Hello,
Through listening to a few talks and wandering through my mind put together some pieces.
Mind you this is my wanderings and have not practiced or deeply studied these matters.
The thoughts came up and found them interesting.
So in my way presenting them here.
The Universe and us (being of it) seem to have awareness.
What lay within this awareness?
Potential(s) seem to, in my view.
From the potentials form manifests in its many varieties.
Does form give rise to consciousness?
As I look at this question it seems it does. For consciousness seems to be where one places focus. Which leads down the path to the next inquiry.
Can the Universe have consciousness without the manifestation of form?
Is the potentials (that may be) with in awareness where consciousness is formed?
If there is nothing (formless) to have or express that consciousness or there is no focus being done, then is there just awareness?
The formless being aware of the potentials, but nothing has formed in which focus can be placed, so there is just awareness and potentials without consciousness. Is how I'm viewing this.
A bit of riddle I know.
Looking at the progression or if you will the flow of it.
It seems at the moment, there is awareness, then thru this potentials are realized, then form rises and brings consciousness (focus). Form brings consciousness to the Universe, without it there is just awareness and potentials.
Perhaps some are willing here to shed further insight and thoughts upon this.
Thank you.
The interesting bit is can there be just awareness without consciousness?
Hopefully this is presented clearly enough.
