Self? Or Mind
Created from nothing, consisting of nothing — yet the one thing that can witness everything. Descartes, dependent origination, qualia, and the eternal observer.
Cogito Ergo Sum defines witness seeking discovery for our self, opening the dimensionless awareness in fabric of spacetime, as HERE and NOW. Here rules our consciousness, which is neither memory nor imagination, but a real comprehensible fulcrum point, the truth center between dynamic unknown infinities.
Every scale of existence is codependent in emergence. Just its cause and effects are labelled differently. Observer and observed coexist. Unable to relate with our ignorance we falsely seek definitions for qualia, feelings or thoughts.
This mystery dissolves itself, as we zoom attention outwards, riding our intuitions. Tearing through masked illusion where infinite appears finite, called Maya. As we try to focus on our own sense experiences deeply, Neti-Neti dissects everything apart, and we now arrive at Anitya and Anatta insights.
Entropy in science and Time arrow pointer decides the fate of our observed existence. But life process fights against entropy till its end into death. Purnam philosophy rescues to introduce our immortal self in infinite equation of cosmos. From the infinite outer, infinite flows out, and yet infinite remains. Mathematicians too agree!
Memory defines our fight against entropy. We exist, thrive, and think, but again we fall into illusion of ego, building multiple layers around true self.
Life process is likely organized at biological, neural and experiential resolutions. But here lies the radical impermanence, Maya. Under the veil of this Samsara wheel of cyclical emergence, call it mandala, chakra or attractors, where creative energy urges through Time, Kaal purusha, cycles expansion, subsistence, harmonization and release.
Emergence at different scales in life process finally creates consciousness at the crown, which can rediscover the real nature of self, cutting through the flux of unreal mind, ego, fear and desire, and IDAM returns to IDAH...!
