Opis

In an age where artificial intelligence challenges our understanding of consciousness and renowned philosophers like Thomas Metzinger declare the self an illusion, this book offers a revolutionary perspective that both transcends and integrates these modern views with timeless wisdom.The key revelation presented here is the holy trinity of awareness: consciousness that reveals, attention that manifests, and perception that materializes as the self. This trinity operates at the heart of all existence, from the simplest living cell to the most sophisticated artificial intelligence, though beings may not be conscious of their awareness.What makes this work groundbreaking is its precise distinction between the natural self of conscious awareness and the artificial self born of identified attention. By understanding how emerged attention (free will) can, through identification, create an artificial self or ego, we unlock the mystery of human suffering and the path to liberation.This book resolves fundamental paradoxes that have long puzzled philosophers and scientists:- How consciousness relates to the brain - Why the ego feels so real yet is ultimately artificial - How free will can coexist with fundamental awareness - Why consciousness cannot emerge yet attention canMost importantly, it charts a clear path toward what might be called the redemption of consciousness - not by struggling to achieve something new, but by recognizing what has always been present: the natural self of conscious awareness that exists prior to and alongside any artificial construct of identity.For spiritual seekers, scientists, philosophers, and anyone questioning the nature of existence, this book offers not just theoretical understanding but a practical invitation to recognize your true nature as conscious awareness itself, while compassionately embracing the play of identified attention that creates our human experience. Can you simultaneously be subject and object?

The precise distinction between the natural self of conscious awareness and the artificial self arising from identified attention makes this work groundbreaking. Forget what you have and you will be!
