By now I consider major error in that particular analysis to be very unlikely. Too much of an avalanche of consistent data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XenoFish Posted October 17, 2019 #189 Share Posted October 17, 2019 The ideology in question is no different than many others. It is all about putting human qualities on the universe to better "understand it", with trying to figure it out. Looks like solipsism with the universe being the dreamer, existing as a dream and we are figment of the dreamers imagination. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coil Posted October 17, 2019 #191 Share Posted October 17, 2019 (edited) In an unconscious state (for example, as a result of a strong blow), the thin body or consciousness shifts relative to the physical body and brain, and since the person is not experienced in an out-of-body state, he does not realize himself outside the brain, but the human consciousness continues to work but his activity does not reach brain so that a person captures something. Just like in a deep dream, a person does not dream because consciousness goes so far that signals from the subtle mind are not transmitted to the brain but consciousness remains active at those levels. So consciousness is always active only in the brain and our organs cannot capture everything. Spiritual people see better with their eyes closed so that our physical senses do not interfere with the subtle organs that serve as the basis for the formation of physical senses.For example, a thin body sees 360 degrees around itself but our physical eyes see only forward and on the sides limited by the angle of rotation of the eyes.

Consciousness through a physical form can of course fairly easily be disabled. But the source of consciousness is eternal and would not be disabled in the subtle higher bodies (astral/causal/soul). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lightly Posted October 17, 2019 #195 Share Posted October 17, 2019 (edited) so what is our ordinary everyday consciousness ? Is it "electrical" activity in our brains? Synapses..like sparks! ? Which means our thoughts are the results of physical processes . Isn't it sort of like the structure of an atom? ..in that the activity is actually in between it's component points. ? ...similar to our solar system...it's the stabilization of the gravitational ,and rotational/centrifugal, forces In between Which holds it together. O~~~~~~ - ~~~~~~o pardon me? just thinking out loud . . . go ahead and talk amongst yourselves. Edited October 17, 2019 by lightly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
