The metaphysics of primary consciousness, Zen, non-duality, awareness, idealism

[midniterider]

Metaphysics: an idea, doctrine, or posited reality outside of human sense perception. In modern philosophical terminology, metaphysics refers to the studies of what cannot be reached through objective studies of material reality.

 

Does anyone (that means you Weezer) have any metaphysical thoughts about consciousness being all there really is? Metaphysics is related to Zen, non-dual awareness, the Vedas, Monistic Idealism, Analytic Idealism.

 

I believe the common denominator for these different terms is that the underlying reality of everything is consciousness and you are that everything. There is no separation. 

 

See Donald Hoffman, Bernardo Kastrup and a bunch of others for more information. 

 

If there is some interest in positive progressive discussion then I'll dig up more. 

 

What are your thoughts on this topic, Weezer?

I would be more interested in this topic than remote viewing, but with warm weather coming on I will not have as much time on my hands.  Too many outside projects lined up, and I am trying to line up a group ride in Michigan in June.  HA! motorcycle rides take precident over everything!  But would try to follow anything going on here.

 

I remember when ZEN, THE ART OF MOTORCYCLE MAINTANCE came out in the 1970s.  I may get that and start reading it.  I remember it sounding interesting back then, but was still pretty involved in in church and never got around to it.
