Serious Discussion: What is Consciousness?

You never become the Lord, you are always part and parcel of the Lord qualitatively, but quantitatively you are very small and he is very large.

Your consciousness permeates your entire body and does not extend beyond that, but the lord is conscious of all our bodies and everything within all universes, thus he is PARABRAHMAN, or the SUPREME BRAHMAN, the same way he is PARA-ATMA, or the SUPREME SOUL.

Not without some vehicle, duality.

And she is the universe of his personal consciousness.
Both as one are Atman as Brahman.

You can't become the Lord, because ego will die when he becomes you.

Everything within all universes is within your body.

Vehicles for the universal dost thou not become?

The lord is not impersonal, he does not become you. You are already an eternal fragment from time immemorial.

Impersonalist commentators on the Bhagavad-gitä unreasonably assume that Brahman takes the form of jiva in the material world, and to substantiate this they refer to Chapter Fifteen, verse 7, of the Gitä. But in this verse the Lord also speaks of the living entity as "an eternal fragment of Myself." The fragment of God, the living entity, may fall down into the material world, but the Supreme Lord (Acyuta) never falls down. Therefore this assumption that the Supreme Brahman assumes the form of jiva is not acceptable. It is important to remember that in Vedic literature Brahman (the living entity) is distinguished from Parabrahman (the Supreme Lord).

Ego does not die, FALSE ego is a covering of the soul that is removed when one realizes he is Spirit Soul and not the Body.

Only in your/his dream/her. :)

That is not He (consciusness) nor She (universe).

The Source of both, God.

I dream a dream.

So being so knowledgeable, you must know how to get out of this distressing situation known as Birth & Death.

What medicine do you recommend for this age of Kali Yuga?

Knowing is not being, right?


BTW, I believe in Jesus Christ.

Love all life. Yes, that is the right medicine.

When the Lord becomes you he is no longer 'he', but 'that'( your true self) which is beyond time and never fell.

My version of this;

is.

Lord Jesus Christ is a great Spiritual Master, it is unfortunate most of his disciples just simply did not understand what he was speaking about fully.

What specific teachings of jesus do you follow?

What is your view on the commandment " Thou shalt not kill ".

Should this not apply to the massive amount of slaughterhouses we have in america?

Spirit will be your body.
When one ego dies, all will die and no one has ever fallen.

Come on. Awake. :)

You don't quote Shastra, you are speaking like a fool. The Lord is PARABRAHMAN, the living entity is composed of Impersnoal BRAHMAN but is always personal. The LORD NEVER BECOMES Brahman because the Brahman is his IMPERSONAL EFFULGENCE.

I know your Hare Krishna movement and agree fully with all your opinions, that which I know of.




All of them.

I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Matthew 5:18

Whose version is this 'is'?

You are too clever for me. ;)

personal + impersonal Brahman = Parabrahman (me which is alone and therefore beyond personal and impersonal)

In this age of quarrel and hypocrisy the only means of deliverance is the chanting of the holy name of the Lord. There is no other way. There is no other way. There is no other way.

The Lord is unlimited and has unlimited names, and he is known by name only because the names describe qualities of god.

Christ is a name of the lord. If this is your preferred name to chant, then please chant the name of the lord to develop your love of god even further!

This is the Yuga-Dharma, or occupational duties for this age!

We must flood the world with love of god, no matter what caste, creed, or religion.

Consciousness is the Universe trying to understand itself...

What makes you think this? Why not use authoritative knowledge instead of trying to manufacture some idea?

I like silence more.

What does silence bring? Silence is only necessary when one does not know what to speak about.

I wake to sleep. I sleep to wake. All things are accomplished in my waking sleep.

If you are silent enough you can hear Lord speaking to you, non-verbal.
