Hi there.
I am posting this Forum Topic in the firm belief that there are those among us who truly refuse to accept the limitations of logic, ritual systems, what have you.

What I define as the "Need to Know".

Should human beings accept that they have full knowledge of everything they need, lacking no thought process of any thing: they would be beyond consciousness; (consciousness being the awareness of a thought or need of thought); complete.

There fore in this state of being what would they do?

My only request is this: please stay on topic, consider your response before you post and actually read each reply thoroughly.

Thanks,

James

  I think religion tries to use a middle man "God" to go beyond consciousness to find their true selves. It doesn't take a middle man to find yourself. Maybe when someone truly finds themselves, they are then on another level of consciousness while being conscious. Maybe when a person finds themselves, they can then go beyond themselves.

  logic is a 'string' of thoughts complex or simple, passive or aggressive (answer/question). So no matter the 'length' of the string, it will always be subject to the need -which is any given instance of the thought, the awareness/consciousness aka the need-to-know.
  
  Better said, will always be conscious of its limitation because without the thought it has no need-to-know. So long as it has a need, it will always exist.

  The NTK aka "over-bearing prophet," is a well proven fallacy according to self awareness.
  
  All things - alive or dead- KNOW this to be truth - it is proven beyond supra consciousness. Thus it is proven, thus it is shown.

  is consciousness the awareness of the thoughts or is consciousness simply awareness?
  i believe it is the latter and do one can rise above the petty limitations of this 3rd dimensional plane of existence to an extent, but if one ceases to "think" in essence one would not "exist" and since that is not a possibility to not think would not be either.

  Hello Double. Thank you for posting.
  the essence of thinking v. existence is a very interesting point.
  Because existing is not the same as being. Existing implies one partaking of a thing -such as thought- and being subject to it entirely -its length, depth, limitation. (i.e. I think, therefore I am).

  There must be something beyond consciousness/thought. Else the sum & substance of the human brain/thought process is mute.
  The human brain's purpose is to be complete/full, lacking nothing/no information, enabling us to "be" instead of exist. This state of being is presently limited by our need to think, need to know.

Perhaps, I should clarify.

The Need to Know - the state of awareness of a need to think or reason; consciousness; aware of a thought or sum of thoughts, which in some form or fashion a quest, desire, etc for knowledge.

The NTK applies equally to any human -apart from religious or scientific or lack there of such beliefs/methods.

let me go a little deeper and say this:

consciousness is the awareness of a thought or need to think.

"It is not necessary to consider a thought, a question nor its opponent, an answer. Both are relative parallels of the Need to Know, continuously limited to each other and the thought itself- which is their existence. For without the thought, neither exists or has purpose - especially with regard to purity"

-this is an excerpt from a work I have been involved in for some years titled: An Application of Pure Consideration (the relationary parallels of the need to know)

Yeah the tools are all in our heads, most people just don't know how to use them. States of consciousness: (It is not black and white, nothing is):

Delta: 0.5-3.5HZ
Theta: 3.5-7HZ
Alpha: 7-13 HZ
Beta: 13-30 HZ
Gamma: c.40HZ- 200 HZ

Alpha is our normal state of consciousness. When the speed of thought increases to Beta, this is when religious people may think they can talk to god or whatever. But it is just a different state on consciousness to our usual one, we aren't all that familiar with it, so people contemplate reason.

Few people will ever reach Gamma, that is a level where mental has potential to transform to physical. Most people will never realize, or believe what their braains are actually capable of.

  Most of the human population live in Beta -always going, going, going.
  Some even when they sleep.
  
  -but again, as aforementioned, any state of consciousness/awareness is a limitation. I suppose with the 5 brain frequencies, there is tons of awareness happening, lots of NTK.

Mark, one example used is pain.
Pain is an alarm or awareness/consciousness that something is not correct. Compare thought to pain, they are quite identical.

both are a consciousness/awareness.

if there were no pain, there is no need for that consciousness.
if there is no thought, there is no need for that either.

so, to go beyond consciousness, would state that all thought is full, complete, without need. It was also state that humans then have or have had that ability at some point. Should this be the case, then we are in fact infinite, as the universe we live in.
Though endlessly increasing, but always full, always complete, beyond need.

  Pain? What is pain? Meaningless physical measurements. Supra consciousness allows you to deal with pain in ways never before imagined.
  
  There is no pain where the body cannot be damaged. Pain is a purely physical thing and applies only as a warning that damage is imminent.

  did you read the 1st post, Mark? just wondering.
  
  : any thought, is a limitation for it is a parallel of the NTK.
  : to need is to lack something, to be aware or conscious, thus the limitation.
  
  : the only certainty is that to be would require having no need, no awareness, no consciousness thus freeing oneself from the relationary parallels.
  
  : else, no matter the extent -depth, width, height or breadth of that parallel, one will always be subject & limited to it (i.e. existing, having imperfection, limitation, a lose of fullness, a need)

Lunacy.

There is NOTHING beyond consciousness/awareness.

The entire thought process is only realized because of consciousness/awareness of life.

Consciousness/awareness is the highest value to life, in and of, itself.

Everything the mind/brain comes up with for thoughts, is only because consciousness/awareness is already above and beyond the thought process.

If there was no consciousness/awareness in a person, then they are either sleeping or dead.

  Cags,
  
  1. you say there is nothing beyond consciousness. If so, there is no true purpose to living/life. all is mute, pointless.
  2. you say the entire thought process is realized BECAUSE of the consciousness -how is that possible- since the thought itself implies a need for awareness.
  3. If it is the highest value of life -in and of itself then why the need for processing the thought or having consciousness -everything would be 'zen', no need or lack of any kind. and it contradicts your first statement entirely.
  4. if the brain is just sending/receiving messages from that consciousness than thought is again controlling that consciousness.
  
  which makes consciousness/thought is a relationary parallel.

  if I may...
  
  1. the purpose is to achieve higher states of consciousness. from this vantage point, thoughts become mute and pointless, not consciousness.
  2. awareness doesn't need thoughts. awareness precedes thought.
  3. the need to process thought is linked with our fallen state of consciousness and requires an in-depth discussion of cosmology for the answer to be revealed.
  4. thoughts influence consciousness, they don't control it.

seems most are referring to the human condition, that is without thought, they would not 'be'. I cannot accept that as the totality of creation.

if we -as a human being- are complete, lacking no knowledge or need to know, then we are beyond awareness/consciousness/need. for our brain would function effortlessly to perform those things we assume we 'need' to do, automatically.

thus without need of logic/thinking would be free to be. That being is not a state of inaction, just the opposite -unlimited action: creation/creating.

we are beyond meta physic, meta logic, or any such term.
all are conscious, that i know of, as Marcel exampled by the 5 frequencies of the brain.

our limitation is accepting the subjective, the awareness, the need to know.

I thoroughly agree, Jerami, it is very relative.

now Paul, here is the 2nd part of the excerpt:

"So, then we have a knowledge of things, full well accepting that awareness, being that consciousness and continuously thinking, as to keep at bay, purity. for purity needs nothing -in that it fully knows and therefore is exceedingly greater than thought and its parts. And being, that is the state or essence of purity provides unlimited ability to be and to do for purposes beyond need, beyond consequence, beyond thought or the processes contained. Purity exceeds enlightenment -since enlightenment is also a form of consciousness/awareness and so limited to the parallel previous stated."

"Now of Quality, though I am no expert, it appears that both sides of the house have come together -science and religion (classic and romantic, logic and sensation) to form a union, that which is called Quality (i.e. quality of life). And this newness inspires even more awareness and a belief that the purpose and pleasure of life is now complete, A New Age Philosophy perhaps? Even though they have removed the wall between and fashioned the roof of Quality, there remains much quarreling within. Which only manifests a deeper expression of the need to know for both. Still there is no purity....

"One can see the conflict in approaching Purity, but so it must be. For Purity is not a thing to attain by that paralell, but is a thing already foreseen and is as a fullness of knowledge, lacking nothing, having everything. Thus, by any measure is infinite. As beings of human kind, we are then the expression of purity when we free ourselves from all consciousness; infinite when we disrobe ourselves of the veils of knowledge and accept our true nature, a creation of perfection, a manifestation of purity and one with purity itself."

kessposted 14 years ago
Being aware that we know all things and we are all things is the highest state of consciousness.

Therefor our knowing, being, awareness, consciousness are all one and of the same and is the Mind, the I am.

The mind then processes the knowing which we define as thoughts and is thinking.

This knowing precedes us for they first reside within Him who begat us. And we rightfully regard these thoughts as foreknowledge.

The processes of thinking begins from either the knowing or the lack thereof.

When there is a lacking in the knowing there is the "need to know". And that need can be satisfied from the all knowing self.

Or we may also seek to know from other sources, because we are not yet aware of the all knowing self.

The key therefore is to be aware of the all knowing self.

The one thing that hinders the that awareness of the all knowing self is the thought which the mind contemplates.

There are thoughts which can hinders or benefit the all knowing.

Since the all knowing contains and is the realization of all things, the thoughts that then is beneficcial to all things are also beneficial to the all knowing.

And if the all knowing would contemplate on the things that are not beneficial to all things, then the all knowing also hinders itself.

Putting away these thoughts are referred to as repentance.

The all knowing first perceive itself as hindered and contained because of it's ever present body.

But by realisation of itself it will without fail will continuously embark upon ridding itself of the body's limitations.

This is why it is not necessary to tell the sons of God "do not sin" for they of themselves already knows and understand the the limitation of sin and to take thought "not sinning" is contemplating sin itself.

Consider then this, if we be given that infinite capacity to be all knowing, and in us all things and crowned us with the title god.

Who then is He of whom we call Father?
What title can we bestow upon Him?

If we then seek to know this All Knowing Father, we are then also get a revelation of Ourself.

And by Him We know that there are Thoughts we should contemplate, for they are all Good for the all in All.
And thoughts it is good that we repent from contemplating.

If we take thought of these individual thoughts, they are then evil to the all in All.

But if we repent from the run total of all of them. They are them good for to the all in All.

I can say it this way again, if the darkness reside within the mind, then it will destroy the mind.
But if the mind reject the darkness, it can then be tree for it's benefit.

In that way all things are good.

James, i can say no to this. I mean call me skeptical but i refuse to accept that the knowledge is complete. Even science works on falsification and verification. So any path that says complete knowledge is quack, there is no such thing as full knowledge on this planet that human mind can digest.

In between, I'll keep track of this thread for some of your views.

  Hi again, Sky.
  What I am aiming at is: the human being actually knows everything it needs to. When we 'realize/become conscious/aware of' any given instance, what is occurring is not a revelation but simply the brain re-activating that dormant thought process.
  
  In so far as to say "full", yes. I can support that notion because it suggests that we are more than simple vessels of collective energy 'searching' aimlessly and blindly for 'the truth' of what our lives represent.

  Wow - that is the first time you have said anything clearly.
  
  But - you are mostly wrong. A human being does not know everything it needs to given the environment we currently inhabit.
  
  Nor has it done for a very long time. In fact - actually this is more an "educated guess," - we have not done so since we became conscious and needed to learn some of the things we need to know from our parents/caregivers/elder members of the tribe.
  
  We do not inherently "know" for example that cars are dangerous. We need to learn that. On the other hand we do inherently know that Tigers are and will know that instinctively.
  
  Things changing and moving as fast as they do - I doubt the inherent knowledge will ever catch up, but it is a shame most of us choose to ignore the inherent knowledge and instead transfer it to religion or a belief in god instead.

  Hello Mark.
  
  I can see your point.
  Yet, even though we 'learn' that instance seems to be just an activation of a thought, series of thoughts already in place.
  I suppose if it were watered down, instinct would be the acceptable consideration.
  
  Interesting enough, you mention man made objects (cars, etc) which 'creates' a secondary NTK system with the human brain. In essence man 'creating' an additional consciousness (i.e. creating JavaScript from COBOL).
  
  Interesting points indeed.

  I remember when I was a Child and interrupted conversations between my parents and Grandparents I was often told that If I would "Hide and listen" I would learn the answers to my curiosity much faster. And sometimes not.
  And that I was not ready to understand some of those answers.

  Don't feel sory for me. If you had been told to "hide and watch or listen" when you were younger; You might have recieved the answers to your questions before now.

Jerami,

it says they are overly self absorbed and argumentative.
Never mind 'curious' or even 'inquisitive'. Because to inquire is to ask relevant questions, as well as, substantiate relevant responses.

All I see in these threads is the same 5 or 10 persons crowing and squawking, yet never actually fully listening and making thorough responses.

it's like recess for 'adults'. Let's pick on this or that so we don't have to actually explain ourselves without pointing fingers of injecting selfish notions.

a sad fact...

I was always told that I can learn nothing while my mouth is moving.

  And, whomever told you that, wasn't doing you any favors. Because, one has to move their mouth, before learning can begin, such as asking questions.
  
  Just a thought.

  We have to know when and where and to who to ask questions.
  What good is a question when we do not consider the where,when, and who? We learn nothing from the question. We learn when we listen and attempt to understand the answer. We do not have to agree with the answer in order to learn from it.
  It is sometimes not necessary to understand WHAT to do, but more important to know what NOT to do.
  And again there is no knowledge received when the mouth is moving; but in the hearing.
  
  And if remaining ignorant unless you get to choose the lesson is your choice, then so be it.
  
  Twenty one days.. I see your point about all consciousness is sin, and it is a good one.
  But I think that consciousness "MAY have had" two paths, and few took the path less traveled. We may not be aware of this because those have already arrived at a diffrent destination than the one we are moving towards?
  Just thinking out loud again. I do that a lot.
  Sometimes I say things doing that that I wish I could take back.
  
  I really do have to go now but will check back in later.

Twenty One Daysposted 14 years ago
Jerami, considering your life experiences, I would gather you have learned much, even beyond questions. Here's to you.

Sometimes -well in most cases all times- it is better not to ask questions and learn than to ask questions that continue infinitely, bringing no fullness of understanding.

as i said at the beginning of this thread, any type of 'awareness/consciousness/thinking/knowledge' is a limitation.

-As you and I both believe- because I cannot speak for the others-

"Adam became 'conscious/aware/realized' he was naked after listening to the barrage of question/suggestion/ideas of his character/true nature and accepting it as truth.

As a result, he became a slave to his thoughts and the action/reaction of them (consequence).

Before that, he was 'above' consciousness -he was righteous.
so, in all truth, all consciousness is sin.
all understanding is righteousness, fullness, pure.

enjoy the day, Jerami!

Now, I would like to continue by adding a second note.

We can agree that pain is an awareness that something is wrong with our bodies. Pain is an awareness/a consciousness/ a collection of thoughts.

What interests me is this: the items in question or better said, the elements of 'pain' -being the collective strings of that thought/awareness- ALREADY were there, before we had the instance where that thought manifested/activated (i.e. we 'felt' the pain). This opens me to affirm that the human brain contains everything it needs-to-know.

I welcome your feedback.

Beyond consciousness lies the sub conscious, the source of all knowingness.
The more that is sub conscious bought into consciousness, the more we can know.
Experiments and empirical evidence about the subconscious would indicate vast resources.
