Consciousness as Self Reflection through Double Negation
Posted: Tue Apr 21, 2020 9:54 pm
The nature of the imprintable mind is one of formlessness. It is this formlessness which receives the imprint through sensory experience or thought. An absense of an imprint is an absence of thought therefore what imprints is what manifests as thought. A thoughtless mind is that which is without form and blank. It is void.
This blank slate is self negating through self reflection; this absence of form is a point of awareness. Formlessness is negated into form where the void voids itself into a form. This first form is a circle. Being extends itself in all directions simultaneously. This circle is the projection of one's point of awareness in all directions. The act of self reflection thus is a negation of one's prior empty state into that of form.
This first form, the circle, in turn reassumes itself resulting in another circle then another circle ad infinitum until the circles act as particles within the mind's eye assembling and reassembling into newer and newer forms. These forms, as extensions of the circles they are derived from are empty as well, thus acting as patterns through which we absorb further patterns like a sieve. Patterns which align with the patterns in the minds eye are absorbed, patterns which do not align with the patterns in the mind's eye are rejected. This beginning state of acceptance and rejection of patterns results in what we call as "bias", where patterns are assumed according to their ability to align with the angle of awareness the self originates from.
The patterns, as self assuming, are negated and divided into newer patterns through a process of self assumption. This self assumption is an act of self reflection, with this self reflection as a process of self negation where the priorly formless subjective point of awareness changes into an objective form through which the subjective self operates. What is subjective is formless. What is objective is form. All consciousness, through self reflection, begins with a negation of negation thus is cyclic by nature.
