  • This sounds almost like panspsychism.

  • if you like, but we have to be careful how we define 'mind.'

  • so basically the key to understanding more about consciousness is to become aware and feel the consciousness present in our bodies? i've just lately been getting into stuff talking about body-consciousness, such as this.

  • Right. Consciousness isn't this pure substance separate from the body and the world. It is inseparable from them.

  • @0ThouArtThat0 but then how can we have awareness of awareness if awareness isn't separable from its objects?

  • nevermind, I found it. If anyone else was wondering it's mindandreality()org / seminar()html

  • Is this conference, or parts of it available online? Would love to hear more on this topic.

  • I have always been a closet panpsychist, so this isn't a criticism. I agree that "mind" can be illusive and, of course, "consciousness" is equally hard to pin down. This is very interesting!
