Where I Address the Hard Problem


Where I address the hard problem: 

this is where I address the hard problem of consciousness - my own thought is that there isn't any cause for separation here, that the question itself is misplaced in even asking of its source. Whatever answer is given stands correct in a certain way as everything is the source of consciousness, being sure that it's a biological function, caused by a chemical reactions within the brain, as well as a builtin function of universal intent and design. It's all consciousness, an arrangement of infinite points, seamless in their actions, and that we emerge, somehow, from this creative field of possibilities. 

that every theory of consciousness is correct in its own way. 

even mine. 

and of course I'm certainly wrong, with no way of really knowing how things ultimately are - all I can offer is a description of my own observation brought through countless mornings of deep meditation. Yet that doesn't make it true, and I'm in no way invested in it being so. But it does give me something to write of, an opportunity to be creative with ideas and inspirations. This is where I address the hard problem of consciousness through my own words and understanding, and my view is as valid as any ever offered before, and honestly, it doesn't seem to be a problem much as all...

consciousness is. 

and everything is cause for its emergence.

to even ask why is a task of endless inquiry - the answer is always because of happy accident as well as being evolution, that it's exactly how the universe was designed and we are simply part of its necessary function. Through inquiry we regress to mystery, every point being valid and yet not an ultimate cause at all, proof of our own innocence of answers and free of speculation. Here, life, consciousness...is simply happening, with no reason save its own appearance. 

it's exactly how things are. 

and of course I'm certainly wrong.

but this morning, here, invited by an empty page...this is where I address the hard problem of consciousness.

unconcerned with being right or wrong.

just happily inspired.
