		<description>Interesting question Chris - and probably the most important one. It all boils down to theory I guess - unless one is willing to die before death. But don't be alarmed: this has been achieved by many and they are still wandering the planet: Gangaji, Byron Katie, Eckhart Tolle just to name a few. If you want to know what exists prior to and after life, experience has to stop for a mere moment. This gives way to the obvious recognition of what truly is. When this is recognized it is also known to have existed before birth and will continue after death. As stated before. Not only do you know, you know you know. Put aside all theory and find that which knows the knowing.</description>

		<description>Thanks for this very interesting post. 
I have one question, if we cannot experience the awareness we are.
then after we die, wouldn't that be just death? 
totally blank and black, or not even that? or would it be some
sence that we still is?</description>

		<description>What is the material basis of Quantum Consciousness ?

Knowledge of Consciousness. ( A New Era: XXIc.)
Will Physics explain Consciousness?
     ===.
Our brain works on dualistic basis:
 usually consciousness (logically)  and rarely unconsciousness
 ( at first it seems  illogically but at last it shows as very wise act)  
In  book ‘ The Holographic Universe’  Michael Talbot
 on  page 160 explained this situation in such way:	
‘ Contrary to what everyone knows it is so, it may not be
 the brain that produce consciousness, but rather consciousness
 that creates the appearance of the brain ’
# 
In our terrestrial world the Information ( some basis of Consciousness)
 can be transfer to you only by Electromagnetic waves. 
Lorentz proved: there aren’t Electromagnetic waves without Electron.
Therefore I say, 
only Electron can be the Quantum of Information/ Consciousness.
We don’t have any other theory of Information’s transfers.
#
We know the Electron is very important particle in our live.
It acts in Maxwell’s electrodynamics. 
It acts in the atom.
But how Electron acts in cell and in Outer space we don’t know.
We need time to understand this fact.
And when we understand  the Vacuum and Electron 
we will know the Ultimate Nature of Reality, it means we
 will know the material basis of Quantum Consciousness too.
===.
Now nobody knows what the Vacuum and Electron are.
 1
" The problem of the exact description of vacuum, in my opinion,  
 is the basic problem now before physics. Really, if you can’t correctly 
describe the vacuum, how it is possible to expect a correct description 
of something more complex? "
       / Paul Dirac /
2
 You know, it would be sufficient to really understand the electron. 
      / Albert Einstein  /
#
Tell me what an electron is and I'll then tell you everything.
     / Somebody /
#
"... indeed an understanding of psi phenomena and of 
consciousness must provide the basis of an improved 
understanding of quantum mechanics."

		<description>Dear Admin
Began writing you a lengthy response but my questions disappeared.  Working in the dark! :-)  For now I have no choice but to follow your wise words without lengthy questioning on my part.

You know, sometimes one has to let go of what one understands, to understand. Previous understanding makes it complicated. A mind that doesn’t know, and is happy with that not-knowing, is a happy open mind. 

Thanks for the above.   So simple and so clear.  Yes, I have clealry been trying to understand too much and will try this week with your guidance to stand still and accept not-knowing and in that be aware.  Scientific ways of looking miss a lot!  

Thanks for your link to Nisargadatta.  I have read a little of 'I AM THAT' before.  I would like to say thanks though for the ease at which you provide links to related info.

I am getting there Admin.  Beginning to understand all you say.  Standing still but aware.  :-)  For now at least!

The battle is waning.
Thanks Admin.  Peace and Light to you.</description>

		<description>More hints  - your comments start with ........

You know, sometimes one has to let go of what one understands, to understand. Previous understanding makes it complicated. A mind that doesn’t know, and  is happy with that not-knowing, is a happy open mind. 

....If I understand correctly, the awareness that was, is and always will be, IS? 

IS? Is simply is. It’s undeniable. Yes, “IS” is awareness. But be careful. “Awareness” is a noun, a thing as it were. Probably better to just say AWARE is.

.............Experiences come and go, but it is that, which IS, that is permanent? So far so good! 

That’s a relief:-)

....As for experiences and what your teaching asks - what is real, you or your experiences? I think both. 

You are a meditator - take another look. There are natural moments when the mind is silent, more so in meditation. Let the question arise then and then simply look. What is more real? Don’t find an answer to the question – just look and see.

.....But with awareness to realise the impermanence of experience and the permanence of what IS? 

“Aware” is permanent – it won’t budge. Stand up and swing the body and see that which does not move with the body. This is who you are.

.........For me, experience is a way of making sense of the world in order to function? What do you think? 

Experience is the mind and the world – it makes sense of itself all by it self. The mind does what it does without intervention. Just push it all to the side for a while. It all arises as it does, but at the same time, there is something more, something greater. That which makes it possible. It is not affected by your experiences.

...........Have you read Sartre? I feel there is a cross-over somewhere, where experience does affect Awareness? 

A sketch on the theory of emotions, and a few bits and pieces. Awareness knows experience and can enlighten experience, but all experience is change, impermanence – the paint cannot know or condition the painter. 

……something, where you have to dig so far and deep within yourself and turn yourself inside out in order to survive, that when looking back to the child they were, they feel thousands of worlds apart. 

Yes, but this is the field of experience again. What you are looking for cannot be experienced or found. It has never been lost! It is simply the now, but the mind saying “now now now”. Just be still and silent. Give it all up. What is left? 

..............Yes, the core thread that was and IS, is still there, in a way that is difficult to put your finger on, but as to the same essential Awareness that was and Is Now, I dont know? Or are they one and the same?

When the mind tried to grasp things, it does so using its own frame of reference. Time is the minds backbone – it’s not going to let you remove time from the equation. Your question has to be answered by awareness itself, and for this to happen all you need to do is be totally still and silent. Even if the mind is thinking or creating images and so on, you can still be still and silent (AWARE). You can listen to a dog barking on the other side of the street without loosing yourself – just see the rattling mind in the same way. Stop giving it importance.

..........Thanks again for your patience and guidance. You mentioned A Course In Miracles. I have heard of it mentioned before. Would you recommend it?

Yes, A course in Miracles is a fantastic tool. The symbols used are difficult for many and the language is archaic, but otherwise it is great, especially the daily lessons. What we have been discussing is basically Advaita. Nisargadda, for me at least, points clearly at that which we are.
The book “ I AM THAT” is probably the best book I have ever read. Full of humour and clarity.

.............The battle goes on!
Yes, but in time only.
Keep up the good work SD and thank you for your enjoyable responses:-)</description>

		<description>Well, as soon as one opens one mouth, things become complicated. 
I can offer a few more hints.
I think it is a question of Identity. We say “I, ME, ONESELF” and so on, not really knowing what we are referring to. The so called “I” appears to be a moment-to-moment misidentification with the mind at large. Some people bang their physical bodies and say this is I! Others relate more to their feeing life, emotions and so on. Others that are mentally centred relate to that: however; this is all mind: physical, emotional and mental mind. We identify with the mind from moment to moment: we love our experiences. 
It’s interesting to notice that in the dram state you may be a monk, a woman, a child and even an animal; however, ones sense of Identity is not threatened by it. It doesn’t really mater what you experience yourself to be in the dream state – your true Identity is still complete and in fact untouched. Pure. Some days we wake up totally alive and renewed, usually after a night with little dreaming, just resting in that which we are. Initially on awakening, prior to any thought, everything is totally peaceful and complete. In the waking state our thinking processes click in and we start to think and question. The “I” is merely a thought, and your believing it to be true, makes it true. 

Another hint:
When we speak of subject and object there are true, but only to a certain point. Yet another “relative truth”. But a relative truth is ultimately an untruth. There is the awareness that you are, and there is that which arises in awareness. Nothing more. The subject and the object arise in Awareness as types of consciousness. The Buddha was asked who or what he was. He replied: I AM AWARE. With this he did not mean that he was a subjective person that held the capacity to be aware. His name, his substance, and all he was IS AWARE. Put more simply: an apple IS apple; a Buddha is Aware. And this is true for you and everyone else: we are already complete. When the mind eventually knows this, it relaxes. 

In “A course in Miracles you can read: “the ego’s moto is seek but do not find”. The ego or “I” is an effect, not a cause; it cannot find. The cause is here and now and you are that.
Are you a meditator?

Another hint:  From the day you were born you haven’t moved an inch. When you see yourself as a child and remember events, they are being relieved in the same Awareness that was then. When you visualize the future, it is happening in the essential Awareness that you are NOW. The now that is today has always been the same.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, as soon as one opens one mouth, things become complicated.<br />
I can offer a few more hints.<br />
I think it is a question of Identity. We say “I, ME, ONESELF” and so on, not really knowing what we are referring to. The so called “I” appears to be a moment-to-moment misidentification with the mind at large. Some people bang their physical bodies and say this is I! Others relate more to their feeing life, emotions and so on. Others that are mentally centred relate to that: however; this is all mind: physical, emotional and mental mind. We identify with the mind from moment to moment: we love our experiences.<br />
It’s interesting to notice that in the dram state you may be a monk, a woman, a child and even an animal; however, ones sense of Identity is not threatened by it. It doesn’t really mater what you experience yourself to be in the dream state – your true Identity is still complete and in fact untouched. Pure. Some days we wake up totally alive and renewed, usually after a night with little dreaming, just resting in that which we are. Initially on awakening, prior to any thought, everything is totally peaceful and complete. In the waking state our thinking processes click in and we start to think and question. The “I” is merely a thought, and your believing it to be true, makes it true. </p>
<p>Another hint:<br />
When we speak of subject and object there are true, but only to a certain point. Yet another “relative truth”. But a relative truth is ultimately an untruth. There is the awareness that you are, and there is that which arises in awareness. Nothing more. The subject and the object arise in Awareness as types of consciousness. The Buddha was asked who or what he was. He replied: I AM AWARE. With this he did not mean that he was a subjective person that held the capacity to be aware. His name, his substance, and all he was IS AWARE. Put more simply: an apple IS apple; a Buddha is Aware. And this is true for you and everyone else: we are already complete. When the mind eventually knows this, it relaxes. </p>
