Episode notes
Only Awareness Knows
- Only awareness can know that there is awareness, and objects appearing within awareness are not themselves aware.
- Thoughts and perceptions are objects in awareness, not separate knowing entities.
Dream Analogy For Mind And World
- A dreamed world and its objects are the activity of the dreamer's mind and appear incentient to the dreamed character.
- Waking shows those dreamed objects were made of pure knowing, though they did not seem conscious in the dream.
Cultural Blind Spot About Consciousness
- The common cultural assumption is that the body generates awareness, but this is an unexamined presumption.
- This belief shapes science and identity without investigating the fundamental nature of knowing.
