[FairfieldLife] Re: Consciousness, was Prarabdha vs Sanchita Karma and Spiritual Liberation (was Greatest Guru)

According to Sam Harris, "there is no scientific evidence that consciousness 
exists in the physical world." 

 This is a physical world and I am conscious. That rather puts the kibbosh on 
that idea.
 

 I suspect that what we have here is a category error. Consciousness isn't a 
thing so you won't ever be able to remove it and dissect it. Consciousness is a 
process, and one that can be measured and predicted, even altered.
 

 So to call this process a noun instead of an verb is your error and why it 
gets so confusing. How the illusion of the outer world is created is still a 
mystery though, but like all mysteries it is fathomable.
