There are people who claim to be consciousness but they don’t even feel what they feel, don’t even hear what they hear, don’t even see what they see, don’t even taste what they taste, and don’t even smell what they smell.
They deny the body, and how on earth are they supposed to be here and now?
Is not the ocean equal to its contents?
Can the ocean deny the fish or the fish the ocean?
Glorifying consciousness itself or pigeonholing the brain helps no one.
Science cannot prove anything beyond its sight. And knowledge is always relative, never 100% complete. Because when do you know everything about everything?
But how much knowledge do you need when a light comes on in the darkness of your life?
When you awaken, all knowledge turns out to be superfluous. I am not talking about practical knowledge: for example, how to drive a car.
Therefore, true self-knowledge is not another person’s business but your own.
When the light comes on, who cares…?
The Buddha said: If you are hit by a poisoned arrow, you are not going to think about who shot the arrow, what wood the arrow is made of, how the arrow hit me, and what bird the arrow feathers came from. You are going to focus on the poison and the antidote.
But people are trying to make a science of consciousness and until then they live in darkness.
You don’t have to understand everything about electricity to flip a light switch.
And you don’t have to study the finger that points to the moon.
Jiddu Krishnamurti said at the end of his life that no one had understood him. Had it all been just entertainment, his presence?
All that esoteric knowledge, all that traditional philosophy, all that psychology, all that knowledge of others can get in the way of you seeing what you should and can see. Directly and without any doubt.

You could call life “Brahman.
Because it has no beginning and no end. You cannot say that life is only that and not that or this, because life includes everything (and nothing).
Life also represents consciousness but also includes matter.
Consciousness and matter are not the same thing. Consciousness is not subject to matter. But consciousness is equal to its content, matter. Consciousness does not exist separate or apart from life.
Life did not create life but there is life, change, in life.
Life on the one hand is nothing at all, beyond any representation and yet it is there. And you are It.
Life did not make consciousness and/or matter but it encompasses it. However, life does not exist anywhere separate, apart, and yet it is more than consciousness alone.
I am consciousness, I am the immortal, infinite.
I am human, the person, I am mortal, changeable, limited.
I am life which is everything and nothing.
I am the world that I perceive.
There is no separate self.
You cannot avoid life.
People cling to the idea of consciousness as the only reality, other people do so with love.
But clinging is a reference to fear, fear of death, the end of your existence.
But there is no self and life, there is only life, that which you perceive, and life in reality has no beginning and end. It does know change, in its infinity of existence. But life is life and you are that.
But as I-and-life you have gone in search of something to hold on to! Eternity in terms such as consciousness, love, God, etc.
But in that lies only ignorance and fear.
Yes, you are consciousness and love but also that which is mortal and limited. You are the world that you perceive. The observer and the perceived are not two but one and the same. There is no fear in that, there is no inner conflict.
Yes, you are everything.
