Since anything I know about…….. I know through being conscious (aware) of it……
… I can't know anything about ............what is antecedent to consciousness/awareness.
A term like "the absolute" is only relevant to a mind that uses language terms in relativity.
I.e....a term like "absolute" is contrasted with "relative" or "transient" .
Antecedent to consciousness/awareness, there is no contrasts…..
….. no terminology …. neither characteristics…. nor any lack of characteristics.
Of course the very term “antecedent” immediately brings in contrast and a characteristic.
So what is it to be aware without a reference point…. without an available contrast?
And “to be aware” …….is it not another reference point?
Is it a matter of knowing something about it?
Is such a knowing .........antecedent to consciousness/awareness?
And yet there is talking about it, pixelling about it…..... it's all fun and games.
Fun and games for a mind that has no point…… to establish an existence for itself …
….or a continuity of itself.
And … the things that mind deals with…….get dealt with each day…
.. aka…. going to work…
….. buying bananas...... giving a hug to a friend .....or a black eye to a foe.
