There are some that suppose mind to be something different from consciousness, but this is a mistaken notion. \u00a0 It can be proven that thoughts (mind) are a function of consciousness by anyone willing to do a little introspection. \u00a0It can be noticed that when attention is lax, not focused on some particular object of interest, or not engaged in purposeful thinking, that thoughts arise apparently out of nowhere. \u00a0They just appear automatically. \u00a0 But when attention is actively directed to waiting vigilantly for thoughts to arise so they can be inspected, then no thoughts will arise. \u00a0 This is because consciousness cannot be split <em>absolutely<\/em> into a perceiving and a perceived, or what is called a subject perceiving an object. Thoughts are objects, nonetheless, mental objects, that can be \u201cremembered\u201d a split second after they have arisen, or maybe an hour or a day or many years have passed; then a thought may be suddenly remembered. Thoughts appear in consciousness itself in these two ways, either automated thoughts when attention is passive and lax, or willfully directed thoughts, when thinking purposefully. \u00a0 Consciousness appears to split itself into two aspects, a pure perceiver and that which is perceived (in the mind). Consciousness is able to morph itself into images in mind, to reflect itself and its information back to itself, to see into itself and its functions, the mind. \u00a0 Shall we also consider that, after a diligent introspection into this matter of mind and consciousness being one, perhaps also physical objects are made of the same stuff as that which becomes images and thoughts in mind? \u00a0All there really is is consciousness.<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DSCI0201-5-0021.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1794\" src=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DSCI0201-5-0021.jpg\" alt=\"proof\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DSCI0201-5-0021.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DSCI0201-5-0021-150x113.jpg 150w, http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DSCI0201-5-0021-501x376.jpg 501w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Proof \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0What is the proof that what we call \u201cmind\u201d is the functioning of pure consciousness?
