Time present and time past are both perhaps present in time future, and time future contained in time past. If all time is eternally present all time is unredeemable. What might have been is an abstraction remaining a perpetual possibility only in a world of speculation. What might have been and what has been point to one end, which is always present. T.S. Eliot

Can you elaborate on the assumption that consciousness is not situated in the body/brain/material? Obviously with damaging brain material a decrease in understood consciousness can occur. I'd guess that you would counter this and say that the individual consciousness that we experience is already a reduction of the 'expanded consciousness' which humans can experience under certain spiritual experiences; though it does not really provide an explaination for the further reduction of an individual consciousness experience in the event of brain damage - which ofcourse can be measured and is therefor a proven fact.
Yes absolutely, but what will make it easier for you to understand is if you can elaborate on why it’s an assumption? We have to first see how I define consciousness. Consciousness is simply the knowing or aware aspect of experience. The mind is that which consciousness perceives. Therefore the brain is also that which consciousness perceives and is what we could call a localisation of the mind. When the brain gets damaged, that says nothing about the knowing aspect of experience. So I agree it’s proven that the brain being damaged can effect our state of mind, but it does not change the pure knowing aspect of experience. Pure knowing is not a function or appearance or object of the mind. It stands outside the mind. We know this experientially by checking if there is any thought, image or perception required in order to know that I am aware? We find there is one. So with that being said, what is the question you’d like to ask? I see no problem here with what you’ve said really. I would add, There’s no “degree” of understood consciousness. There is simply knowing. Awareness. Even if we don’t know what we are aware of because of brain damage, we are, and can never not be aware. Even if we were to be knocked out by anestesia, we don’t actually experience the cessation of awareness. We experience the cessation of the mind. Because the mind disappears it doesn’t mean consciousness disappears. We assume we are aware “because I experience a world” on the contrary this is an assumption. We are aware because we are awareness and awareness, by nature, knows itself without the need of any objective knowledge or mind. This is a huge recognition. It’s the first signal that maybe consciousness is not located in the brain. Then when we go deeper in that direction, we find that it’s not. I can’t convince, nor do I care to convince, anyone in the comments, but I do like this question. I’ve build a community to help answer this question. There’s a great book on this called “the nature of consciousness” by Rupert Spira. He talks of his direct experience of pure awareness. I’ll make a video on this specifically on my own experience in future because I get asked this question a lot (and rightly so) it is the core and fundamental question for true and ultimate happiness. So I’m glad you asked.

The power of now - book by Eckhart Tolle
Time present and time past are both perhaps present in time future, and time future contained in time past. If all time is eternally present all time is unredeemable. What might have been is an abstraction remaining a perpetual possibility only in a world of speculation. What might have been and what has been point to one end, which is always present.

Just be….
the present moment is the only thing we have, the past and future is all an illusion
So many people comment before actually watching at least half the video.
@@sajafendel what u mean the guy pretty much said there is no present there is only now.. its the same thing

@@sajafendel be in the moment, be in the present, be in the now all means the same thing to me and I bet to alot of other people.
@@nesobre I explain this all vividly in the video :)
present moment is the now..
