All consciousness that we know of so far is relative. It is either greater or lesser in subjective reality. To have Absolute consciousness there cannot be relative reality. There cannot ge greater or less than at all. Greater or less than is always relative, not absolute. To be Absolute is to have no actuality in relative reality such as greater than or less than, and there can be no potentiality or possibility for greater than or less than in the Absolute because that is Only a relative reality.
Relative and absolute can co-exist inside of the same whole substance.
Example : A relative geometric material can be effected by the absolute speed and pattern of light, thus an absolute producing a relative. Also that material can be burned and release light, which is then the relative producing the absolute.
Relative and absolute both exist inside of a whole which is more than either of them, just like finite and infinite both exist together as a whole dimensional-substantial.
This also applies to the mind, full of infinite and finite, absolute and relative.
I agree with Dan~.
You might try looking up “dialectical monism” on Wiki. It’s a term I just learned.
thanks for the quick replies. I’m still not fully convinced we’re relative at death. I almost cannot imagine it. Unless theres gods influcence in that direction.
Death destroys all possibilities that you are aware of and creates all possibilities that you are unaware of. As such, you can’t know or imagine anything about it, which is the way it should be (i.e. the way it is).
are you saying theres no limit to the amount of possibilities that we are currently unaware of, and when we die any number of them can actually happen?
I find it unlikely any of them are relative, ‘relative reality’, however…
I agree. I don’t think any of them are relative, because where is death relative to? Maybe nowhere. Yes, the possibilities have no limits at death. I think… ![]()
if theres infinite possibilities at death wouldn’t that mean it equates to infinite reality? And if this logic is true then why isn’t human reality also infinite? Why aren’t they both subject to the same tautology: infinite possibilities = infinite actuality. Why not?

Because the human mind is limited by ignorance. We cannot handle the sheer magnitude of infinite possibilies, so our minds actively ignore certain possibilities and limit the ones we have access too.
Hey!!! You’re making me give out info on the thesis I’m working on!

If you die, your dead stuff gets recycled. Some of it becomes a different form of life. Being dead is relative because after you decompose and go back into the cycle, you’re alive again as something else.
Energy is always moving, changing from one type of energy into another. A life made of energy, is very non-absolute, as is a mind made of energy.
