really is? isn't this dualism?

What do you mean, "reality as it is?" Your reality is different from mine, but our realities are even more different from a plant's, or a single celled organism's. Please understand that I'm not devaluing plants or single celled organisms. I'm simply saying that life is extremely diverse and to subsume all existence under what we as humans deem to be consciousness is a little arrogant and even naïve, in my opinion. Consciousness is simply a human mode of being in the world. Cont.
Kaniki80 1 year ago
@lookatmepleasesir To answer your question about spiritual communism, if you are perplexed by this phrase, I completely understand. Upon reflection, it does sound a little silly. What I mean is that I am suspicious of any philosophy that attempts to subsume "reality" (whatever that is) under one ideal, principle, or unifying structure. Especially when said reality is interpreted and subsumed under what I believe to be solely a human mode of being. Cont.
Kaniki80 1 year ago
@lookatmepleasesir Really, even the phrase "human mode of being" is, in my opinion, dubious, as it evokes the notion of wholeness among humans. No two humans experience the world similarly. A highly advanced system of language allows us to communicate ideas between ourselves and also organize the world in which we are a part, but I believe the error lies in believing that a concept couched in language, such as "consciousness" or "human mode of being" is the sum that is greater than its parts.

@Kaniki80 'No two humans experience the world similarly.' That's just plain untrue. I don't understand how you could come to this conclusion.

@Kaniki80 Don't get caught up in the use of language or words. Assume that words are representations of "things" without actually being the things. What makes us human? Is it biology or experience? The discussion is focused on experience, and "consciousness" represents the "who" that is having the experience whether "real" or imagined. No absolute authority here. Just open discussion and free thought.
fedner31 1 year ago
@fedner31 To interject the term consciousness into your equation, let's look at the following: Assume that consciousness is a representation of the thing, without actually being the thing. My point is that you cannot know what the thing is until you ascribe a word to said thing. I think John Searle said it best when he claimed that "what counts as an object, what counts as reality, is a function of the system of representation that we bring to bear upon reality, namely language." Cont.
Kaniki80 1 year ago
@fedner31 Russell attempts to build off of our concepts of consciousness and if we don't have a concept of what consciousness is already, he defines it for us. He makes it quite clear that consciousness subsumes all existence, hence the Primacy of Consciousness. I simply disagree, however. Russell can't even begin to have a conversation about consciousness and we, as the audience, can't even begin to understand him without the neural apparatus that allows for Russell’s concepts to be expressed.
Kaniki80 1 year ago
@Kaniki80 We can understand what the apparatus is in terms of consciousness, it's called the psychology of that apparatus (psychology precedes and is different from neuroanatomy). At the same time, one should walk away from him wanting, since he cannot tell anyone anything significant about consciousness, or even God for that matter, without using bland words like "source" and "ground" (yawn). THAT is what he cannot begin to have a conversation about.
wenaolong 1 year ago
@fedner31 You take this apparatus away, however, "consciousness", as a point of discussion, disappears. So where is "consciousness?"

Our biology is quite reactive to our consciousness, and not the other way around. Our bodies do help us express ourselves, and they also keep us pure of heart and mind...they have corrective features! Those pure of heart find that they are not dependent on their bodies.
God is Soul, however, I cannot say I am God. We are one drop in an ocean, and we are dependent on it. Thankfully, there is a principle which binds us and does force harmony to prevail. It is always Love which is causative.

What a great orator and presentation, however it would be dishonest of me to say that there weren't bias and faulty premises in his speech.
I'm certainly not contesting the notion that consciousness might be beyond our biological realm of existence, but the statement that our biology/matter bears no significance creates a dissonance to why these so-called "illusions" exist in the first place.
Obviously there is a median where matter and consciousness find relevancy in their association.

Sophism. Another attempt to imbue the nature of human consciousness with spiritual qualities. It doesn't explain anything at all.

as you make this statement... you are blinded by the structure of mind. Ego will get really blurry and locks you to the mind pattern which is stuck in your mind. Try some meditation...
It doesn't explain explain anything to you because of your structure and awareness level.
Gently nudge them... and you'll start to see and doors will be opened by yourself. You hold the key.
