Yet another take on acceptance vs non-acceptance/no-me: mirror & light, and chakra...

[Guest guest]

Sorry, dear conservative and misinformed friend,

 

But consciousness is no mirror. That mirror metaphor is an old myth

which is totally wrong because there is no consiousness. And there is

also no so called pure consciousness. Consciousness is its content -

no content, no consciousness.

 

Sensory input is processed in the brain and then made conscious. This

processing is absolut subjective and personal. You are the world and

that world which you are is a subjective world and there is no second

humann being which owns the same contents (of consciousness) as you

do. Good by mirror, welcome subjectivity ...
