consciousness as the inside of a physical entity
will only understand the outside - know the outside - in terms of
categorizing - of understanding - of knowledge - that it generates
consciousness observes the outside - the surface
and consciousness observes through - the surface
how this occurs we cannot say - we have no awareness of the process -
we do not observe the connection - we do not see how this happens
the action is unitary
so we can regard knowing
as the act of this unity
that is - not just an inside operation - or an outside event
it is both - it is one
the human being is an entity - a two dimensional entity
its actions are expressed and echoed inside itself and outside itself
to understand a human action you must take into account its internal and
external dimensions
the human being sees itself as dimensional and knows itself as a unity
does the outside affect the inside - yes
does the inside affect the outside yes
the key to understanding this is the concept of impact
the world impacts on the mind
the mind impacts on the world
being in the physical world reverberates in consciousness
and consciousness - the inside affects the body - reverberates in the world
we are not talking about two substances here
rather two dimensions of the one
and the relation of the two is the action of the one - the unity -
impact from the outside will be felt inside
consciousness here is recognition of impact
impact on the outside - from the inside will affect the surface
here consciousness is the initiator of impact
