‘Here’ Is Not a Place in Space

Saturday 16 September 2023

Infinite Consciousness Doesn't Need the Finite Mind

A man asks if we, as beings, need to use thoughts, feelings and perceptions in order to recognise being. Rupert says being knows itself by itself. It doesn't need a finite mind. Using the John Smith/King Lear metaphor, he says that King Lear cannot know he is John Smith. Only John Smith knows himself. Consciousness needs the mind to know the world but not itself.
