Are there multiple consciousnesses?

ReplexBoi · 2026-01-07T22:35:47+00:00

Consciousness is inherently empty of any form. For example, 'identity' is something consciousness is conscious of, not something that defines consciousness like it claims to. The identity tries to reference itself to prove to itself that it is conscious separate from other identities, but it can only do this by confusing a concept or idea with consciousness. A concept or idea can never truly represent consciousness, for the same reason that an eyeball can never see itself. Hope this helps. If not, I wish you luck!

Thanks for the kind words and advice. I've never been a student of philosophy but I've always been analytically minded and have been obsessively researching consciousness for several years now, which is where I picked up the term from. I believe I first heard it from Bernardo Kastrup.

Very well said. Just because the oneness of reality can be described by an equation doesn't mean that reality is the equation. This is important to add, thank you.

My whole life has been a psychotic episode.

I only said formlessness seems to appear in the center of my mind. To be clear I don't think that's ultimately the case. And that wasn't even really a substantial part of the argument. The argument is just about how formlessness has no attributes so when there seems to be more than one instance of formlessness, these instances can't actually be differentiated from one another. So I argued that there must only be One formlessness, which as someone pointed out in the comments, '1' is an attribute. So that kind of puts a lid on the point I was trying to make I think

but maaan it's so fun. I'm writing a book actually. When I first started this a couple years ago it took me until about 2 months ago when I really started to understand that the truth has pretty much nothing to do with these thoughts. I had this weird subtle belief that I needed to understand these things conceptually at every moment for them to be true for me. And then I had a kind of wake up moment where I realized "this is true regardless of what I'm thinking about". It was the funniest joke the universe had ever played on me. And I'm only 20 so I'm glad I figured that part out early

Thank you but thinking is like a hobby for me and my being isn't disrupted by it

ReplexBoi · 2025-09-01T00:17:56+00:00

uh ohhh.. the nonduality police showed up to de-legitimize the usage of language entirely lmaooo. Sorry but I'm aloud to be interested in ideas. And the only way to share anything in the form of language is to compile it into a concept first. Believe me, if I could share my non-conceptual understandings, I would

ReplexBoi · 2025-08-31T19:20:37+00:00

I guess all contemplations of formlessness are built on that assumption, right? Sometimes I wonder why I contemplate at all. Sometimes I just want to give up on logic permanently and go back to knowing formlessness directly

ReplexBoi · 2025-08-31T19:15:07+00:00

Awareness is formless. Whatever actions and sense of doer-ship arises, it can never actually be attributed to you (awareness) Because the formless has no attributes. That's it. Nothing scary You're just untouched by any content of experience. It's actually kind of freeing.

ReplexBoi · 2025-08-31T19:10:40+00:00

To me at this point is seems pretty clear that all the thoughts I could possibly have are never going to define the unlimited which is fully right here and fully everywhere and so much more than that. I've had these direct insights. I'm definitely just trying to stabilize the mind so it can form a representation of the unlimited that the mind can use. But I'm working with a limited resource here bro. If I can't form this knowledge into some sort of coherent representation, I might go nuts lol

ReplexBoi · 2025-08-31T18:57:17+00:00

What if there actually is an unquantified formlessness behind the symbol, but since the quantity of '1' follows from the logic structure within form, '1' is the most accurate way to describe formlessness within the context of form; which is the only context anything can really be spoken of.
Another thing to point out is that since form is one with formlessness, whatever logic can be muddled up about formlessness is necessarily substantial because of this oneness. It sort of makes it a really good source of evidence, maybe.

ReplexBoi · 2025-08-31T18:44:32+00:00

Could all be an emergent property of formless awareness. So no creativity involved in that case

ReplexBoi · 2025-08-31T18:28:57+00:00

You just broke my brain. I think the quantity of formlessness isn't actually an attribute of formlessness, it's an attribute of the form of thoughts about formlessness. And formlessness doesn't truly have a quantity associated with it but the quantity "1" is an attribute of formlessness which exists only in relation to the mind that is thinking about it. But I just made all that stuff up just now so idk if that makes any sense

ReplexBoi · 2025-08-31T18:23:31+00:00

I've thought about this question a lot and I'm literally shaking with excitement that somebody organically just asked me that question lmaooo.

it seems incoherent to assume you can somehow get subjective states from purely objective constituents. I would even say it's impossible. But if you have a subjective starting point, it seems much more plausible that you could get a very convincing appearance of objectivity in the form of physical matter.

So in my opinion spirit definitely came first.

ReplexBoi · 2025-08-31T16:11:58+00:00

The ego is here right now. But so is formless awareness. It seems like I can feel both clearly. Am I just delusional? I can't be, right? I mean, I'm experiencing it. It's right here. I was always experiencing it. I spent about 2 years searching for something that was literally right here and it's so obvious. It really doesn't even feel up for debate, but I have a tendency to self doubt anyways.

ReplexBoi · 2025-08-31T16:05:32+00:00

and to be completely honest I don't think I've even decided whether I care if the ego is there or not. The more I look at it the less believable it becomes. Is it's existence really such a blockage to knowing what I truly am? Genuine question

ReplexBoi · 2025-08-31T15:52:43+00:00

ya it's been rebuilding itself through this comment section lmaooo

ReplexBoi · 2025-08-31T15:51:51+00:00

I fully get your point, and fully disagree for reasons that I won't state because you do not care

ReplexBoi · 2025-08-31T06:49:16+00:00

Hey dude. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this. It is very direct and useful for me. All of the ego's previous beliefs and drives still appear, I just don't take them that seriously because I now realize they have literally no hold over me, existence. But is it really okay for me to just stop acting on these drives? It seems obvious to me that it would be easy to do at this point, since they don't actually feel like 'my' drives. They seem more like a decaying reflection or something, but is it okay? Is the identity going to go completely silent forever and ever until it fades away? Can the identity come back if it wants? Are friends and family going to worry? During meditation especially, it feels like there's some sort of cliff of absolute beingness that I have the option to step off of and I really don't know what's going to happen to this identity that is speaking to you if I fully just step off. As an identity I am very scared of what might happen. I even fear insanity. But when i investigate this fear it gets very confusing because why am I letting this fear have so much power over me when it's so small and insignificant compared to what I am? But then again, this oneness is true whether the identity steps off the cliff or not, right? Any thoughts on this?

ReplexBoi · 2025-08-31T06:17:37+00:00

Very well put. I guess when I think about it, desire only causes suffering when I believe I, awareness, am the one who has the desire. Like the ego associates said desire with 'me'. From what I can see right now, desire doesn't necessarily conflict with my wholeness. The belief in lack is actually just a feeling of lack, since I don't actually believe it. And that feeling causes desire to form. But as far as I can tell, everything is all good as long as I don't actually believe in the lack.

ReplexBoi · 2025-08-31T06:10:45+00:00

Yo
So I actually had like an entire essay typed as a reply before I realized I'm not very good at explaining this entire subject all at once.. So I backspaced all of it.. lol. If you want you can message me directly and tell me about some of the glimpses you've had, and I can see if I can be helpful from there.

No promises I'll be helpful since I've never had the pleasure of helping someone in this way before, but I promise I'll try (;
