Questions for Jeffery Martin,
What is enlightenment (persistent non-symbolic consciousness)?
Where did this definition come from (Is it from an ancient tradition, or is it your own definition?)
What is consciousness, is it produced by the brain or is it something that is non-physical and survives the death of the body?
What are the reasons you have for that belief?
Belief in machine consciousness sounds materialistic but the "prison" analogy (in the video) seems to suggest there is more to an individual that the present life. Is this a contradiction?
How do you identify people who are enlightened so you can study them?
How did they become enlightened? Was there more than one way? Were they doing yoga, buddhist meditation etc?
How many people in the world are enlightened?
What are the benefits of enlightenment?
Should everyone try to get enlightenment?
Is it possible for most people to experience non-symbolic consciousness if only for a short time?
Can non-symbolic consciousness be understood in terms of neuroscience? Are certain parts of the brain involved? Are some parts of the brain less active or more active during non-symbolic consciousness? ( Background:
