@Leadfoot,
Consciousness has a + and - force aspect to it in my opinion.If we try to control it we are met with a counter reaction.
What I mean by this is if we attempt to bring ourselves into an in the moment state we have to maintain the concentrated effort or we are pulled back into the out of the moment state again.
There is an electrical/magnetic component to this experience in my view.
We need to try and understand what this means more fully I would say.
My view is that we are not these + and - forces.
There is a separate element to our make up which experiences these forces.
I cannot prove the existence or non existence of a God, nobody can, so I go with what is provided.AWARENESS being one thing that has been provided to us.
I am aware therefore that I can put effort in and change my consciousness state from out of the moment to in the moment state.I am also aware of a force which is always trying to pull me back out from this in the moment state.
I have come to the conclusion that I am neither of the two above mentioned consciousness states therefore. I am merely influenced by forces….consciousness forces I would say.
I would say that I am not awareness either.I am merely aware that there are two consciousness states which I have to put effort in to control if that is I wish to control these consciousness states.If I don’t put effort in then I have no chance of controlling them.
The part of me that is a aware and tries to control these two consciousness states (forces I would say) needs to be referred to as something other than consciousness or awareness therefore.
The thing is.It is not about the constant transition backwards and forwards between consciousness states that is the issue.The issue is trying to STILL this effect.Hence why I controversially reject accepted science.
I am more of a theist than an atheist I would say.However,I have an issue with this because in my view a belief in a God is no different to a unbelief in a God at a fundamental level.
There is something more in my opinion.I feel I am getting close to what that is however.
I have been able to still these consciousness state by the way but only by rejecting established scientific views as I say.I believe you know my theories.
