The Primacy of Consciousness

The First Basic Essence of Existence

This page gave to me a clear statement of the understanding based in both historical wisdom literature and in modern Western science, that consciousness underlies all. Like most who have been born into a materialistic scientific world, and with the same experience of others of hitting something and getting hurt, the concept that we are in a sense deluded about the "real" nature of things, is still hard to accept, despite my blog explorings. But this article explained really well how it might be understood, from a basis of rationality. And if its true, its amazing, as the writer says. I had one of those "flashes" with this article. You know, seeing it, not thinking about it. I think I've been gestalted! I am going to have to meditate a bit more, I can see that.
And I had to share with you too. This is what the core of being is about. If we are mistaken, "deluded" about the core of what existence is, it subtly effects our whole way of being and how we understand the Great Drama we find ourselves in. Until we get the hub of the wheel centred,
the rest of the wheel will wobble most uncomfortably.
