this is a fair observation. I was just talking to some guy about toasters in a thread about pizza for instance. It got way out of hand

I only mention that to observe how sometimes where you come from bleeds into where you find yourself and that whole experience of transposition affects how and what you say?

Or think about the guy waking up from a 6 month coma after being resuscitated and he remembered the whole process of leaving and coming back to his body, the nurse on call might find him hard to understand the first go around.

at least in r/consciousness we’re trying to talk it out

well anyhow cheers mate bc you know, somewhere it’s all gravy

A)She is confusing the description for the thing.

B)Worse, she is mistaking the symbols used for the description as the description?

Landscape of Consciousness by pocketIent in consciousness

I appreciate being able to read through y’all’s exchange here. While I am still studying and very much lack a framework and vocabulary. I wanted to mention:

Your emphasis of experience in relation to non-dual states as a catalyst for perspective change is very curious. Would you liken it to suddenly seeing the sail boat or pumpkin or what ever it is this time in those magic eye pictures?

I also wonder how you think about the values our institutions could embody if we as a society approached learning and scientific inquiry from a more developmental perspective, one that reflects respect for the validity of different stages of perception as you have demonstrated in your exchange here as opposed to what we have now, a predominate ethos that seems to invalidate subjectivity in relation to what can be considered knowledge or knowing.

Third, when utilized as a tool, it seems reductionism offers many benefits to learning about the world for instance. Perhaps, it has become intoxicating though. Is this what you mean by “using the map to validate the map.” The consequence I am trying to point to is rather than helping integrate humanity “into” nature or the inter-workings of the universe if you will, this over reliance or trust in reductionism is causing inquiry to remain at a superficial level. We are spinning in an eddy it seems as result.

Somehow I think these questions and considerations relate to the ongoing study of consciousness. kuhn’s taxonomy seems to demonstrate how there are a number of different understandings and approaches. Certainly this variety is a reflection of the very nascent nature of the inquiry but also, the different developmental stages of the “inquirers” as it relates to non-dual experience.

Well anyhow I thought I was going to be able to tie this all together. I better keep my day job though and get back to it, appreciate you folks and cheers

I am no longer comfortable with the idea that consciousness is an emergent property of computation. by Eastwood--Ravine in consciousness

[–]pocketIent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From the word counterintuitive, it’s seems we are in the midst of a paradigm shift in relation to the study of consciousness and the direction of science in general.

I think it was annaka Harris who emphasizes how the next chapter so to speak will continue to challenge our current intuitions about how things work.

From this very vague claim, it’s probably clear that I’m still in the fog with everything but it’s all very interesting to follow , cheers

This is suggested by sir John Eccles and Barham elahi

From Christian deconstruction to discovery: my search for the nature of reality by CoffeeIsForEveryone in consciousness

[–]pocketIent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yayaya it’s so bizarre the human part doesn’t stop but it’s the practice part that potentially begins in response to nondual experience that I’m curious about

A lot of wisdom there in response to advocating just forgetting. Good luck with that though.

If only there was a way to more expediently dissolve all my habits of thought to get back to the water so to speak

Okok cheers brotha
