Orb Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Great video. Consciousness in the way it's being explained here seems to be synonymous with the Lens analogy shared by Phil. Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation. I seek no state of enlightenment. Neither do I remain where no enlightenment exists. Since I linger in neither condition, eyes cannot see me. If hundreds of birds strew my path with flowers, such praise would be meaningless." - A Comment on the 8th Ox Herding Picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Awesome. The lens isn’t an analogy btw. A magnifying glass is analogous. The lens is what seems often conceptualized as peripheral vision or a my face. Quote Mention YouTube Website Sessions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lens is what seems often conceptualized as peripheral vision or a my face. In my experience I'd say it's a concentrated sense of "knowing". And it appears as thought. It's quite blissful at times. Like I can zoom in on the thoughts arising sometimes and just feel the substance it's made of. Essentially experiencing the lens without bubbles.
