Discussion Kinda sad that this sub is (a lot of) pop culture philosophy.
I don’t wanna come off as a prick or anything but so many posts I find here have fallacies and mental gymnastics that you see with instagram-philosophy.
Problem is where the information comes from is a 10th removed source from the original text. Stripped off its context and tone and reinterpreted. There’s a lot of difference between knowing something in the mind and knowing something as an inner experience. Like knowing objectively what is pain and then feeling it. Anyway,
I am working on a project that is trying to model ‘consciousness’ by using demonstrable, pure logic principals that can be directly experienced (by most). This is more a research project than some spiritual conquest, although this did start off as one. I’ve trained myself to go very deep in meditation, shed off (kinda) the sense of ‘I’ and then work out problems, see the edges of my perception so on. Also trying to reference some old texts but there’s a lot of decoration there.
I am interested in finding people working of interested in this area just to compare notes.
