Simply put, it is that which is creating. — Rich
Another way to understand it, it is that which is peering through the eyes. — Rich
How something which doesn't have any essence can create? Mind should be something. — bahman
So mind experience as well. Does that decide too? — bahman
That is definition of mind in my opinion: The essence of any being with ability to experience, decide and create/act. — bahman
They are fundamentally different vibrations that we are experiencing. Each with its own form and intensity that it's embedded in the fabric of the (holographic) universe. In a sense, everything is feeling. — Rich
All particle are interacting with each other and the motion of the whole is given by Schrodinger equation. That one process. Materialists claim that consciousness is the result of process in matter. — bahman
No, they are not equivalent. They can only be converted to each other. We know this by fact, there is an experiencer and a subject of experience. — bahman
Okay, so what do you tell the materialists? How do you resolve it? Tell the materialists that since process is not identical with the particles, then necessarily, by claiming there are particles, they admit to space-time existence. Since they admit to space-time existence, then the world is a manifold. And what do you get in world with parts, with atoms, with which you create a picture of reality? Individuation of consciousness. — Caldwell
So what is the source of creation of consciousness? Matter field? — bahman
Is the manifold continuous? — bahman
The Tao begot one. (Mind begins to move)
One begot two. (Yin/Yang, positive/negative, opposites, a wave form
Two begot three. (Yin/Yang/Qi, polarity and energy, a moving wave form, mind/will
And three begot the ten thousand things. (Spiraling, vibrating waves create everything.
The ten thousand things carry yin and embrace yang. (Everything is composed of moving waves)
They achieve harmony by combining these forces. — Rich
I've mentioned Bergson quite often so I figure if someone is interested they will read him directly, which is the only way to learn and develop one's own metaphysical ontology. What I am describing is mine in which draws from many sources including my own practices as well as my own thoughts. — Rich
The universe is constitute of many parts. There is however one process which describes the evolution of whole since all parts are interacting with each other. This means that there should be a single consciousness if we relate consciousness to motion of parts. Instead we observe that consciousness is personal and local. How do you resolve this problem? — bahman
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
