I think there is a subtlety that has led to confusion as to what I was asserting:

Concepts are ONLY imaginary, and as such have absolutely no bearing on reality, other than their sometimes 3-dimensional-ness. As such, concepts and imagination can be successfully used in engineering, for example, because the physical plane is also 3D. And that has led many to assume that concepts are inherently useful, while in fact they are ONLY useful in such instances of inferring how matter will behave.

However, not all mind phenomena are of the realm of imagination. Consciousness is able to be anywhere, anytime. This is an unalienable fact of consciousness. Most of the time, ours is fixed behind our eyes, between our ears, but that is just a (very important) characteristic of the human body.

The problem with consciousness is that because most people have adopted concepts as having informational value, their consciousness mostly or only refers to concepts, when in fact they are of extremely limited use. But once freed from the shackles of the concept-based mind experience, consciousness can do other things.

The most revelatory experience is when one has fully nullified the hold that concept as as general category has on their mind, and the consciousness is able to meld DIRECTLY with the Objective Reality of the Universe. This (obviously?) allows innate knowledge of anything, even the most unknowable of unthinkable facts.

Maybe we should continue this discussion in s/consciousness ?

I put up a post with some more of my thoughts on that sub, and I mentioned you in the OP. I love the new dimensions you are bringing to the table... I know very few people who have the ideas you are presenting to me, and I'd love to hear more about them.

Indeed very few people have them, for I am personally close to the instigator of these views, which are the key to the next iteration of mankind. Thank you for your kind words and yes, this stuff only gets more interesting the more you look into it.
