ACCEPTED PRESUPPOSITION
Reality, truth and true scientific
knowledge is objective.
THE AWARENESS PRINCIPLE
Reality, truth, and true scientific
knowledge is subjective.
ACCEPTED PRESUPPOSITION
The starting point of science and
the most basic scientific ‘fact’ is the objective existence of a universe of
bodies in space-time.
THE AWARENESS PRINCIPLE
The most basic scientific fact is
an awareness of a universe of bodies in space and time.
ACCEPTED PRESUPPOSITION
Space and time are objective
dimensions of reality in which things ‘exist’.
THE
AWARENESS PRINCIPLE
Space and time are subjective
dimensions of awareness.
ACCEPTED PRESUPPOSITION
The universe is composed of units
of matter and energy.
THE AWARENESS PRINCIPLE
The universe is composed of
awareness. Energy is the materialisation of awareness.
ACCEPTED
PRESUPPOSITION
Awareness or ‘subjectivity’ is
something ‘owned’ - the private property of an ego or ‘I’, being or person,
self or ‘subject’.
Awareness
is not something we ‘own’, not the private property of beings, persons, selves
or subjects. Instead it is the very source of all individualised beings and all
localised subjects.
ACCEPTED
PRESUPPOSITION
Awareness is an emergent property
or evolutionary by-product of an unaware matter and energy and a property or
‘function’ of the body.
THE
AWARENESS PRINCIPLE
Not just the human body but all
bodies are outward shapes taken by awareness in the course of its evolution.
ACCEPTED PRESUPPOSITION
Awareness is something possessed
and bounded by bodies in space, like a ‘soul’ contained within the ‘body’ and
bounded by it.
THE AWARENESS PRINCIPLE
Awareness of the world around us -
of the space surrounding our bodies and of other bodies – is not itself bounded
by our own body. The soul or psyche is not merely an inner awareness of
ourselves but embraces our entire awareness of the world around us.
ACCEPTED PRESUPPOSITION
We are our minds and bodies,
thoughts and emotions, impulses and actions, and the way we experience
ourselves through them.
THE AWARENESS PRINCIPLE
Our minds and bodies, thoughts and
emotions and sensory experience together form our experienced self. We are not
our experience or our experienced self. We are the awareness which experiences
that self.
ACCEPTED PRESUPPOSITION
Awareness is something localised in
the brain and always focussed on some object or ‘thing’.
THE
AWARENESS PRINCIPLE
Awareness is essentially non-local
– a space or field within which we come to experience things and can choose to
focus on them.
ACCEPTED PRESUPPOSITION
The mind is a mirror of the world.
THE
AWARENESS PRINCIPLE
The mind is a mirror of our
awareness of the world.
ACCEPTED PRESUPPOSITION
Subjective awareness is a mirror of
an 'objective' world.
THE
AWARENESS PRINCIPLE
The world is a mirror and a
manifestation of awareness.
ACCEPTED PRESUPPOSITION
Awareness is always awareness 'of'
something.
THE AWARENESS PRINCIPLE
Awareness as such is prior to,
distinct from and transcends all things we are aware of.
ACCEPTED PRESUPPOSITION
Awareness is the same as
‘consciousness’ of things.
THE
AWARENESS PRINCIPLE
Like empty space, awareness as such embraces, transcends and pervades everything we
are aware or ‘conscious’ of. The so-called ‘unconscious’ is not a state of
non-awareness but pure awareness - awareness as such.
ACCEPTED PRESUPPOSITION
All things – all bodies and beings - are
made up of forms and patterns of matter and energy.
THE
AWARENESS PRINCIPLE
"We are such stuff as dreams are made on."Shakespeare.
Every thing or being we are aware of is in turn composed of forms, patterns and qualities of awareness.
