From Dream to Insight
The Reflection of the Undivided Faculty of Perception:
This review deals with an assumption about the path of an unrealized sense faculty towards realization and this sense faculty is only intended as an assumed prerequisite which in turn must be assumed to have an ontological basis in an Absolute Existence.
Consciousness is known to go through four stages counted from the Waking state through Dream sleep to Dreamless lightsleep to Deepsleep.
When the assumed prerequisite here assumed as the sense faculty slides through these states to wakefulness, there is already a reflection of consciousness in the dream.
That reflection follows when the dream dissolves and the dream image transitions to wakefulness in the reflection of the entire context in the Universe.
During the day through life on the planet and at night from a distance as the image of the points of light in the night sky.
What is dreamed in the dream appears as consequence-free experiences, yet with relations. The dreamer can occasionally notice that it is a dream before the experience becomes wakeful.
When consciousness returns, the first step begins toward the full relational realization of the faculty of perception. Here, participation acquires real consequences, and a meaningful approach is required for engagement. When consciousness truly becomes realized, participation in the undivided foundation of being is made possible.
The reflection – the Universe as Phenomenon – can then be seen as a reflection in which the image returns the faculty of perception. Only through this returning image does experience become possible. The All emerges as the image of reality, unbroken, undivided, in one sequential context.
When an "all is one" experience occurs, it is nothing other than the experiencer realizing something that has always been Unchangingly Present.
Statements heard about the cause behind the "all is one" experience and interpretations of it may color the experience, but they do not alter the fundamental relationship.
If the experience is not anchored in something unchanging, the sense of unity fades. Language and statements can provide support, but they are never the foundation itself.
Language always works with distinctions and relations. It always relativizes experience, even when the experience itself is in an unbroken whole. Even speaking of an "undivided whole" in the presence of parts introduces separation, creating something with parts and thus leading to fragmentation.
All possibility of experience, however, relies on difference and separation. This may sound like a contradiction, but it is impossible to experience anything that is not presented or perceived as varied. It does not affect Absolute Existence in its essence.
When we speak of the Absolute, it can be understood in two ways: first, as the Absolute Existence of the Unchanging Being, and second, as its nature and essence, conceived as the faculty of perception. Both aspects are fundamentally necessary for experience to occur.
Without the faculty of perception and its existential grounding in Absolute Existence, we have no foundational condition for experience at all.
In Absolute Existence, experience cannot in itself occur, yet it is this whose faculty of perception makes possible the experience via reflection.
If and when an insight into this occurs, humans or anything else is no longer perceived as fundamentally separate; everything returns to the undivided. Everything becomes one again, in the assumption of an Absolute Existence and that is why the universe can be assumed as a necessity for the realization of consciousness according to the assumption of the Absolute Existence philosophy.
Concept
- Unrealized perception in dreamless sleep
- Consciousness as Unawareness of the dream state is called dreaming.
- Awareness of the dream state in Lucid dreaming when the mind reflects on the ongoing dream is then counted as awareness in the Dream.
- Realized perception as Consciousness in the waking real state is counted as being conscious
- Consciousness as the end product of thinking in the waking state is called awareness.
- Consciousness in the form of one's own ideas about what is to come oscillates between realistic expectations and pure daydreams.
When this happens in the evening, the transition occurs almost seamlessly to dream sleep without awareness that this is happening. So consciousness is a fluid state between dreamless sleep over dream to wakefulness and back again via ideas in a daydream-like state over to dream and then to dreamless sleep as unrealized perception.
The Faculty of Perception
The perception cannot therefore be experienced. It is the prerequisite for anything to be able to be perceived at all.
The necessary difference
Consciousness is based on sequentially varied discernment. Without difference, there is no consciousness. All difference exists in Consciousness.
If all sequentially varied discernment is removed, Consciousness is removed. Then there is nothing for the Faculty of Perception to perceive.
Therefore, the Faculty of Perception can only be realized as consciousness through sequentially varied discernment.
As long as the sequentially varied difference continues, the Faculty of Perception can use it as consciousness to enter and exit – and thus literally enter and exit – consciousness.
The Faculty of Perception can enter consciousness and lose contact with consciousness through separate portals for this. Then the discernible, distinct portals to consciousness must operate through different bodies in the universe that are manifested for reflection of consciousness for the Faculty of Perception.
Consciousness and its contents
Consciousness is thus not the same as memory. Memory exists in consciousness.
It is possible to lose memory without losing consciousness.
Speech exists in consciousness.
One can lose the ability to speak without losing consciousness.
Thinking exists in consciousness.
Thinking can turn into dreaming without consciousness being lost.
Dreams exist in consciousness without consciousness being lost, even in so-called lucid dreaming.
Deep sleep, on the other hand, is not in direct contact with consciousness. There, the capacity for perception in that portal only has indirect contact with consciousness, which, however, occurs sequentially throughout the entire sequentially manifested and materialized universe.
During the state of deep sleep, the individual portals in consciousness recover and build up what is necessary for the possible reactivation of the capacity for perception.
In deep sleep, there is no difference for the faculty of perception to perceive in the form of memories.
The four stages
The difference and the first state of consciousness is dreamless sleep.
The second stage is dreamless lightsleep.
The third stage is dream sleep.
The fourth stage is wakefulness, and this is a relatively stabilized state in which the conscious mind's capacity for sensation also fluctuates between thinking and daydreaming.
The faculty of perception cannot thus be experienced. It is the prerequisite for anything to be capable of being sensed at all.
The faculty of perception is therefore not only an assumption about an ability but also an assumption about an Absolute Existence at the base, which is the unchangingly enduring Being that the faculty of perception is the inherent nature of.
Thinking and processing of information during sleep.
Information about reality is carried in the brain during sleep in the form of dreams. During the day we can also dream when daydreams occupy our mind rather than thinking about reality. And if reality then disturbs the daydream, we may be upset if we don't want to know the awkward reality.
The difference between daydreaming and thinking about reality is then that in daydreams we do not suffer from the consequence of reality in the same tangible way as in reality itself. Therefore, daydreams can be nicer than reality and even live in someone else's imagination in the way we do in the form of storytelling in books and movies. This is such an entertaining escape from the reality we cannot escape from because the consequence of life can not cause the special psychic suffering for humans that we cannot detect in other species.
This suffering of reality is dealt with in several different ways, from associating with non-linguistically verbal beings, focusing on special interests, or shielding reality as a direct experience of it. In the worst case, the reality memories are deafened with medical means to obtain relaxation from it even in the waking state.
What then about philosophical thinking? The philosophical way of thinking is not as appealing in general as daydreams are. Especially if the thinking goes against everything that is most valuable to us as our own personal image of ourselves. Nothing is so dear to us as this.
And since this is sensed purely instinctively, everyone reacts almost at once through counterval's argument or avoids the subject completely. That is why it is almost completely impossible to invite someone to even try to test the assumption that is being sought in the absolute philosophy of existence. No one is therefore interested in shifting the focus from themselves to phenomenal reality.
Summary
The capacity for perception cannot, therefore, be experienced. It is the prerequisite for anything to be perceivable at all.
The capacity for perception is thus not only an assumption of an ability but also an assumption of an Absolute Existence at the base, as the unchanging enduring Being, of which the faculty of perception is the inherent nature.
