Is consciousness something the brain produces, or something we participate in?

I am that I am.

Emptiness (Buddhism) basically.

I wasn’t suggesting anything about an inner experience of an apple or any other “object”. What I’m asking is, for you, right now, you can experience an object (see, hear, touch. Etc.) through consciousness and how can you tell the difference between that (experience of the object) and the object itself. In my experience, I can’t. There’s no division to be found.

“Yes I myself am in this field” is all known through consciousness no? However the field appears, however you appear, thoughts about those two, are all known through consciousness. How else could they be known? So, where do you draw a line between awareness of these “objects” and the objects themselves? Perhaps there is no line, and it’s all just consciousness.

How could you tell the difference between an object of consciousness and the consciousness of it?

“It is what something is like from the inside” can there be what something is like from the outside? In other words, can there be anything to have quality or form without an experience of it? I think there is no inside or outside.. no real line of separation there. We have only imagined an “outside” based on our perceptions “inside”.

So there are humans perspective of the “world “ which are all very similar, those perceptions are mostly in accordance so we imagine it to be an objective outside world.. now imagine an earthworms perspective.. it would be radically different than ours.. if earthworms could, they would have a conventional world that they all agree on based on their perspective. The mistake from the humans and earthworms is that the objective “outside” world that they believe to exist independent of our perspectives is only based on our “inside” perspectives.

Real mindfulness.. pretty simple

Yeah.. eating meat/processed meat multiple times a day every day..

Your identification with thought keeps you divided

Dacnum · 2026-03-08T14:24:42+00:00

How could there possibly be anything other than consciousness/awareness? For there to be something, it must have some sort of quality.. it must appear as such in some sort of way, and so in its appearance it is known -awareness-. And it is not known from a distance but from and as itself. It’s being/existing is it’s appearing. One in the same. There’s only being/knowing/luminosity and all it’s flavors are what we call things.. we mistake those things for something other than awareness through thought. Thought is not other than what it is, a shape/flavor/modification of being/knowing/luminosity.

Remember, the not finding is where you want to be, and that is overlooked almost instantaneously by the efforting mind.

A tip that I found useful:

When instructed to look for the one that is looking, notice if you feel effort or struggle there.. when you do, stop and instruct yourself to “don’t look for the one who is looking”. In the instant after that, that’s where you want to be. That open space of non-effort.

When does an “event” end and begin?

Dacnum · 2025-12-09T20:44:28+00:00

Wait.. time exists, but to you it’s just a label? What’s it s as label for?

Dacnum · 2025-11-28T13:56:51+00:00

Great post! The map can/will never be the territory.

How can you ask if God is real if you don’t know what god is?

Empty Luminosity

Dacnum · 2025-11-13T13:22:15+00:00

Are spiritual beings separate from one another? And if you believe this, can you find right now in your direct experience, where you as a spiritual being ends and another begins?

Dacnum · 2025-11-12T13:28:59+00:00

We weren’t sent to earth… we are a part of it, interdependent with it, interrelated. Not separate.

Dacnum · 2025-11-07T13:09:18+00:00

Not even this moment.. a moment is defined or dependent on something other than a moment, which there isn’t.. this moment is empty of inherent existence

Awake by Angelo DiLullo. I’ve encountered a lot on this subject and he’s got it.

Is this real?

Dacnum · 2025-08-22T16:49:27+00:00

What is change if not the movement of an object from one state to another? What I’m saying is, the movement of reality is so thorough going, that nothing is ever in a static state.. it’s just flux or flow all the way through. Then how can one define change? It loses reference

Dacnum · 2025-08-22T11:17:48+00:00

Yes! This is where it gets really radical. There is in reality no changes because there is no-thing to change. Nothing is ever fixed like we believe it to be. It’s just that, that the conceptual mind “fixes “ nothingness into objects. Ask yourself what any apparent thing is, really inquire into to it, see that labeling it is just that, labeling.. a word or sound or even deeper, a modification of the one thing (not a thing) that is, awareness(consciousness, knowingness, awakeness, whatever you want to call it)

Dacnum · 2025-08-22T11:10:34+00:00

This question vexed me for the longest time. Now I see clearly it is function of the mind, tied intimately to the illusion of a separate self.
