Greetings Garvey I-I
"I don't let go of I physical though. I am I consciousness. I am also I body, down to every last cell atom string and brane."
No bredrin you have misunderstood, you are consciousness you are not the body. The body only exists in your mind. The body is invariably absent when the mind is in abeyance. In other words when your mind is engaged in thought or deep sleep you are not aware of your body.
"IF you chopped and removed part of I physical brain or nervous system which control dem part deh..... all grey and white matter..... that 'conscious awareness' would no longer exist."
First and foremost, there is awareness, then there is consciousness; in this consciousness there is the mind, in this mind there is the body and the world. If you cut and chop the grey matter nothing happen to the consciousness, if we were in a room together and some gun man came in and shot me dead, nothing as happened to the consciousness; otherwise you could not be there to witness it. If the consciousness was the grey matter, then to cut one would kill all. There is only one consciousness, it is not your consciousness or my consciousness; it is just one whole.
"It can't exist without the physical."
If it can't exist without the physical then how did it come to be in the first place? There must have been something there for the manifestation to have appeared. What I'm expounding here cannot be grasp by the mind, you need to realise what you are aside the mind. This self effulgent present, what is it? If three people are in a room and these three people leave; what is left is that. Now to the mind, it is incomprehensible. Similarly if I've got three cup and in two of them I put a physical object and the third I put nothing; to the mind only two of those cups have something in them, but in actuality there is something in all three. If I ask you to give me a sample of your beingness, how are you going to present it to me? You cannot simply because it is not an object in consciousness.
The problem is you take that which is inside to be outside and that which is outside to be inside . Your thoughts and feelings are external, but once you identify with the individual they become intimate. Go back to your childhood consciousness before it got contaminated. What is that childhood consciousness ? It does not know itself as anything, it is a tabula rasa; clean. There is no imprint at all until its parents start pumping information into the it. This is your name, this is your family; you live and belong here. This is your country, your nation; your tribe and so on.
"Again, a few Ixamples of the many many things that run in our physical subconscious parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems, without any higher cognition or awareness; every second all the while."
Where there is knowledge, there is its counterpart, which is ignorance.
All knowledge is superimposed on to the consciousness, true knowledge is to abide in oneself which is pure to begin with. I,I consciousness is without form, there is nobody. But the self. What is this self? It is the mind without its content. Mind without memory content is pure self. What has happened? It has move out in search of itself, it has collected all this content such as the name; family, tribe and history and mistaken it for itself. All that is nothing but memory. Once that principle prior to this birth leaves the body, all that memory content that you have amassed such as your body, family; tribe, personality and the history, all this goes into oblivion. Just like when you go into deep sleep, this person; this individual also goes into oblivion. In deep sleep there is no knowledge. You are free from all that, you are at rest; peace, consciousness bliss. There is no disturbance from the mind and it's identities. Your consciousness is like a mirror, it simply reflects that which is in front of it. To understand to the fullness you must rid yourself of all stains, individual identity and conceptualisations. Your identify rest with the consciousness alone. This world and all it's content is nothing but smoke. Turn you attention on yourself; the only reality and the world and its content will eventually disappear. You are not in this appearance at all. The subject cannot be an object in consciousness. You stand alone as pure awareness, you are only a witness. Everything you see, hear; touch, smell and taste is all illusion. In fact, from an absolute stand point there is only you in existence. The others cannot dispute this because their existence needs to be verified by you first. And when you do verify them you realise that they only
exist in your consciousness as an individual because you have identified yourself with the individual. Understand that it is not the body that has consciousness, it is the consciousness which assumes innumerable forms. There is only consciousness awareness. This consciousness you can call it whatever you like, names do not matter since they are irrelevant in the absolute.
By what light do you see? It is by the sun by day and the lamp by night. By what light do you see these lights? It is by the eye. By what light do you see the eye? It is by the mind. By what light do you see the mind? It is by the self effulgent light of awareness. That means that you are the light of all lights. This body that you identity with is limited, it is not permanent. Your true identify is that which is permanent, that which never dies and is never born, it is free of all idiosyncrasies of the body/mind nexus. Until this is understood, there can be no release from the cycle of birth and death. To be born into consciousness, is to suffer and die; to be conscious and aware is life eternal.
