Being Is Self-Evident and Obvious

Friday 10 October 2025

Mind as Consciousness

"Do you think everything is a type of mind? Rupert says: ‘Everything is mind rather than matter. The Caribbean beach you dream of at night only looks like it’s made of matter because you view it through the perceiving faculties of the character in your dream. You wake up and realise the beach was made of mind, not matter. But when I say it’s mind, I mean it’s made of consciousness – that doesn’t mean it’s conscious. Your thoughts are made of consciousness but your thoughts themselves are not conscious. Your current thought is not listening to our conversation. The sensation at the soles of your feet appears in consciousness, is made of consciousness, but it’s not listening to our conversation. So it’s not conscious. It’s made of consciousness, but it’s not conscious.’"
