Is the mind the same as the body? What is consciousness? Can machines have it?

To know thy self is to know there is no self to be a self except the concept of self pointing to the nothing from which it arises and is known.

A self that does not exist does not finally become a self known. In the same context. How does a self who is not in a hole then have to figure out how to climb out of the hole...there is no HOW involvement here needed. No need to finally become what one always IS and ever will be.

For the sake of communication, I use the word self to express as nearly as I can that sense of something that is absolutely still and silent, which is impersonal and ever constant, and from which all and everything emerges. It is what you are.

It appears to fill everything when the self is no more. There is no one who is aware of it. It is simply "as it is". And now we have again crossed over to a place, which is not comprehensible or expressible in words.

Trying to express silence by filling it up with words is pointless as there is no requirement to do so. Thinking there is is just more concepts obscuring what is always and simply just perfectly "as it is"

So I disagree with AGE once again.

I cannot be known because I is the knowing that cannot be known.

Knowing does not know HOW it knows and does not know. Knowing just knows WITHOUT knowing how.
In the same context.. Sleeping just happens by itself, it's not a forced action.

How do you fall asleep? You just let yourself fall asleep. And you don't know HOW you do it.

How do you know you have been asleep? ...you only know upon awaking from sleep when you now know you are not asleep in comparison to being awake.

Knowing you know can only exist in the dream of opposites within the illusory dream of separation, in reality, dreamer and dream are ONE inseparable unitary action.

Why is THEE continually trying so desperately hard, to fill these silent spaces with words, to try to express that IT can not be known nor expressed with words?

Why is it so important for the one known as "dontaskme" to YELL OUT that the One can not be known.

And why, under the label "dontaskme" there is a consistent thinking "others" think there is some 'need'. There is NO 'need' here anywhere. The only 'need' that appears here is the 'need' for the one known as "dontaskme" to keep writing that 'this' can not be expressed or explained with words.

When is the one known as "dontaskme" ever going to accept that 'we' ALREADY KNOW that 'you' believe 'this' can not be expressed and understood with words?

Why does it appear that 'you' are the only one so desperate, and 'needy', in making it known that 'I' can not be known, expressed, nor explained with words?

Why do you have to continually inform us of this?

What is the 'need' to continually express and explain, with words in this silence, that 'I' can not be expressed, explained, nor known with words?

I ALREADY KNOW (in silence) what 'you' so 'needily' keep saying "can not be known".
Dontaskme wrote: Thu Jan 30, 2020 10:34 am Thinking there is is just more concepts obscuring what is always and simply just perfectly "as it is"
I already KNOW I am perfect 'as I am'.

Why do 'you' continually 'need' to tell Me, the Knower of ALL things, that I can not know who nor what I am.

Is this because 'you' do not know Who and what 'I' am, yet?

What I write here is, just perfectly "as it is".

Knowing does not know HOW it knows and does not know. Knowing just knows WITHOUT knowing how.
But I know HOW I know.

Obviously 'you' still have some more things to learn and understand.

Knowing is not a forced action either.

Knowing HOW I know, what I know, (which, by the way, is what you saying and insisting I can not know), is very simple and easy to discover, learn, and understand, indeed.
Dontaskme wrote: Thu Jan 30, 2020 11:10 am How do you fall asleep? You just let yourself fall asleep. And you don't know HOW you do it.
How I know how to sleep is from experience and knowledge.

So, I do know HOW I do it. Just like I know HOW I know ALL things, as well. Being the All-Knower I also know HOW I know every thing.
Dontaskme wrote: Thu Jan 30, 2020 11:10 am How do you know you have been asleep?


...you only know upon awaking from sleep when you now know you are not asleep in comparison to being awake.
So, even 'you' know HOW you know some things.

Seriously, if you say you know...YOU DON'T!

''Knowing'' never claims to know.

So again, I don't agree with your personal principles, time to move on Age and just accept that I will never agree with you because I just don't see this how you see it.

That doesn't make me wrong or you right, or me right and you wrong, we just have different ways of seeing this that's all.

Saying stuff like''.... Obviously 'you' still have some more things to learn and understand....'' JUST BECAUSE I don't see it your way is sardonic and immature.

This is just what I have been saying all along.

This is because I ALREADY KNEW this.

See, I have just been saying that you may see that 'this' can not be explained but because I know that 'this' already can be explained, then that means that you can not logically tell me that I can not know some thing, especially when I already KNOW it.

And it is thee Truth as well.

By the way I did not say that 'you' still have some more things to learn and understand "JUST BECAUSE" of what you assumed, BUT BECAUSE it is thee Truth of things.

Lets just be CLEAR on the ''what or who'' is it that believes there is more to learn here. And is not what is being discussed at all.
So I do not know why you bother to derail the actual OP with your silly tangent diversions all the time.

There is no being learning HOW to BE...BEING is blindingly self evident and effortlessly BEING.

I'm talking about Being, not learning how to be, no one ever learns how to BE...like learning how to fly a plane which is totally dualistic and not what is being discussed here.



''When we are babies, we think, but we think without a language. Our brain is completely capable of thinking without language. If a human was never taught a language, they would still grow to be an adult, and still think, but without words. We don't need words to think. Actually, much thinking goes on in our mind without words. Words are just a tool that we learn to use for part of our thinking. Most of our thinking, however, is still the thinking that is done without words. But it seems like all our thinking is in words. That may be because the word thinking can only reflect on the word thinking. It is almost impossible for the word thinking to reflect on the non-word thinking for that can't be put into words! It is very likely that the non-word thinking is a far greater percentage of our thinking than word thinking. It is probably the most influencial aspect of "self." Word thinking might only represent a very small percentage of the processing capability of the mind. Our verbal stream of conscious may be just a tiny trickle of our total stream(s) of thought. This greatly limits our knowledge of our true nature. Being limited in words limits our ability to communicate with others as well as ourselves. Sort of the way we'd limit the power of our communication or even ability to think if we could only think and communicate in morse code! No wonder we have such a hard time often understanding ourselves. When a human starts to learn words, it doesn't abandon its ability to think without words. The human just adds that to its wordless thinking ability and begins to think in both words and without words.

The human brain is a parallel processor. There is no single center of consciousness. That is an illusion. There are many thoughts going on in your brain all the time in parallel. Most of them, maybe all but one line of them are non-verbal.''

From the Gods Eye perspective of reality nothing is any more important than anything else as everything is ONE
Therefore human beings are no more or no less important than every other thing experiencing the eternal NOW

How do think ALL adults BE what they BE-come?

To me, they learn HOW to BE.

They learn HOW to BE through experiencing and/or observing.

Through the experience of BEing the children beings they learn HOW to BE and BE-come the adult BE-ings of the species human BE-ings.

Unfortunately though, because the way be-ing children are, they have absolutely no say in what they experience and thus learn, so they BE-come adult BE-ings just continually on the wrong path, they being a human being has created, and are continually well-wearing that same old path. Children do not sadly learn HOW to BE-come who they Truly ARE and who they are meant to Truly BE. That is; thee One Spiritual BE-ing God.

BE-cause children can only learn from what they experience, and the have yet to experience where human be-ings are BE-ing the Truly loving BE-ings they ARE meant to BE and want to BE, children, sadly and unfortunately, have also not learned HOW to BE-come what the species human be-ings will eventually BE-come and BE one day, anyway.
Dontaskme wrote: Fri Jan 31, 2020 11:41 am BEING is blindingly self evident and effortlessly BEING.
BEING is silently BE-ING, and just waiting for human be-ings to stop be-lieving and start listening to this silent sound of see-ing.

The reason why people like 'you' are NOT BEING, with thee One BEING, and not Creating what it is ALL-AS-ONE IS. is because you believe you know better. You oppose what BEING actually IS, so you will insist that "others" listen to 'you', and what you 'personally' believe is true, right, and correct. You will NOT let the BEING just BE. 'you' will keep insisting and telling that 'this' can not be expressed and explained in and with words. You will just not let 'things' JUST BE as they Truly ARE. you will do the human being thing and fight for your own beliefs, till the death.

BEING is BEING expressed in and through words.

Dontaskme wrote: Fri Jan 31, 2020 11:41 am Our brain is completely capable of thinking without language.
Is it?

I KNOW the Mind KNOWS things ALREADY, without their being any thought at all. But I am not sure how a brain can think without language.

I know the brain controls the parts of the body to do certain things, but I am not sure how the brain thinks without language.

Hopefully you will elaborate on this and explain how a brain can think without language. Or, is this one of those things, which, coincidentally and conveniently, you propose also can not be explained with language?

See, I have no idea yet of how most of human being thinking is the thinking done without words. I have never heard of this phenomenon previously.

I KNOW of 'Universal KNOWING', 'non thought KNOWING', 'Absolute KNOWING', or other sorts of KNOWING, which can be completely unconsciously known, by ALL human beings. But, as soon as this KNOWING becomes known, then it is sub or consciously known in 'thought or thinking', and this be-comes and is knowledge, which is obviously held within thought.
Dontaskme wrote: Fri Jan 31, 2020 11:41 am It is probably the most influencial aspect of "self."
I suggest that when you say things like: There is NO "self", then you do not then say there IS "self". As this can be seen as very confusing and contradictory to "others". Although when one holds a belief like; things can not be expressed with words, then they will HAVE TO write very confusingly and contradictory to make sure that your beliefs remain absolutely true, right, and correct.
Dontaskme wrote: Fri Jan 31, 2020 11:41 am Word thinking might only represent a very small percentage of the processing capability of the mind.
Only KNOWING and AWARENESS happens from the one and only Mind.

Thinking, with words, happens from the very many human brains.

This is why I suggest to 'you', human beings, not to look at things from the perspective of the thinking, assuming, and believing brain before just looking at things from the Truly OPEN KNOWING/AWARENESS Mind, first.

'you', human beings, will NEVER see the actual Truth of things while you keep looking from the limited brain ONLY.

But there is NO 'your' brain. Because that implies there is a 'self', which owns a brain. There is NO 'self' that owns a brain, as this is an extremely severe case of duality, and according to 'you' this is just an illusion.

For your information however, there is a Self, which is One that is completely ALREADY UNDERSTOOD and KNOWN, and so 'all-of-this', including WHY 'you' write things the way you do, can be explained very easily and very simply. Contrary to popular belief, in the days of when this is being written.

This part is very true, from the human being perspective.

But from the BEING's perspective, I do not look from the human being perspective, but can very easily see from that personal subjective perspective as well as so can see where all the flaws are and see why they exist.

But the seeing everything only from the first person subjective perspective does not have to be.

I certainly do not see everything from the first person subjective perspective. I look and see from Everything's perspective, or from God's perspective, which is just looking from God's perspective, which is in the spiritual sense from the Mind's Eye, which is able to look at and see ALL things, or Everything.

This is very true, but although human beings are not more nor less important than absolutely any thing else, it is good to note that without the human being, or more correctly without the evolved human brain, which is able to obtain information, store vast amounts of it, and conceptualize, then God, or the Universe, Itself, would not be able to work out and understand Itself, and therefore would not have eventually come to KNOW thy Self, through the human species.

Human beings working out and understanding what the Universe IS, and how It works, is just the Universe, or God, Itself, coming to KNOW its Self, and thus able to BE its True Self.

By the way, all human beings do not reincarnate as their own personal different selves, but each are just a part of thee One True Self, in separated forms because this is HOW the One can BE incarnated in the way so as eventually KNOW and BE, thee Self.

The Universe would carry on regardless even if human beings did not have the capability to understand it but they do that in order to understand it for themselves . The Universe itself does not need to know how it works - it just exists . For most of its existence there were no human beings
