Seeing this with you Sandy, seems so strange that most scientists want to 'explain' awareness as a 'by-product' of matter complexity ... when matter becomes complex enough, then it becomes what they call 'life' ... and awareness appears with life ...SandyJoy wrote:It just seems so simple to me, as it does to a few others here; you cannot have matter 'create' the Awareness of 'matter"--- You must have Awareness first in order to be aware of 'a brain' or 'things'. This is almost silly, but it seems some cannot grasp this notion at all.
If you will notice, Awareness is not subject to time and matter is. If you will notice, Awareness is not some "thing" we can own or control or get our hands on "matter" we can hold and mold, This means Awareness reigns supreme and free from 'slavery' , or harm, or damage---
It seems almost stupid to think like that, but it is the dominant idea in scientific circles ...
The reason behind this belief comes from the erroneous identification with the body, as materialist scientists think they ARE their body, they imagine that awareness is 'contained' somewhere in the body (somewhere in the brain probably) ... they don't realize that awareness is quite independant from matter, as you said it well ...
