Betrayers of Consciousness (pt 1)

Betray (Be-tray)

The first and most common use and understanding we rarely need defined to us. To deal deceitfully to an end of leading astray or placing another in, or exposing another to, all vulnerability by some knowledge of the one gained through a false trust engendered by the betrayer.

But there is more. Something of evidence that reveals either a, or the truth of a matter. And usually unintentionally by one in situation who is seeking to keep something hidden in propagation of a particular agenda preferred hidden. Such as “The Rolex on his wrist betrayed his claim of being destitute.”

Evidence(s). And man called as witness. Even as witness to consciousness. Who calls him cannot be, and is not ever of his own choosing. A summons issued he is subject to. Whether it be by the prosecution or the defense.

But you may not like my imposition of legal framework upon such a matter. That is fine. You’d be very correct ( is that redundant?) to say the matter of consciousness is in some way greater, or more fundamental than can be contained in some (as understood and accepted by man) legal framework…for is not that very framework a result of consciousness and therefore owing to consciousness as the greater thing? Isn’t the “thing” making always greater than the thing…made?

Ahhh, you sniff. Believer and unbeliever alike, you sniff. When will this deck be shuffled enough to give the card(s)? Where is this consciousness matter going, first in reference to legal (or in other term legitimate) matter(s), or in other term…greater matter? But it is…all that matters. At least as such as you and I might know. For knowing exists by consciousness, which is fundamental to it…so that even knowing (as thing proceeding from consciousness) is therefore owing to consciousness…even as thing made is in owing to thing making.

Therefore dare we speak of knowing apart from the even more fundamental matter of consciousness? I would say…God forbid. If there be any doubt as to my dealing.

The premise here is outrageously simple to the extreme of being absurd.

What do you or I know, or believe to such extent we are persuaded to say we know, except by consciousness? To say anything, (write anything, ideate anything) or even hold to only any inward knowing (if remaining silent), is all consequent to consciousness.

Here, in the second sense of the definition above, consciousness is betrayed as being had. But nevertheless, be free to say you don’t have it. Or I do not. Or to whatever extent one may care to say “I’m not convinced it is truly a real thing”. Be free. But where, if unconvinced, would such convincing have to take place that one be convinced? Do you love simplicity yet…to the absurd? And of course, be careful of saying “Man cannot know anything” as though this is a thing…known.

If you say the car exists, the building exists, the planets and stars (even all the way down to the atoms you may say of which such things are composed) and/or even to the more gingerly handled matters of time, space, and light being held as in existence…why not just go in whole hog (and to the most absurd extreme) that you also exist? But if you have doubt…or are even persuaded you do not, be free to join the absurd with proof you don’t.

And, is it, or would it not be with some extreme handling of consciousness such proof might be made and therefore specifically…with consciousness? (What does it mean when in the scriptures it speaks of “those who oppose themselves”?) But…really…can you talk yourself out of existence? Or reason your way out?

Again, be careful now. Or not, it really is no matter. Your care, my care…really do not amount to anything.

But also, and no less than consciousness, is truth? Even a “thing”? Does truth have being…in existence?

Here is where the first definition can hold sway, or be found applicable. Will one lie (betray) and say “There really is no such thing as truth” and be found making that statement…as though true?

Friend, you and I are kinda stuck. For we can do nothing against the truth, but only for it. Regardless of where we believe we take our stand…or even take “the” stand as called as we may believe by the prosecution or the defense. For the reigning judge is he who sits over all to ensure all perfect order is maintained in his court(s).

God willing there may be more to be said.
