   Instead of seeing the mind as the persisting bearer of such transient events as occurrences of cognition, feeling and volition, he treats ‘mind’ as a kind of aggregate term for bundles of transient mental events. These events being impermanent, they too fail to account for diachronic personal identity in the way in which a self might be expected to. Another argument for non-self, which might be called the argument from control (S III.66–8), has this structure: 1. If there were a self, one could never desire that it be changed. 2. Each of the five kinds of psychophysical element is such that on…

   You have the translation from Dennis Redmond, which is a little bit less literary, but also more can can be not always, but can be more accurate. Oops, not this one. Okay, this is Let me at his table of contents. I'm just going to look at his um Yeah. Self-reflection of thought. Let's see if this is the same section. Yeah. So, this is actually we'll see a kind of a significantly different. The power of consciousness reaches all the way into its own deception. It is rationally cognizable where a detached rationality has run away from itself becomes false turns truly into mythology is a little b…

   When the body is gone and consciousness is no longer tethered to a narrow stream of data, maybe you don't go anywhere because maybe you were never really in the body to begin with. There's a moment, instant, silent, and complete, when consciousness becomes aware of itself. Not just aware of the world around it or of a body moving through space, but of its own existence. That moment isn't gradual. It doesn't build, flashes. And in that flash, something extraordinary happens. The creation of a self. The moment that one knows itself, he has to know completely itself because it's not made of parts…

   Thus Harvey (1995, 22) argues that the notion of a ‘self which witnesses’ most probably refers to deeper aspects of consciousness ( citta ) acting as ‘conscience.’ In a similar vein, Collins (1982, 87–115) delineates several points supporting the not-self view as the correct account: (1) the metaphysical notion of self as eternal and unchanging is actually just plain erroneous (a defect of speculative opinion); (2) taking the body to be the self is a mistaken view; (3) consciousness itself is not the self; (4) it is impossible to speak of a self apart from experience; (5) a false sense of self…

   Some even argue that consciousness is constituted by embodiment. Merleau-Ponty, for example, argues that consciousness itself is embodied: Insofar as, when I reflect on the essence of subjectivity, I find it bound up with that of the body and that of the world, this is because my existence as subjectivity [= consciousness] is merely one with my existence as a body and with the existence of the world, and because the subject that I am, when taken concretely, is inseparable from this body and this world (Merleau-Ponty 1962, p. 408). This phenomenological influence can be seen clearly in embodied…

   The substrate of the synthesis is thus held to be reconciled with the eye and therefore to be good which promptly permits the moral desitter that the subject understanding how much the cause is its own should bow to what is heterogeneous to it. Identity is the primal form of ideology. We relish it as adequacy to the thing it suppresses. Adequacy has always been subjection to dominant purposes and in that sense its own contradiction. All right, we we talked about this last night. Ideology's power of resistance to enlightenment is owed to its complicity with identifying thought or indeed with th…

   if we are talking about a universal field of subjectivity whatever its impetus is it has to do with itself because it's the only thing that exists by hypothesis so how does it go about fulfilling its impetus in keeping in mind that it is a form of mind an unbound form of mind well how how does mind go about knowing itself or or doing anything it it talks to itself and it talks to itself through the generation of inner imagery that's what mind does mind expresses itself to itself through the generation of inner imagery in so far as it then believes that that inner imagery is outside of itself t…

   In the formula of dependent arising that we encounter at several places in the canonical literature, consciousness is said to arise in dependence upon the sense and the physical object. But the appearance of phenomena itself depend in turn upon this empirical awareness. Thus, the Buddha declares: Mind and body condition contact. By whatever properties, characteristics, signs or indications the mind factor is to be conceived, in their absence...would any grasping at the idea of the body factor be manifest? No, Sir...By whatever properties the mind factor and the body factor are designated, in t…

    Depth psychology finds empirical validation today in a variety of observations that suggest the presence of causally effective mental processes outside conscious experience. I submit that this is due to misinterpretation of the observations: the subset of consciousness called "meta-consciousness" in the literature is often mistaken for consciousness proper, thereby artificially creating space for an "unconscious." The implied hypothesis is that all mental processes may in fact be conscious, the appearance of unconsciousness arising from our dependence on self-reflective introspection for gaugi…
