Where does consciousness GO after death?

What is panentheism? Not pantheism

Panentheism (/pæˈnɛnθiɪzəm/, "all in God" from the Greek πᾶν, pân, "all," ἐν, en, "in," and Θεός, Theós, "God") [2] is the belief that the divine intersects every part of the universe and also extends beyond space and time.

The term was coined by the German philosopher Karl Krause in 1828 (after reviewing Hindu scriptures) to distinguish the ideas of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831) and Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling (1775–1854) about the relation of God and the universe from the supposed pantheism of Baruch Spinoza [2].

Unlike pantheism, which holds that the divine and the universe are identical [3], panentheism maintains an ontological distinction between the divine and the non-divine and the significance of both.

In panentheism, the universal spirit is present everywhere, which at the same time "transcends" all things created. Whilst pantheism asserts that "all is God," panentheism claims that God is greater than the universe.

Some versions of panentheism suggest that the universe is nothing more than the manifestation of God. In addition, some forms indicate that the universe is contained within God [3], like in the Jewish Kabbalistic concept of tzimtzum.

Much of Hindu thought is highly characterized by panentheism and pantheism [4, 5].

In philosophy

ANCIENT GREEK PHILOSOPHY

The religious beliefs of Neoplatonism can be regarded as panentheistic. Plotinus taught that there was an ineffable transcendent God ("the One," to En, τὸ Ἕν) of which subsequent realities were emanations.

From "the One" emanates the Divine Mind (Nous, Νοῦς) and the Cosmic Soul (Psyche, Ψυχή). In Neoplatonism the world itself is God (according to Plato's Timaeus 37).

This concept of divinity is associated with that of the Logos (Λόγος), which had originated centuries earlier with Heraclitus (c. 535–475 BC). The Logos pervades the cosmos, whereby all thoughts and all things originate, or as Heraclitus said:

"He who hears not me but the Logos will say: All is one."

Neoplatonists such as Iamblichus attempted to reconcile this perspective by adding another hypostasis above the original monad of force or Dynamis (Δύναμις).

This new all-pervasive monad encompassed all creation and its original uncreated emanations. Modern philosophy Baruch Spinoza later claimed that "Whatsoever is, is in God, and without God nothing can be, or be conceived" [6],

"Individual things are nothing but modifications of the attributes of God, or modes by which the attributes of God are expressed in a fixed and definite manner" [7]. Though Spinoza has been called the "prophet" [8] and "prince" [9] of pantheism, in a letter to Henry Oldenburg Spinoza states that:

"as to the view of certain people that I identify god with nature (taken as a kind of mass or corporeal matter), they are quite mistaken" [10].

For Spinoza, our universe (cosmos) is a mode under two attributes of Thought and Extension. God has infinitely many other attributes which are not present in our world.

BUDDHIST PHILOSOPHY

Reverend Zen Master Soyen Shaku was the first Zen Buddhist abbot to tour the United States in 1905–1906. He wrote a series of essays collected into the book Zen For Americans.

In the essay titled "The God Conception of Buddhism" he attempts to explain how a Buddhist looks at the ultimate without an anthropomorphic [androcentric] God figure while still being able to relate to the term God in a Buddhist sense:

"At the outset, let me state that Buddhism is not atheistic as the term is ordinarily understood. It has certainly a God, the highest reality and truth, through which and in which this universe exists. However, the followers of Buddhism usually avoid the term God, for it savors so much of Christianity, whose spirit is not always exactly in accord with the Buddhist interpretation of religious experience.

"Again, Buddhism is not pantheistic in the sense that it identifies the universe with God. On the other hand, the [Mahayana] Buddhist God is absolute and transcendent; this world, being merely its manifestation, is necessarily fragmental and imperfect.

"To define more exactly the Buddhist notion of the highest being, it may be convenient to borrow the term very happily coined by a modern German scholar, 'panentheism,' according to which God is πᾶν καὶ ἕν (all and one) and more than the totality of existence [17, 18]."

The essay then goes on to explain first utilizing the term "God" for the American audience to get an initial understanding of what he means by "panentheism" and then discusses the terms that Buddhism uses in place of 'God' such as Dharmakaya [the body of the Dharma], Buddha or Adi-Buddha, and Tathagata [Well Gone One, Welcome One, Suchness]. More

Is science on verge of 'consciousness'?

The Origins and History of Consciousness (Erich Neumann)

Is science slowly stumbling on the fact that "consciousness" is impersonal and continues after death? We wouldn't like to think so because that does not accord with what is comfortable, and science doesn't ask big questions with easy answers.

It instead proceeds in tiny increments as it develops theories to explain larger data sets. A recent study on consciousness brings up the suggestion that human consciousness could be a side effect of entropy (sciencealert.com).

*Sarcasm* What? It's not the pinnacle of evolution and existence, the greatest thing in the universe, the end all be all proving that souls exist and are invincible and immortal?

Cosmic Consciousness (R.M. Bucke)

• VIDEO: Consciousness: The Fundamental Reality
• VIDEO: Tracking a thought as it moves through the brain is quite remarkable
• The mystery of "consciousness" shows there may be a limit to what science alone can achieve
• Pantheism: What if absolutely everything is conscious?

Dr. Bruce Lipton, Ph.D.

The shocking truth (anatta) is too much to handle for most people, who invariably misinterpret it to mean that things are eternal or things are annihilated, and there's no other possibility. Imagine if both extremes in view were wrong. They are. We neither carry on through death forever, nor are we annihilated at death. Spiritists and materialists both have it wrong.

Hidden Spring (Mark Solms)

Things are dependently originated. What arises does so dependent on conditions (so they do not really arise except as an illusion with the illusory marks of permanence, fulfillment, and personality).

In fact, we find, the three opposite Marks of Existence (ti-lakkhana) are present. Ultimately, "things" that arise dependent on causes and conditions are impermanent, disappointing, and impersonal.

Brain is not base of consciousness, which pervades all things we are conscious of. Anencephaly

Physics of Expanded Consciousness

But will science ever come to that conclusion? Not likely. The goal of science is not enlightenment and liberation from the round of rebirth and suffering. (How can something even be said to be "reborn" if it cannot, like a moving river, be said to persist unchanged for two consecutive moments? It can).

Top theory on where consciousness comes from

The Top Theory on Where Consciousness Comes From | Stuart Hameroff

What is "consciousness," the magic of retroflex self-awareness or "awareness" of any kind? Is it inherent in the universe, a quality of materiality, a spiritual component in the material world, a material locus in an illusory spiritual world? Although the Buddha 26 centuries ago laid out the process of consciousness, vinnana, in stark detail, that has not been good enough for a Western science ignorant of it. However, it is nearly certain that the definition, characteristics, and meaning of these consciousness-es would never satisfy the West because here in the U.S. and European countries, we imagine something more to consciousness than an impersonal (empty, essenceless, selfless) process. Because we (a collection of impersonal processes) are aware, we search in vain for something tangible, permanent, viable, and personal behind all of the apparent change, unpleasantness, and stark reality of what is just a constituted (dependently originated) process and not a thing in and of itself. If we go in search of self, we must at some point come to consciousness. If consciousness is misunderstood and clung to as self, there will be suffering and identification with that suffering. Unless things (the Five Aggregates clung to as self) as seen as they really are, there will be no letting go, no freedom, no liberation, and no awakening from the illusion of it all. In that spirit, the West keeps searching. And here's one theory about where "consciousness" comes from and therefore, to some extent, what it is.

Ajahn Brahm: Buddhist idea of consciousness

(BSV Dhamma Talks) Found this video useful? Remember to subscribe (Dhamma Talks) and forward it to friends who would benefit from the Dharma teachings.

SPEAKER

Western monks and nuns now teach Dharma.

Ajahn Brahmavamso Mahathera (lovingly known to most as Ajahn Brahm) was born Peter Betts in London, United Kingdom, on August 7, 1951.

He came from a working-class background but won a scholarship to study theoretical physics at Cambridge University in the late 1960s. After graduating from Cambridge, he taught in high school for a year before travelling to Thailand to become a Theravada Buddhist monk and train with Ajahn Chah Bodhinyana Mahathera ["great elder," a monk of many annual Rains Retreats].

• Ajahn Brahm | Buddhist Society of Western Australia (bswa.org)

Awakened Ajahn Brahm is a happy monk.

While still in his years as a junior monk in training, he was asked to undertake the compilation of an English-language guide to the Buddhist Monastic Code -- the Vinaya -- which later became the basis for monastic discipline in many Theravada Buddhist monasteries in Western countries.

BUDDHIST CENTER

While registered as a Buddhist not-for-profit association, the Buddhist Society of Victoria (BSV) welcomes members of all backgrounds and all religions. Located in Melbourne, Australia, the East Malvern center hosts programs that guide members in meditation as well as practical Buddhist teachings for adults, kids, and teenagers.

Its spiritual advisor is Ajahn Brahm, the abbot of Bodhinyana Monastery located in Western Australia. For more information, see: bsv.net.au.

FOREST MONASTERY

Fully ordained Theravada Buddhist nuns, AU

Newbury Buddhist Monastery is 70 minutes from the heart of the City of Melbourne. The magnificent landscape and tranquil surroundings offer an inspiring backdrop for social seclusion and serene meditation.

With its establishment, both male and female spiritual aspirants can seek out full Buddhist monastic ordination. This supports the cultivation of Buddhist teachers who in return share Dharma teachings across the world.

How science / Buddhism study consciousness

Dr. Joel Frohlich (UCLA's Monti Lab), Pam Weintraub (ed.), Aeon.co; Eds., Wisdom Quarterly

To say what "consciousness" is, science explores where it isn't

Who needs a brain, eh Gazoo?

In 2014, a month-long bout of dizziness and vomiting brought a 24-year-old woman in China to the hospital. She was no stranger to these symptoms: She’d never been able to walk steadily and suffered from dizziness nearly her whole life. These were serious, debilitating symptoms.

Yet, they might have seemed almost mild once CT ("cat scan") and MRI scans presented a diagnosis: The woman was missing the majority of her brain. Most of the parts of her brain were present:

• cerebral cortex, the largest, outermost part of the brain responsible for most of our thinking and cognition,
• subcortex and the midbrain, with their myriad functions involving movement, memory, and body regulation,
• brainstem, essential for controlling breathing, sleep, and communicating with the rest of the body.

Dr. Joel Frohlich, Ph.D., UCLA post doc

But none of these areas hold the majority of the brain’s currency, neurons, the cells that fire impulses to transmit information or relay motor commands.

This distinction goes to the cerebellum, a structure situated behind the brainstem and below the cerebral cortex. Latin for "little brain," the highly compact cerebellum occupies only 10 per cent of the brain’s volume yet contains somewhere between 50 and 80 per cent of the brain’s neurons.

.

Neurons are the "currency" of the brain (wiki).

It was in this sense that the hospitalized Chinese woman was missing the majority of her brain.

Incredibly, she had been born without a cerebellum, but she had made it through nearly two and a half decades of life without even knowing it was missing.

The crude instruments of science chasing blood

Compare that with strokes and lesions of the cerebral cortex, whose neuron-count is a fraction of the cerebellum’s. These patients can lose the ability to recognize colors or faces and to comprehend language -- or they might develop what’s known as a "disorder of consciousness," a condition resulting in loss of responsiveness or any conscious awareness at all.

Understanding consciousness might be the greatest scientific challenge of our time [the hard problem of consciousness].

.

How can physical stuff like electrical impulses explain mental stuff like dreams or the sense of self? Why does a network of neurons in the brain feel like an experience when a network of computers or a network of people does not? More

Does Buddhism have a better way to study consciousness?

Dhr. Seven, Sayalay Aloka, Wisdom Quarterly, May 20, 2020

The "mind door" is in the heart not head.

The massive collection (pitaka) of Buddhist literature known as the Abhidharma ("Higher Doctrine" or the "teaching in ultimate terms," which means all things explained not in the conventional language of the discourses or sutras but in ultimate technical terms) explains consciousness in excruciating detail.

One does not embark upon an intellectual study of it if one hopes to really directly understand consciousness.

Many scholar-monks waste their time commenting and splitting hairs. But practitioners come to know-and-see these things.

The Buddha (Gandhara)

That is the purpose of Buddhism, to directly see mind-and-body (nama-rupa, defined as the Five Aggregates clung to as "self"), by Buddhist physics and psychology, to let go and awaken to reality.

This is done through a process (path) of mental purification first, to strengthen the medium through which this understanding will arise.

Scientists should take a cue from this and abstain from alcohol and obtunding drugs, junk foods, toxins, distractions, sleep deprivation, rushing and hurrying, and ego inflation before doing their science of experimental design, research execution, and honest reporting of results. The process purifies:

• virtue (peace-inducing morality)
• concentration (collectedness, mental coherence)
• insight (wisdom, direct knowledge).

It is not empirical and objective to prove what is true to everyone else, but personal and subjective to prove what is true to oneself.

Man, this is cool, all scientifical like Spock!

Meditators realizing enlightenment (awakening) know-and-see four things and are thereby liberated by wisdom. It becomes possible to let go and make a complete end of suffering.

Scientists, on the other hand, are likely to be karmically destroyed by their discoveries and inventions, the knowledge they develop that then gets out of their control and abused, or the technology and weapons that are then developed based on their basic research.

Ah, this is much better. The Buddha was right!

Where does psychology ("the study of mind") go? To help increase sales, control people, get them addicted to gambling and other things, develop dangerous pharmaceuticals, public relations, and so on. Where does enlightenment ("personal realization") go? To complete peace, to the marriage of wisdom and compassion, to the end of all suffering. It's good that we have both science and Buddhist practice in the world.

Scientists: “mind” isn’t confined to brain

Olivia Goldhill (qz.com, 12/24/16); Dhr. Seven, Pat Macpherson (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Scientists say “mind” isn’t confined to brain, or even to this body

Ever wonder what’s going on in another person’s mind? Ever get a compliment for having a great mind, or ask if someone is out of theirs? Ever try to expand or free the mind?

But what is a mind? Defining the concept is a surprisingly slippery task. The mind is the seat of consciousness, the essence of our being [aware]. Without a mind, we cannot be considered meaningfully alive. So what exactly, and where precisely, is it?

• 

  This whole tail and bulb is a brain.

  [According to Buddhism, "mind" (mano or nama) is a mind-body process comprised partly of consciousness (vinnana), which is composed of mind-moments and mental factors (cittas and cetasikas). It is located physically in the area of the heart, and this can be directly investigated and confirmed by gaining absorption, emerging, and reviewing the area of the heart to see the mind door. If one looks between the ears, one will not see mind. See the meditation techniques of Ven. Pa Auk Sayadaw for details.]

Yeah, this part got no blood, a stroke of insight...

Traditionally, scientists have tried to define "mind" as the product of brain activity: The brain is the physical substance, and mind is the conscious product of those firing neurons, according to the classic argument.

But growing evidence shows that the mind goes far beyond the physical workings of the brain. [And the size of "the brain" is underestimated because most of it is not in the cranium but extends down the brainstem and spinal column. See Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor holding one whole brain.]

Mind (Dr. Dan Siegel, MD)

No doubt, the brain plays an incredibly important role. But the human mind cannot be confined to what’s inside the skull, or even the body, according to a definition first put forward by Dr. Dan Siegel, a professor of psychiatry at UCLA's School of Medicine and the author of Mind: A Journey to the Heart of Being Human.

He first came up with the definition more than two decades ago, at a meeting of 40 scientists across disciplines, including neuroscientists, physicists, sociologists, and anthropologists.

My Stroke of Insight (Taylor)

The aim was to come to an understanding of the mind that would appeal to many and serve as common ground, satisfying those wrestling with the question across various academic fields.

After much discussion, they decided that a key component of the mind is “the emergent self-organizing process, both embodied and relational, that regulates energy and information flow within and among us.”

It’s not catchy. But it is interesting with meaningful implications. The most immediately shocking element of this definition is that our mind extends beyond our physical selves.

• 

  The Buddha on mind-body

  [In Buddhism, "self" (atta or atman) is defined in a very detailed way as those things (groups or clusters of things) we cling to as a self. The Buddha called them the Five Aggregates or heaps -- form, feelings, perceptions, formations (such as volitions), and consciousness. When one speaks of a self, it is usually in reference to one or more of these. Or these things are regarded as the property and possession of a self. This is the "me," the "I," the "ego," or the possessions of a "self." Ultimately, however, it is an illusion. There is no self behind these impersonal processes. But because there exists the thought that there is, clinging happens. What clings? There is no clinger, but form forms, feelings feel, perception perceives, mental formations will (among other things), and consciousness is conscious. The Abhidharma explains all of this is minute detail; moreover, it may be known-and-seen directly and enlightenment realized by calm meditation and liberating-insight.]

We're looking at the prefrontal cortex (TED).

In other words, our mind is not simply our perception of experiences, but those experiences themselves. Dr. Siegel argues that it’s impossible to completely disentangle our subjective view of the world from our interactions.

“I realized if someone asked me to define the shoreline but insisted, is it the water or the sand, I would have to say the shore is both sand and sea,” says Dr. Siegel. “You can’t limit our understanding of the coastline to insist it’s one or the other.

Is the "shoreline" land OR sea? Which one?

“I started thinking, maybe the mind is like the coastline — some inner and inter process. Mental life for an anthropologist or sociologist is profoundly social. Your thoughts, feelings, memories, attention, what you experience in this subjective world is part of mind.”

By Olivia Goldhill

The definition has since been supported by research across the sciences, but much of the original idea came from mathematics.

Dr. Siegel realized the mind meets the mathematical definition of a complex system in that it’s open (which means it can influence things outside itself), chaos capable (which, simply put, means it’s roughly randomly distributed), and non-linear (which means a small input leads to large and difficult to predict result).

Looking for Consciousness (Dr. Dispenza)

Dr. Joe Dispenza via Good Vibez, 4/12/19; Pat Macpherson, Dhr. Seven (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

►Video (Dr. Joe Dispenza's How to Use Your Conscious Mind) uploaded with permission of the owner

What is consciousness?

Matthieu, scientists want to test Buddhist brains meditating. - Should I go blow their minds?

.

The brain (rupa) is not the mind. Cittas are.

Neuroscientists asked the Dalai Lama for eight Buddhist meditators to scan their brains in an experiment. What the scientists saw baffled them. There was too much frontal lobe activity. One in particular, they declared, must be "the happiest man in the world."

You want to test 8 meditators?

That may have been Matthieu Ricard, the actual "happiest person in the world." He is a European Vajrayana Buddhist monk from France, a close associate of the 14th Dalai Lama, who lives in the Himalayas in a large Buddhist monastery in Nepal one country over from the Dalai Lama in Dharmsala, India.

Dr. Joe Dispenza uses his own functional definitions of "brain," "mind," and "consciousness," treating them as distinct things.

That is the way they are analyzed int Buddhist psychology and physics (Abhidharma, the "Dharma in Ultimate Terms"). In Buddhism they are called rupa, mano/nama, and vinnana. Of course, they are inseparable, but they are distinguishable.

Let's visit the Dalai Lama lives in Dharmsala.

Physical form: The brain is interdependent with consciousness, which is just a process, an aspect of "mind." (though the physical heart is the real seat of consciousness, the "mind door" in Buddhism, which is a personally verifiable fact anyone can check using this meditation).

The Buddha defined mind-and-body (nama-rupa) in terms of eight elements, though no one seems to have told Dr. Dispenza that.

• "Brain" (body, physical form, ultimate materiality) is comprised of the "Four Great Elements" or mahabhuta (dhatus, the characteristics of matter, "matter" being arrangements of subatomic particles Buddhism calls kalapas).
• Space (akasha-dhatu) is the fifth element.
• "Mind" is four immaterial processes: perception, sensation, formations, and consciousness.
• "Consciousness" is classified as the sixth element in some sutras (i.e., MN 140).

Let's ask Pa Auk Sayadaw to explain. - Good idea

Consciousness is the sixth element? Yes, as if to say that consciousness is a feature of the universe rather than merely a quality or characteristic of mental human experience.

There are other beings (devas, etc.) who also have mind, who are also conscious, but one has to wonder if the animists didn't have it right all along: consciousness is everywhere and, therefore, all things are potentially conscious or aware in some rudimentary sense, like crystals, memory banks, imprint holders.

.

Sight is in the eye, consciousness in the heart.

The brain, for Dr. Dispenza and Western neuroscience, is firing and wiring neurons. How do we change our lives? How do we change our habits? This can only be done by breaking negative thoughts, and this is possible by living consciously (mindfully?) We have to become; we have to start living consciously. Let's start by breaking the addiction to negative thoughts.
