What, physically as well as intellectually?

We think we enact things. Do things. Choose things...but in reality those things choose us just as much as we choose them...if not more so.

I doubt if anything would choose you.

Each fold of our reality is static

I suppose you know what that's supposed to mean.

Consciousness - Eternal to man.

As it's highly unlikely that man will turn out to be eternal neither will his consciousness.

.



I think the point of this thread could be interpreted as consciousness as far as individuals is concerned is irrelevant. Consciousness as a whole is eternal...or perceived by man to be eternal.

Consciousness is Plato's light in the cave that casts the shadows. The shadows that we perceived to be real...yet are not.

Thank you fellow shadow...fellow no-man in a world of shadows...

Now you've wrong footed me. I hadn't realised there was a point to this thread.

...it's not necessary that you see a point to this thread...or any other...it's not even important that you see a point to life. That's just the way it is.


When I suggested that there may be a point to this thread - there may not be also. Take what you will from this rich cornucopia of wisdom.



You're welcome!

Thanks but I won't come in, if it's all the same to you.
