didn't read the wiki yet Yeah...exactly. What do you think?So in your view, consciousness is a form of awareness, let's call it self-awareness. I just read parts of the wiki article on consciousness and it is pretty interesting. It summarizes the philosophy of consciousness concisely.
Yes. Hmmm, no, let's say, I am talking about Consciousness and not consciousness. I don't know, I wouldn't say that "I am is Consciousness. It is rather the total feeling, the total...well awareness of "I am". But that's how I see it or rather how I feel about my existence.So you mean consciousness is the awareness of being conscious ? Your just talking about diferent levels of consciousness . Conssciousness is being awake , higher consciousness is the awareness that one is awake ? So being , the thought "Iam" and the awareness of what "I am implys / can mean" ?
I don't think it is physical. I think this is what is so special about consciousness is that it has no physical characteristics or boundaries.Is it physical or not?
Does it influence matter or not?
How does one go about gaining consciousness?

Ganesha a dit:People talk a lot about 'expanded consciousness', what does this signify? That we are aware of more things than usual? Or that we are more sensitive to what we are normally conscious of? What do entheogens do to consciousness if anything?
user_1919 a dit:It has to do with the weird world of quantum physics.
I don't think expanded consciousness exists
I very much agree. I had some thoughts about it... In our life, consciousness is bound to our body, it is limited to the functions of the brain, only through the brain can it express itself. But cosciousness itself is eternal, it is beyond any bodily functions. And that's what psychedelics show us.Yes, I had that too, but it is not what I meant with expanded consciousness not existing. I'm talking about a specific use of the term consciousness I described earlier, in which consciousness doesn't have dimensions. The object of consciousness might be bigger or embrace even the entire universe, but consciousness itself is still focused in one point from which you are aware of everything.
GOD a dit:It was there already and you noticed it through takeing psychedelics .
