The Awaresss Principle versus Accepted Presuppositions




 


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’.


THE AWARENESS PRINCIPLE


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.
