Nitamo: The brain is a machine and the mind is the
functioning of that machine. Consciousness, also known as no-mind or the
watcher or the witness, is that which observes both, which is independent
of both.
Science believes that the brain exists like a
machine and mind is just an activity. End of story. Consciousness doesn’t
exist as far as scientists are concerned.
They believe that all evolution is just by chance.
There is no intelligence; no consciousness is needed for evolution to
happen. To that extent human evolution is absolutely haphazard. For
scientists the greatest achievements of evolution, the pinnacle of evolution
is a bigger and better mind.
In my understanding the ultimate in
individual evolution is our realization of who or what we are.
