Consciousness, Its Nature & Role in Experience, A. H. Almaas

www.scienceandnonduality.com/
For Nondual teachings, consciousness is everything and the nature of everything. For scientific theories, consciousness appears at some point in the physical world, and makes experience and science possible. Science has advanced various theories to understand consciousness and where it comes from. There is no consensus at this point. At the same time, most nondual teachings view the world that science studies as illusion, or illusion like. Scientists think our
perception of it is like an illusion because it is the way our brains interpret input, but they do not agree that the world is illusion, or that their successful theories are illusion. I will explore both points of view and how there might be an interface between the two that can create a bridge between the insights of mystical experience and the findings of our science.

    Almaas is nailing this. This is it. There are many ways to experience reality. Some call it infinite probable parallel realities. True nature is changeless but reality shifts based on how you wish to experience. Just follow your own inner truth. No need to stick to labels. I so resonate with Almaas and yet my true inner teacher is the inner guidance. And i am glad to see a resonant reflection in A H Almaas.

    This is excellent. I might add that it's not just it's not two different perspectives or two types of experiences, but their methods to claims for truth (knowledge) are different. One is subjective, introspective, and looking for the source of the introversion. The other develops its knowledge, not just sitting on a chair, but *interacting* with the world. This is the way a child learns, in the body, starting to interact with objects (Piaget). Also, it's no longer enough to sit on a chair, meditate, and say one has seen the truth of "reality" ("enlightenment"), or say "all is consciousness". Neuroscientists would like to mess with the brain (electrical stimulation, anesthesia, drugs, ...) to see what effect this would have on these claims. Truth by introspection is not enough. The physical hypothesis would also need to be tested.

    Thank you; as young child could feel the flowers, drew the flowers w/energy/light surrounding, yet could not explain this in reality. Always wondered why we could not accept both sides of being in non-dual dreaming or meditation state of time travel & being on earth running around the grounds...they both exist here as eartlings!

    We are in the midst of a non-dual evolving of conscious living that will let us access the planet itself. We are at a crossroads of growth and stagnation. Who are we? Where on the great mission will we be awakened?

    One is an objective and one is a subjective experience. But as he said himself you have to respect the physical reality whether you think it is an illusion or not.

    Crystals vibrate a t higher frequency and if you are sensitive to crystal energy they can bring your awareness in to the presence. Then you can glimpse your true nature beyond thoughts and beliefs. They are mother nature's wonderful gifts to bring your awareness to beyond duality into trinity or unity consciousness.

    @@QED_ everything is connected. Since she asked the question it is relevant. You would know how crystals are relveant if you can sense crystal energy. For that you need sense your own subtle body energy. For that you need to get out conceptual reality and bring your awareness into the presence. Infact stop feeding thoughts then you will notice you are awareness and crystals can help your thoughts stream to slow down. In other words they can raise your frequency. A.H Almaas states in his website "Crystal guidance, along with the various aspects manifesting as crystals, brings about the precise and objective understanding of the nonconceptual dimension. Such understanding can be simply the recognition of the nonconceptual as the ground, but can also manifest as insight and basic knowledge." And this is So true in my direct experience. The reason i have a lot of crystal beings help me. They are pure consciousness in solid form.

    यतो वाचो निवर्तन्ते अप्राप्य मनसा सह। (words fails and thoughts return untouched). We cannot experience waking in sleep nor the world in deep sleep. Each state is different from the mental cognition. But my existing in all state is irrespective of which state I'm.

    John Browne​, Yes Everything is Consciousness. But that Consciousness which appears to be everything is different from the Self Awareness of dream and deep sleep. Because in those states one still has the awareness of multitude, in dream and absence of everything in deep sleep. In deep sleep the awareness of "Everything is Consciousness" is not there. That can happen only in waking. Because everything is only in waking. Once the Knowledge arises of the Everything-ness includes the knower, then the appearance of Everything becomes That of the same Knowledge and then duality ends there.

    The self must negate itself as the seer which it is not. Nor is it experiencing. Because it is an illusory victim.
