    Awareness is known by awareness alone.

      Conciousness as concious of nothing but itsself is a contradiction in terms

    Awareness is the only constant of all experience what could be more fundamental to reality than that?

      That of which conciousness is aware.

      Awareness is known by awareness alone; is the sole irreducible axiom of reality. To put forth a syllable to the contrary is but to concede.

      Existence is primary. What you are saying is akin to "molecules do not exist without microscopes" or "microscopes cause molecules to exist".

      What existence is awareness a aware of?

  • @bretnetherton9273
    @bretnetherton9273 Год назад

    If existence exist as SOMETHING what is that something and if existence exist as ALL THINGS what knows all things?

    • @luukzwart115
      @luukzwart115 Год назад

      Nothing knows all things. What made you ask that question?

      Awareness is the very fabric of reality. When one see's an apple that is awareness as an apple. Awareness appears as an existence in the form of finite perceptions. Reality by definition is a tautology and can only be expressed gramatically as such i.e awareness is known by awareness alone. Awareness implies self awareness, unself awareness is a contradiction in terms.

      @@luukzwart115 hi ..well I understand it as treating a ,let's say any action or a " something" ...even a series or sequence of numbers in geometric or arithmetical into an unknown forward or backward progression as an entity...I think it will solve my issue from getting from 1 to 2...but I'm waiting for Dr. Peikoff OPAR book , I might be off topic and wrong completely . ..but in an "acorn's nut shell" ..that's why
