If it's all neural connections in the brain, why are some conscious, while others aren't? What is it that makes some conscious, and others not? Why the limitation? Is the limitation a protective filter, or is it due to having a limited supply of energy? 3) How did intelligence-awareness become " trapped " in this limited field of consciousness? 4) I can't remember the forth one but this'll do for now.

You assume that there are conscious individuals (including yourself) and then speculate about the nature of that consciousness. What if what we refer to as reality is not approachable with the conceptual mind? Could you take that? toombaru > > 3) How did intelligence-awareness become " trapped " in this limited > field of consciousness? Once again gain another erroneous conceptual assumption causing a wild goose chase into conceptual speculation. All of these questions cannot be answered because they emerge with thought system about the true nature of illusory separation. See that........and the walls come a tumblin down. toombaru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And please - > please...don't write poems as a response. > 1)consciousness can't, indeed, be Known 2)consciousness is as limited as an ocean is limited to a drop.... (your thoughts are based on a seperated fiction of being... just like the drop and ocean are seperated to each...only by the thinking mind) 3)to see whatever limitations..is like crossing a whole ocean on a boat....searching for the ocean whoever is " trapped " in something....is mainly " trapped " in his/herself....bubble....of ignorance 4)yes....poems are touching often the emotional level of being.... just like touching the ocean with few fingers....on the way to cross the ocean ....
