This statement is probably inaccurate and is based on the mind-blowing implications of quantum theory and biocentrism. They are the logical framework of the brain that enable us to understand the reality that we have chosen to create.
Space and Time do not exist independently. There is no such thing as “my consciousness.” It’s getting close to the whole “god” thing that we’ve invented because we have no idea how things really came to be and work. They are created and interpreted in my mind.Ĭonsciousness is the foundational/only reality.
Sounds, smells, colors, tastes and tactile sensations do not exist independently. My “reality” is the brain-manufactured summation of electrochemical responses to sense organ reactions to external stimuli that appear in consciousness. I just become aware of them – until they fade away. Thoughts (whatever their precise energetic explanation might be) spontaneously arise from consciousness. My practice has enabled me to live with general awareness that: He hits my sweet spot with neuroscience, incorporating insights gained through dual and nondual traditions, psychedelic drugs and plain old rigorous philosophical examination of what we notice. Incorporating his Dzogchen training, he offers “pointing out” instructions like “Look for who’s looking” during the meditations. Most recently, I’ve come to appreciate the integrated way of understanding conscious experience explained by Sam Harris in his “Waking Up” book and meditation/teaching app. I explored Yogananda’s Self-Realization approach, also mantra-based, which was pitched in Westernized terms to be a way to “find God.” The Buddhist path, which resonates the most with me, points to the end of “suffering,” the illusion of a separate “self” and the impossible-to-satisfy desire for peace and happiness the ego craves. I thought of it as a way to reduce stress and get hold of my thoughts. Transcendental Meditation (TM) was the first form of meditation I practiced. I didn’t realize that my 46-year meditation practice was actually inquiry into the nature of reality until recently. Why sit in silence paying attention to the breath for 10 days? My answer emerges from a long history of inquiry into the nature of “reality.” Some thinking on paper about my upcoming silent Vipassana meditation retreat.
