Conciousness

If there can be such as an immortal consciousness, that is one that is independent of a resource whether energy or space then there can be multiple.

The soul could be the space, although not exclusively that is occupied by a particular consciousness not to imply that such a space has any boundaries.

The intellect is that function or set of logic that defines the soul as independent of the body of time. As there can be no analysis in or of the present moment neither can the present provide any resource such as a solution.

That part of the intellect that uses time doe not so much resolve foreseen problems or at least appearing to do or attempt to, but rather, through it's inevitable failure to sustain even the most simple body.

The body consumer has a limited being as it depends upon other limited resources. The mind which uses logic to for growth and security in this killing field knows quite well the futility of absolute answers to any question, such as sustainability and morality.

The Buddhists with a general pattern of non-violence argues that it is not good to kill as every creature has a soul, not that I agree that such is an overriding concern. The Buddhist may eat of an animal that has been offered them for a) it was not their consciousness that did the killing and b) thy do not wish to insult their host.

Well consciousness does not kill and yet the body does, whether it was another body and mind that did so is not excuse for this body and mind to be complicit.

There was an example where some monks were wanting/hoping/praying for some westerners to visit and kill the mosquitoes around the tree they sat under for shade.???

The Jains in a similar strain tend towards non-violence but take several steps further. Many are vegan and will not take from animals, some will sweep the roads before they place a foot others wear face masks so s not to breath in small creatures and filter water from the wells and return any lifeforms.

The Jains do not have intellectual absolutes. In fact they have a logic which has seven functions. That whatever seems to be also seems not to be and indescribable.

However the same failure of conscientiousness fails in that Jains will you other to do business with.

Still how not to be complicit given that there can be no absolute resolution to problems.

The process I seem invited to indulge is an active merging of the body's mind, orientated to consumption and the logic that consciousness has to be immortal.

So it is that I use similar arguments as the Jains, accepting that as there can not be an absolute answer or truth that the best use of the mind is to perform simple functions such as growing food manually, slowly and being aware of the destruction the body relies upon. Minimising such the killing spree is a step not towards an impossible goal but one towards peace of mind. A peace that can only be transcended at death. For peace is not the goal.

That this has been written at all is a part of my culture, my family. The pattern that proceeds this is both logic and imagery. Which of these predates is arguably logic the pattern of which is image. That chronologically this is invoked is a sure sign that the argument is only relative.

My first consciously outward thinking was wanting a family, extending my culture, communicating who I am and securing my being in the wider world.

After I took LSD I saw community as all and language was a problem as it was a product of limited and limiting culture. Logic could be a far better be a tool of communication that would transcend tribes and nationalities.

Then one day I saw around a young maiden, who had dropped out of art school, images that said more than words, yet contained patterns of logic. So my attention turned to she. My desire was based upon my understanding of how I was to love unconditionally yet deep within was my own deception; for I wanted a woman for family and an artist for expression.

Consciously we made love to express the knowledge of infinite ability and the lack of fear of what the future may hold. In other words we were more interested in our own abilities to deal with and dismiss any current fears.

However with the child's vulnerability came increasing concern to earth in the form of family and animal. So I turned my mind more to animal culture. That I had spent enormous effort in reducing the animal consumption and trying to distance myself from it there was a constant battle to minimise the use of consumables. Less a child of the uni-verse.
