Comment to Indifference in a New Body

  • The quote from the initial reply was from me, just for clarity.

    I read your response here, Surya, several times.

    I think what you're saying is that you also feel compassion toward animal suffering?

    That it is bothersome to you?

    That the shaman sensed it?

     

    And just one question, it seems you are saying your innate compassion was present, so what does this sentence mean?  ""I didn’t have access to certain aspects of my subconscious in a deliberate or exercised manner.""

    (Most children don't have full subconscious access, just like most adults. That's normal.)

     

    An additional question for Michael. 

    Can you hypothesize as to whether or not you would have felt nothing if it would have been a human being being slaughtered as compared to the cow?

      I may have considered that to be an incidence. For example, once some British soldiers shot at rioters with high powered riffles. I witnessed one man being shot through his rear end. His flesh parted and it was sheer blood red. To my perception, it was an incidence. My interest was regarding how he experienced that as a consciousness experience.

      I witnessed patients in a hospital when my body was about ten years of age. There again my interest was the experience for the person of say, a completely burnt body which had no skin and was on a bed alive with a mosquito curtain over him and with some gauze here and there for skin.
