You don't get it, do you?

This thing 'I' in you is this thing 'Consciousness' in you. And this thing 'I' in you or this thing 'Consciousness' in you is the only entity who is 'self aware' as well as 'other aware'. It is this thing 'I'' in you or this thing 'Consciousness' in you who says:- 'I exist' & 'matter' exists. Matter is neither 'self aware' nor 'other aware'. Matter needs existence of this thing 'I' in you or the existence of this thing 'Consciousness' in you for the affirmation it's existence. Remember this.

You are welcome to your opinion.

This thing 'I' in you is your true self & not your material body which is made of matter.

So should I assume that this thing 'I' in you is a monkey because you have posted picture of a monkey on my site. I feel extremely sorry for you to have conceived the idea that this thing 'I' in you is a monkey.

As regards the first paragraph of your post I would say:- You are welcome to your opinion. As regards the second paragraph I would say:- Think very very hard (I know it would be very difficult for you to do this but do you must) as to who is this thing 'I' in you who says :- " I would love for you to address the question -----------------------------------------------------exchange of ideas among an empirically based &scientifically minded population ".

You are welcome to your opinion.

Thanks for the further insight you have provided.

This thing 'I' is not limited to you only. Keep in mind, this thing 'I' is present in each & every human being.This thing 'I' runs as a thread through all the human beings. This thing 'I' will persist till the last human being is alive. Death of an individual human being does not mean the death of this thing 'I'. Remember this.

This thing 'I' will chase you wherever you go. You will not be able to escape from this thing 'I'.

You are welcome to your opinion. This thing 'I' will not disappear by the denial of it's existence.

Ask yourself :- ' Am I the body'?

You are made of matter i.e. physical body & this thing who calls himself or herself 'I'. You already know a great about the nature of matter that it is composed of quanta + space time. So let yourself explore the nature of this thing who calls himself or herself 'I'.

Ponder hard on the question as to who is saying:- " What is your point? We already know that the answer to the question of life, of universe, & of everything is 42"? Ponder, ponder,Ponder hard on this very question.

Think & ask the question :- Who is this 'I' in my physical body I.e. in my material body , who claims " This is my physical body, This is my head, This is my hand, This is my house, this is my bank account, so on & so forth ?

Ask yourself :- Who is this entity in you who calls himself 'I' & says '' once you do that I am sure we will be able to find some validity in your point, but not until''.

Issue is consciousness is the only entity who is 'self aware' as well as 'other aware'. Matter is neither 'self aware' nor 'other aware'.

Views, position & evidence:AND: Matter & consciousness:AND:Head & heart:AND:Evidences are many but absolute evidence is uncertain:AND: AND:AND:AND:-------------------------------------------------:AND.

Gulf is too big.

You are welcome to your views & position & evidence.

Man is a composite of 'head' & 'heart'. In matters of science for example there is preponderant use of 'head' on his part. In matters of love for example there is preponderant use of 'heart' on his part. This is the story of man. Evidences are many.Absolute evidence is uncertain.

'Could god be dimensionless point of consciousness & could cosmic space be the mind of god' ?:- this was the question raised.Not a claim made.

I feel uncomfortable with the concept that I have come out of matter. I feel more at ease with my this inner feeling that I have come out of consciousness.

The issue is whether consciousness has come out of matter or matter has come out of consciousness? I feel more comfortable with the idea that matter has come out of consciousness & not the other way round.
