The way I see the mind is that, whatever I can observe is external to the thing observing it. That’s all mental qualia too, even though they are also subjective.
If something or someone else observes the observer within another person, that too is not the observer.
In all cases the observer is external ~ on the outside, and not on the inside. The perspective of being on the inside merely appears to be on the inside, but if we think of it as an observer seeing an inner viewscreen [aka like on a camcorder], we can see how even that is an external thing.
I wonder if ‘outside’ is the same in all cases, e.g. outside of existence/universe is the same kind of thing as that which is outside of the body/brain?
I know the terms in/out/side are merely relative btw.
Something ‘i’ can observe is always outside. But who am ‘i’?
Or even what am ‘i’?
Do we really know, even the meaning of who or what? From what point of view-(outside) can we find that out? Therefore we never know, but only from the outside, from others’ point of view.
So we really never know. If we never can know, (the inside from the out), such distinction is nothing but a
presumption.
Are presumptions enough to satisfy the criteria of separating Being from existence?
As long as that is accurate its fine imho, and we can know what we are as the observed. We cannot though, know what the observer is except that we are it. Whatever way secularists try to explain that away, it remains that reality contains only qualities, behaviours and a space they dwell in. so we then ask; is the observing experiencer a quality or a behaviour, where I think the latter would be absurd.
Physical reality exists entirely independently of any mind which is processing it since what we perceive is what is external
rather than internal to us. So our minds do not create reality but do interpret it which is a subtle but important difference
initially i’d think that to be true, but there is the collection of objective things [physical information], and the only thing left is the observer. So that’s a kind of ‘true subjectivity’, in that everything being observed in the subjective, is itself objective.
I agree but with a little correction, the processing is part of and not independent of physical reality.
