'The whole world is a hallucination produced by our brains, and if we don’t go beyond the mind and don’t see a crystal-clear stream of universal consciousness, we won’t have a reason to argue about reality itself, since we won’t be right from the very beginning.'
i do not agree.
Mystery is mystery.
We do not know even how we perceive
Jeremy Narby - Biospheric TV
So we cannot say ' the world we see is an hallucination produced from our brains'. It is more--for me--the world is UNUTTERABLY real, and its depths of mystery are eternally depthLESS. This means that there never can be ever ever the fathoming of mystery.
LOL, this is why the concept and actuality of 'darkness' has freaked out the patriarchal mindsets for millennia. Because the pseudo-rational mind (rational function which identifies with its self and judges its organismic host and 'the unconscious, and nature as inferior, and/or chaos/danger) wants 'light', wants to 'know everything', and wants 'eventually' to know the *unknown' which is a contradiction. This mindset cannot rest easy with mystery as being in itself reality DEEPLY underlying its knowyness~~~
Consciousness still remains a riddle, thanks for the big and detailed comment of @julianoneill, I don't say that the secret will remain a secret, I believe that we can learn completely it and even to worry on the experience, more deep to use the mind, etc. therefore it is necessary to see these questions impartially and to study them, to research
And then it will become far simpler, and it is necessary to remember - almost all knowledge it is just theories, and theories can be close to the truth, but aren't it
consciousness is an emergent property of a sufficiently complex network.
