Dreaming of Reality: Sleeping, Dreaming & Dying in Tibetan Buddhism

D2S5 - Evening Questions on Mind and Memory

Lama Alan · 89 minutes · recorded January 1, 2019

One silent period, each person following whichever method of mindfulness of breathing benefits them most. The rest of the evening goes to written questions. Lama Alan Wallace argues that memories are stored in the substrate consciousness rather than the brain, since your apps are not stored in your keyboard. He gives consciousness two defining characteristics, making appearances manifest and knowing, and calls panpsychism, integrated information theory included, the last gasp of materialism.
