    The awareness or consciousness is the attribution of the functions of cells. If some of the brain cells die you are in coma and not aware or conscious yet you are living. Therefore my consciousness or awareness is not a reflection of anything. Your deliberations are more fanciful and verbose than logical.

    I have a question, all the 3 theories postulates the existence of non concious entities like mind and body to limit/reflect/make conciousness appear as the other. So does this not then mean samkya philosophy which postulates existence of 2 fundamental realities of consciousness and matter is correct? How is it then advaita i.e. single reality is true since we need other entities to reflect consciousness?

      @ please explain your statement. Who are these “ we”? This is a fundamental question of Vedanta. Who am I?? I’m not the body mind and senses. So exactly whom are you talking about?? So you need to explain yourself. Your question was answered beautifully by Ramana Maharishi. If one thinks the world is real and if we are all individuals, ( souls or otherwise) then that would be the case for that individual. If we realise that there’s only consciousness, then there will not be any questions either. Everything arises and disappears in consciousness. Consciousness is, rest isn’t. I’m paraphrasing Maharishi’s words here. ( if it is there, it is there, if it is not, then it it is not)

You may have sharp intelligence but you have not entered into that space and without pure experience that Shree Ramakrishna or Shree Vivekanada has. You may very well explain like a good teacher who explain the experience of things that Scientists experimented , discovered and experienced. At the end of day it's intellectual exercise. Not pure experience.

    this is one take of Turiya. another one is Sat- chit- ananda, and the Turiya is the 4th. basically what Turiya means - you are not that. whatever "that" may be. because what you are is beyond description. You may say - you are nothing and you are everything, but in the sense of logic - that make no sense at all, even if on another level, it is perfectly true. Turiya is the mystic dimension of yourself, that can't be translated by words. Why? because words are invention of logic/mind, and Turiya goes beyond logic/mind. That is why it is beyond any description. Turiya is not part of an experience. experience needs 3 parts. object, subject and the process. Turiya has none of those. Turiya is unity of all those. When I say unity - it negates all 3 aspects as separate. Turiya is ultimately the state of being. 2nd. Sutra of Yoga Sutras is describing the state of Turiya. satori is one example of having a glimpse of Turiya.

    Words have varying definitions, each person carries various associations. When we have discarded this level of awareness, Yes, and no. We normally view the world, filtered through our false mind created egoic self, with its’ collection of images. When you mediate/meditate present senses, take two steps back to I, one step forward to I am, awareness of awareness of consciousness is visible with the veil removed. At times, you may then dance with I = i am. The indescribable / describable union. Rest, awaken refreshed, chop wood, carry water, bake bread.

    There is simply no hard problem of consciousness in Advaita. It is the consciousness that produces brain instead of an inert matter like brain producing consciousness. Our minds only reflect the consciousness that is all pervading and this reflected Consciousness in the mind is what produces the sense of "I"ness or individuality or ego. For example, let's assume electricity is consciousness in this context and is everywhere. Electricity produces sound in a radio and heat in a iron box. But electricity when passed through a rock doesn't produce anything. The deficiency doesn't lie in the electricity but the rock. The human body is simply an amazing machine that can perceive/manifest consciousness.
