So, do you think that the self is a collection of consciousness?
From the standpoint of the paper, we do not consider the self to be a collection of consciousness.
Furthermore, we do not equate the self with the observing subject.
The observing subject is Absolute Subjectivity, which is neither something that appears as content within consciousness nor something that can be defined as a personal self belonging to an individual.
What is commonly referred to as the ‘self’ is merely a construct that appears within consciousness.
Absolute Subjectivity, on the other hand, is the foundational source of observation itself. Some may refer to it as the Creator or as God.
