Again mind is below consciousness you will not be able to arrive at a conclusion through "intellectual" discourse. Consciousness in its pure form is "experienced" by itself, it is not "understood" by mind. Consciousness is EVERYTHING. You NEVER understand Zero, Infinity "intellectually" you develop a feel for them similarly consciousness, you'll have to experience it, know it intuitively, not intellectually. Intellect is made to work with finite it's intuition that works with infinite. Hope that helps... | |

| Aug 5, 2017 at 2:51 | comment | added | Ashish Shukla | These are my personal experiences and this information is contained in the literature of Sanatan Dharma(Religion). In subjects like consciousness personal experience is much more valuable then text because consciousness is not a subject which can be understood like other subjects. Mind is a faculty used by consciousness hence consciousness lies beyond the capacity of mind to understand. Mind cannot explain emotions fully let alone consciousness. So yes there is literature available but I speak from experience. | |
| Aug 4, 2017 at 18:25 | comment | added | Not_Here | Hello and welcome to philosophy.SE! Do you think you could provide any links or quotations to support your post? As you have written it now, this is mostly just you stating what your opinion on the subject is. That is totally fine, you are free to do so, but your answer will be much better recieved if you have some sort of support for your opinion, otherwise it comes off as being too objective to be considered a good answer on a Q&A site (which strives for as objective as possible answers). Have other philosophers argued what you have? Which ones in particular? | |
