This requires nonsense like soul(s).
Consciousness is a caricature artist. It lies constantly.
Why would I want to believe it's God or the Big Unity, if I know it's a liar?
Come on dude, Advaita and Trika are bullshit, get with Taoist and Nahua process monism, ya bitch

Mind is only an object of experience , one is only known when the observer is observed
>Belief
Only knowledge through brutal realization that cuts all illusions .
Mind and body are unstable and changing how can your real self be unstable and changing?merely a suit one would inhabit upon incarnation, problems of the mind and body are not your problems just as the problems of your car are problems of the car and not the self.

Wishful thinking.
You *hope* that there's an observer (how is such NOT "mind"?) And you *hope* it's external and eternal.
As for these statements about the "real" self, how do you know any self is real at all?
Maya-shakti controls even Mahavishnu. How can you hope to do anything without getting on Adi Parashakti's good side?
Which would be hope for grace.

Faith upon faith.
Say as much and realize your ideology is as flawed as any other.

Fuck, you don't even understand process Metaphysics anyway, what's the point

>hope
There is no center in the brain for observing the brain
In direct knowledge all illusion is dispelled , the knower the known and knowledge are one
The sun ,moon and fire.

To the unrealized it seems unreal due to Maya, you only have to observe the observer .

Your mind is in fact that model, the brain modeling itself using consciousness. That's why it's so problematic.
Direct experience is consciousness. Consciousness is a caricature artist and a liar.

You should though

>There is nothing more futile than to consciously look for something to save you. But consciousness makes this fact seem otherwise. Consciousness makes it seem as if (1) there is something to do; (2) there is somewhere to go; (3) there is something to be; (4) there is someone to know. This is what makes consciousness the parent of all horrors, the thing that makes us try to do something, go somewhere, be something, and know someone, such as ourselves, so that we can escape our MALIGNANTLY USELESS being and think that being alive is all right rather than that which should not be.

“Once we become conscious, even dimly, of the Atman, the Reality within us, the world takes on a very different aspect. It is no longer a court of justice but a kind of gymnasium. Good and evil, pain and pleasure, still exist, but they seem more like the ropes and vaulting-horses and parallel bars which can be used to make our bodies strong. Maya is no longer an endlessly revolving wheel of pain and pleasure but a ladder which can be climbed to consciousness of the Reality.”
― Adi Shankaracarya

The experiencer is your body.
Attention is a physical process and it tracks things. Awareness is when attention tracks itself, Consciousness emerges from that, a modeler, it takes the sense data tracked by attention, and makes a quick sketch limited enough to be acted upon irl, while rich enough to be useful.
There's no magic ghost watching all this.
