Thread: Why aren't we always lucid

That's awesome, about Jung. I take things from Buddhism and others a little bit, but I take a big massive chunk from Advaita Vedanta.
And indeed it's called the self/true self/the witness/the observer/pure awareness/the void and maaaany other names, even Christ light or Christ consciousness.

And I realize it's probably impossible to do what I was asking about, but I was wondering where in the brain it's located - if scientists could see activity in some part of the brain when it's active.

That's just the thing, the true observer is not the brain. This why you may hear around the place "You are not the body. You are not the mind."

HOWEVER, I often see a correlation between the third eye and the observer. The third eye is a genuine bit in the brain that receives senses and thought.



Here's a drawing I did, I put it in the first page of my book. Sorta symbolic way to look at it, just drawing this helped me process it better. Click into it, the writing in the image shows which parts of the third eye receive what. Experiential info from the brain comes through in channels, into the third eye.

But the true observer is the one which sees the third eye. The info is there in the third eye, but something witnesses that info. A pure witness.
