##### (2024-02-23) Magical illusion of [[Vinnana|Consciousness]] (on [[MN143 Anāthapiṇḍikovādasutta]]) > [!summary] Youtube [link](https://youtu.be/9JI_dPDzIFY), with #May #dhamma/best/for-me - The **consciousness ("I") ==grasps== the object** (e.g. image of my face in the picture), **as "me" and "mine**" - and it has grasped symbol of **"100 dollar"** (nama) in the **"paper"** (rupa) and combine them as a **"100 dollar bill"** ([[Namarupa|Nāmarūpa]]) #eryu/learning/insight/major - Remove the **"sticker"** (label), then both the "experiencer" and the "experienced" goes away - #eryu/insight/major The **fear of death** is in the **subject**, or the **experiencer"**, so **when you drop the subject** (the **"I"** in the eye consciousness, ear consciousness, etc.), there's **no death**. - **How to remove "son" from consciousness?** #formula/practice #eryu/learning/practice/major - **Son** -> just a **"being"** -> actually just the **"gandhabba"** -> a being is nothing but just **"namarupa"** - **Eryu's Insights!!**: ^099c07 - #eryu/insights **6 consciousness** is like a **prism splitting a white light** — it's not right to say they're the same, but it's not right to say they're different! - Vilas: Good one - #eryu/insights/major on why **==Consciousness== is a "double agent"** — **Consciousness is a ==movie Director==** — On one side it **=="directs"== the movie** and **created this =="movie experience"==**, and on the other side it **sits in the theater** and watches, and deluding himself into **=="enjoying" the "movie"==**!!! - On how [[Namarupa|Nāmarūpa]] works! - 我们的“意识”，把“一百元“（名），和一张纸（色）粘在了一起，变成了一张“一百元钞票“。但是事实上，”一百元钞票“在实相里是不存在的，它只是存在于我们意识中的一种幻觉。当我们能把这个”一百元“（名）从“一百元钞票“里面移除出去，那么我们就会明白所谓的”一百元钞票”就仅仅是地、水、火、风的组合而已。我们的心就不会再陷入渴爱和执取了，那么也就从“苦”里面解脱了。 - 同样的道理也适用在“我”这个概念上。
