The implication of the second and third sentences is false and inadmissable in the way that the OP would like, regardless of the sense in which the "TV signal" is to be taken (whether coming from the network to the television set, or from the individual set as information specific to it).

Under that assertion, how can our state of consciousness be altered by drugs or temporarily erased altogether in the case of e.g. anesthesia?

Isn't. Already told you, fallibilism. If reality is an illusion that requires epistemic justification to assert. Same as every other claim. Guess what? To do so you would use... induction. Classifying everything as illusory on a deductive basis fails one of the utmost crucial steps in soundness: Differentiating imagination from reality.

Or I can put it to you as a question: If you've two axiomatic systems that are equally rational, how do you determine which one is the case? You use induction and test them in the reality you appear to be in. You're just a presup, none of this is new.

When you split things apart like this you cause incoherence. Better to say that the brain is sort of an icon representing something consciousness is "doing"... For us, it is "being a person" which means some mixture of our 5 senses and memory etc going on... And the brain is directly exactly tied to that experience...

So not like a signal the brain is picking up on like the TV you mention. But consciousness as the actual substance of all of reality... Understood as the "substance" of reality, it has no relation to do with the human mind etc, and is itself literally nothing...

Middle grounds between materialism and idealism aren't very coherent and don't hold up. And to understand consciousness in the idealistic sense, you possibly have to find what you are and experience that. As it's instinctual to believe the content of consciousness is = to it, hence believing dementia or "unconsciousness" shows some change in a level of consciousness. Though no such level exists.

You are appearing in it. Same as your thoughts and such. And your body and brain is what it looks like from third person.

And to make sense of that, then you need to know what "consciousness" is in these proposals. Which has nothing to do with how alert a human is, or whether someone has dementia, or is in a coma etc. When it is proposed as the foundation of reality, think of it more as literal nothingness. That is closer. Consciousness is a trash word because of heavily ingrained ideas about what that means.

When you get put under for surgery, you are instantly hours later in the recovery room. The perception of space and time is gone. It's completely seamless from counting down from 10 to the recovery room (some people are a bit delirious for a while ofc). Imagine the anaesthetic never wore off... Instead of that exact instant after the "loss of consciousness" being waking up and everyone is telling you the surgery went great etc, the universe would end and everyone and everything would end with you as there would be no more experience.

To other people, time and space would continue, but for you all of that is instantaneous. That is what I mean. For everyone who dies, that is the case. They aren't experiencing this, for them the universe has already ended. So to be very pedantic the universe and everyone in it essentially dies with you as far as anyone of us has to be concerned.

Because it's not possible to give any substance to a thing unless it is perceived... Think of atoms. Imagine them rn. What do you imagine? Probably tiny little spheres... The tiny little spheres you're imagining can't be what atoms are like, because the appearance of a sphere depends on visual perception... If you were blind maybe you'd imagine the feel of a tiny golf ball. Same thing, can't be what it's like because touch is made of perceptions in the person's mind.

So if we do think of a real physical sphere shape, say, what actually is it when it isn't explained in terms of something that requires a mental perception? Mathematical equations. Interactions with other things (which does not show what the thing is, only that it interacts with another apparent thing in a certain way).

I would not call math a physical substance. The way things actually look like is how blind people see things. Nothing. Not even black. That's how real things are.

I personally think it goes both ways, assuming that consciousness is external and not a fundamental property of matter. I don't have an evidence to prove that consciousness is external other than OBEs and remote viewing testimonies of other people, but anyone who's conscious and knows what consciousness is should be able to realize that it is inconceivable that consciousness is an "emergent property" of non-conscious matter. How could non-conscious matter be conscious? If consciousness is not external, separate from matter, then it has to be a fundamental property of matter itself (in a similar way to "charge" or "mass").

TO GET TO MY POINT: Assume that consciousness is separate from matter. The fact that we experience qualia is the brain acting as a transmitter, and the fact that we can physically communicate about consciousness is an effect of consciousness on the physical body, that is, the brain acting as a receiver. It must go both ways.

"Emergent property" means something that exists as the sum of something, it cannot be reduced to its constituent components and have the same functionality. I.e. it isn't a part of something, it is the whole thing.

For example:
>tissue is the emergent property from many different types of cells working in unity;
>an organ is the emergent property from many different tissues working in unity;
>an organ system is the emergent property of many different organs working in unity;
>a multicellular organism is the emergent property of many different organ system working in unity
>a tribe is the emergent property of many different organisms working in unity;
>and so on, and so on
At no level is man reducable to a clump of molecules, or better yet quantum foam if you go all the way down, yet that is what he is in a purely reductionist sense, yet that doesn't explain what we see as a whole.

Understanding this, we can say, "consciousness" does not exist on a cellular level within the brain, yet it does when all the regions of the brain are acting in unity. Therefore we can say, consciousness emerges from a neural network. Yet at the same time, a concensus of consciousness emerges from many different organisms working in unity, so it can also be said consciousness is multidimensional. It exists at the individual level, but it also exists at the group level. Herd mentality, the laws of the land, the zeitgeist you are apart of, the culture you are steeped in, the ideology you and others identify with, for example.

Brain scans are irrelevant. It makes literally no difference to anyone with understanding of what nonduality entails, no contradiction. Telepathy is bullshit, magick is bullshit, law of attraction is bullshit. NO contradiction.

Panpsychism is when a materialist has a shocking altered state of understanding and tries to fit what was apparent to them into a materialist metaphysics. Which is the default view for 90% of people. And then they understand more and will become idealistic. Panpsychism is bullshit, antennas and signals are bullshit. It's people not making the full inversion necessary.

Idealism is a total inversion. Nothing actually changes except how you view things. No practical difference.

And then we will say "see! The brain makes this!"

This is because of misunderstanding.

People still don't understand what consciousness even is. That's why people think animals and insects "have less consciousness" or that rocks "have no consciousness". And also why people think comas or death remove consciousness or dementia reduces consciousness. Because they don't understand what it is... Death and comas removes the person from consciousness.

It's the awkward growing pains stage of understanding. You grow up your entire life with a belief system, the belief system gets blown to smithereens in front of your eyes, and you start trying to understand wtf happened... At first, this involves sort of mish-mashing existing belief systems into what was revealed to you, because you don't know wtf to make of what happened.

There is one existence, one "is"ness to things. Everything which "is", is it.

It doesn't mean that.

As humans we experience a finite component of reality. We don't even experience UV except the effects that it leaves us with. Usually when people hear ideas like this, they think things like "I leave a room and water still boils, explain that"? It's not about whether the water boils, it's about what the water is "like" when you leave the room, and it is "like" nothing. Being "like" something is necessarily experiential, so the way reality actually looks so to speak, is like nothing at all. And I personally don't call that substance. For the purposes of running experiments it might be a useful term. But I think of it as having as much substance as a number.

Existence is not comprised of your human mind. Your human mind is an appearance happening within it. Your thoughts and sensory experiences are appearances happening in it. Does sad feel you, or do you feel sad? All things which are things are observed by you. All "things" are not the source of existence, but its manifestations so to speak.

You can find that you too, are substantially nothingness, with enough introspection. All there is to you is a changing appearance of "things", which ultimately always vanishes back into nothingness. Which is what is the very thing observing those "things" is... Thought comes, thought goes. When it goes, it is nothing. Nothing is what you are... All things are nothing ultimately. And unlike things and substance, nothing is without limit, beginning, end, or quality. ALL things have a limit somewhere. If all limit is removed there is nothing.

Consciousness is a poisoned term. It's inherently nothing. The serious heavy meditations can allow you to find this first hand if you were curious to find that you are inherently nothingness.

Water is the same when you are in room and when you aren't. You can record video of boiling water when you are in room and when you aren't. The two videos will be essentially the same. This means boiling of water in independent of human presence.
>Being "like" something is necessarily experiential
It's necessary only for human experience, but human altogether isn't necessary for water's existence, so whatever human needs is irrelevant for water.

Both the real boiling water, and the image on your recording of it, are created by the presence of the same perception! A blind person seeing your recording would not see the water right?

It is not only human experience, but experience altogether. Can a bat experience seeing water? Probably. But with sonar. Their image of it is likely entirely alien to what ours is. But their sonar perception gives the water a "thingness" which is what I am addressing. When anyone imagines what the world is like outside of them, very few people imagine endless literal nothingness (not even black).

When things aren't perceived they are "like" nothing. Which you did then point out yourself. This is the important part.

This is something different from the existence of said "things". There could be nobody watching OR recording the water, and it still boils. But I think substantially speaking, the water, atoms, entire cosmos, you, me = nothingness. I don't believe material ANYWHERE in any direction, or universe, is any more real and solid than material in a dream. That is what I am trying to say.

Awareness itself = nothingness (can be shown if you want, or discovered). The phenomenal images of experience = substantially nothing. Things not experienced = substantially nothing.

No substance ever... Whether it's useful to use the term is a different matter to the reality of it.

You remember all those stories about anthropologists contacting isolated tribesmen, trying to teach them some modern concepts like numbers, and discovering that the tribesmen just can't fathom stuff accessible to the average 5 years old, no matter what? It's the same here. The people you're talking to have absolutely no concept of what you're saying. They can't fathom the difference between their upright monkey mental models and reality. They can't fathom that there can be a difference. They will never get what you're saying. Why do you bother?

Our brain and consciousness are tightly integrated with each other. The consciousness doesn't just send signals to the brain, it also receives them, and relies on such input for its basic functions.
If you destroy the brain, the consciousness may survive, but it will lose the ability to function properly. Furthermore, since the brain serves as the main memory storage, you would also lose all your knowledge.
And once you reach the state where you know nothing and can't function properly, claiming that you've survived is like claiming that our body keeps living after our death just because its atoms don't disintegrate.
