What is so mysterious about human consciousness?

[Speck Tater]

43. If you had ever done any serious meditation, for any length of time,

you would realize just how silly that sounds.

People who don't know what consciousness is shouldn't try to "explain" it.

Seriously, dig in and do some concentrated introspection and insight meditation for a few years and then, with what you learn from that experience, look back at what you just wrote. You will chuckle at it, and wonder how you could ever have thought such things. And even though you will then understand exactly what I mean when I say your views are "silly", you also will not be able to explain it in 25 words or less. You can't explain what "red" feels like to someone who is blind since birth. But give them sight and they will understand. (But they still won't be able to explain it to their blind friends.)

So, no, I will not "explain" it to you. That you have to discover for yourself. If you really want to know, that is. If you don't really want to know, well, that's fine too. Just don't try to be the blind man who explains "red" to the sighted person. It just make you sound silly.
