Is mind the essential reality?
Edit; …and does reality describe itself perfectly?
Well its mine, and it is the most fundamental nature of ‘me’, so going upon my self/body & mind as an example, all other things like qualia, archetypes, information and material elements, are after or secondary to the fundamental plateaux of mind.
If I take reality as the example then it is literally impossible to define as an entity or dimensional space, yet I can define those things as within mind. That is, one could imagine that if mind was the essential reality it could think or imagine things e.g. the universe, and those thoughts would become manifest as themselves and thence would become themselves ‘physically’! this because mind in the universal context is the primary reality, unlike our minds which are within that already created reality, hence our minds can create in a similar way and that is our imaginations, yet its manifestations occur within the context of creation [in and of the world].
don’t get me wrong I am not thinking of some manner of god matrix, as I see it things become increasingly disparate from the individualised to the universal [in terms of mind], such that by the time we get to the base mind nature it is little more than an emptiness. What is that ‘little more’ one may ask, well it is enough that it would think of nothing more that the primary entity e.g. a singularity would be all it was and thought of in the instance of singularity, it would not cognate what that is and how to make it for example, it would simply continue to create ~ where creation [or thinking - if you will] is continuous, we could think of it as the perpetual engine of existence.
Principles and laws are outside of existence, so when mind thinks or creates it is as much that existence is occurring as that mind is thinking it. We could visualise this in a similar way to how our thoughts occur relative to the physical and the qualia etc, operating in the world. Such that the manifestation of a thing be it a universe or a thought is a composite of ‘world’ [or existence material and non material] and ‘mind’ where both are ultimately the same thing.
? What then does it mean if we consider mind as the essential reality?
Can we accept a reality map which is fundamentally non descriptive [perhaps is to simple for description]? Where infinity, the quantum and the qualia in the world are relative terms and meanings?
Point being that thought doesn’t have to make sense in any other context than ‘it is’, it can be infinity as much as it can imagine that, equally it can be the universe or anything, it doesn’t have to have the full description!
Hmm we may also ask; if reality could describe itself then why can we not describe it? I don’t mean in terms of great complexities etc, but in fundamental and basic terms. If reality is indescribable because it only has to imagine what it is ‘roughly’, then it makes sense that when we try to describe it accurately we fail.
