Different definitions of attention, but likely self as well. I understand electricity to be a metaphor for a process. The same goes for seeds and all the various other images that are invoked. Do you see them some other way, perhaps as literal entities?

More then a metaphor. No one suggested entities. I am asserting that the other side of our physiology is electrical that attention is in fact electrical in nature that our default states of semi consciousness can be be nicely described with electrical theory.

That transcendent states fit nicely into the functional properties of memristors.

Certainly you accept that you have a body maintained through a variety of chemical and electrical processes. Is it likely the the electrical properties are merely secondary artifacts?

I accept it with several extended footnotes.
Typically, I'm inclined to treat mind/consciousness as "primary" but equally as insubstantial as body/physicality. These are just different ways of describing experience.1 reply 0 retweets 3 likes -

Respectfully that is sophistry. If cause and affect is accepted as real then the physical spectrum in its entirety must also be accepted as the Real World. It may not be the real world as imagined nevertheless the knife cuts the roof shields and the fire burns.

There seems to be some kind of strawman at play here. I don't deny causality, nor physicality, nor morality. These are all aspects of experience. I understand mind (i.e., intention) as playing a primary role in all of them.

We all have our seeds, many of them mutual. Now to selectively cultivate them, tending the crops and rooting out the weeds through wise attention. Thanks for the conversation.
