Guest guest Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 For whatever it's worth, what I see is Awareness, which in it's Singularity is not 'aware of' anything. Out of this Awareness arises the potential to be 'aware of', which we call Consciousness. Out of Consciousness arises experience, which is the actualization of the potential to be 'conscious of'.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 It is my experience that there is a vast Ocean of Life, a Being, that manifests itSelf as all that we see. This unManifest has been experienced by various individuals throughout time. It has been called by various names. Some call it Satchidananda, Existence, Consciousness, Bliss. Consciousness is an aspect of that Being. It is my feeling that Consciousness is but one component of that Being. I listen to the various voices of Vedanta as they extol the virtues of Consciousness and they are only partially correct. Before, after and beyond Turiya, the clear Consciousness, is a Being, not a person; but a Being of unimaginable glory. It is the Self of All. And to name it Consciousness alone would be absurd. After the darshan of the Universal Being, one would be a fool to qualify It in any way whatsoever.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Well, okay, we have names and concepts and we're likely tripping over them trying to talk about the indescribable. You describe physicality as arising from this Being, which you alternately call Consciousness, except that you feel Consciousness is a component of Being. So physicality arises without the possibility of anything being conscious of it except in the case that this Being is Consciousness, unless your feeling is right and Consciousness is a component of Being. It's all very confusing to me. To me, Awareness is the ground of Being. Out of Awareness arises Consciousness as one of it's potentialities. Out of Consciousness arises the world of illusion. How else could the illusion be conscious of Being? Phil In a message dated 9/28/2006 5:02:09 A.M.
