Are Objects Aware?

A woman questions whether objects like tables are aware, noting a growing recognition of the indivisibility of reality. Rupert patiently uses thoughts as a teaching example: thoughts appear in consciousness and are made of consciousness but aren’t themselves conscious. Similarly, tables appear in and are made of consciousness without being conscious entities. He emphasises there is no actual ‘table’ in reality – it’s merely how consciousness appears from a localised viewpoint – and distinguishes this understanding from panpsychism.
