The Unseen, Unfelt, and Unquantifiable: An Exploration of Consciousness and Reality
Introduction
What is something that has never been seen or touched?
One such answer is the entity of conscience, which is beyond our physical senses but undeniable and intensely intimate. This article will delve into the mysteries of thoughts, memory, and consciousness, and how these three interrelated concepts form the foundation of our reality.
Unseen and Unfelt
The question posed is pertinent and intriguing. Thoughts, in particular, are a phenomenon that defy our ability to see or touch them. Yet, thoughts are an integral part of our daily lives, often shaping our actions, emotions, and perceptions. They are not tangible, yet they are undeniable, intensely intimate, and axiomatic.
Thoughts and Memory
Thoughts are the recall function of memory. We do not have a clear understanding of what thoughts are made of or how they emerge spontaneously from the vast repository of information stored in our memory. Similarly, we cannot provide proof or corroboration for our thoughts. They are abstract entities that are beyond the reach of our five senses.
Consciousness: The Perceiving Subject
What perceives these thoughts and memories? This formless awareness is what we refer to as consciousness. Consciousness is a non-materialistic phenomenon that does not recognize any limiting boundaries or location. It includes the entire field of perception and by logical extension, the entire creation as one seamless hologram.
The Reality of Perception
Perception is a complex and subjective process. We perceive the world through our senses, but the reality is not always as we perceive it. Take, for example, the concept of a bright blue sky. We all see a bright blue sky during the daytime, and this sensation is undeniable. However, our intelligence knows very well that the blue sky is non-existent in the absolute sense. Color is a sensation, a reaction of our body/brain to a certain wavelength of the electromagnetic wave.
The Illusion of Reality
Our five senses do not accurately convey the true nature of the world. Each perception is a subjective interpretation. Sound, smell, taste, and touch are also our body/brain's reactions to various stimuli. They are not solid or tangible things outside of us. When we see a blinding flash of lightning followed by a loud roar of thunder, both are events that occur within our consciousness.
The Holistic Perception
The cosmos as we perceive it is a holographic representation of our consciousness. When we take away the five senses from the cosmos, what is left? The cosmos is in our head! Consciousness contains the entire creation as a seamless hologram, making it a phenomenon that is beyond our physical realm.
Conclusion
In conclusion, thoughts, memory, and consciousness are the most intimate realities that form the foundation of our understanding of reality. Without them, there would be no exploration into the mysteries of creation. Our perceptions are a reflection of our consciousness, and the cosmos as we know it is a product of our subjective interpretation. Make your own investigation, and you may uncover the many layers of our reality.
