I participated, with just a couple of interruptions, straight through today and I am glad to have done so. I respect the rigor I sense throughout- in, out and through the different ways of talking about these notions and their arguments. Thank you for the work, and for making this available. 🙏🏽
He seems to be saying that the objective reality that we experience via consciousness is also a mind. Can anyone explain why we can come to this conclusion? Hopefully its better than : we experience it mentally, therefore its mental too.
A rope is confounded to be a snake. This confusion causes fear. The “snake” is the interpretations, models, theories and beliefs superimposed to “what is”. The rope is “what is”. The rope is Consciousness. The snake is the measurements and the interpretations of the appearances of Consciousness. Phenomenon means “that which appears”. The root meaning of the word “maya” is "to measure". When you consider the measurements as if they were the beings and things themselves, you are living in illusion. There is only Consciousness, the Immeasurable - Brahman
The body has no life of itself. Thought has no life of itself. By themselves, they are inert. They are activated by life. Life is the only Being. What is life? What is consciousness? When activated by life, thought creates the idea "I", a simulacrum of Being. Because thought is limited, the simulacrum, the representation, is limited, insufficient. Consciousness, which is life, cannot be measured - it is infinite, unknowable. Because life is infinite, the simulacrum, by reflection, wants to be complete too. So, it goes after power, position, fortune, and all the rest of it, never reaching completeness. In this ambition, it creates division, competition, wars and destruction. In this movement of becoming, the simulacrum has continuity, with all its miseries. Do I depend on thought to be alive and conscious? Who or what am I? Can I measure who or what I am? With which instrument? Am I not the unknowable, the infinite, the timeless?
Thank you, Barnardo.

The universe of subject and objects dualities are a big lie that consciousness tells itself.
