If everything exists because an observer is aware of it...?

If everything exists because an observer is aware of it...?

Who is aware of the observer?

~~~ The use of 'because' implies 'causality'.

Awareness/Consciousness doesn't 'cause' anything, it 'observes' that which Is; the One (unchanging, ALL inclusive) Reality!

The 'observer' IS 'awareness/Consciousness'!

Awareness is aware of all!

All awareness is Self awareness.

We are all unique Conscious Perspectives (Souls) that perceive the One Reality every moment of existence!

You are conflating, it seems, the 'body' observed, with the 'observer' of the body!

The 'body' does not 'observe'.

"It is not the eye that perceives light and color, nor the ear that perceives sound, nor the brain that perceives thought!" - Book of Fudd

Though it does 'appear' that way, it does 'feel' that way...

Like when the figure on TV is looking and talking to "you"...

Aware means receptive to changes, watchful. The awareness is nothing without the senses. The senses observe, the mind is aware, but it is the brain that is conscious. The one that analyses the sense data is the brain, by which I mean the prefrontal cortex. It is the prefrontal cortex which identifies from the observed sense data and makes things exist (stand out). Therefore, the observation is not the observed, but only part of the observed.

Pretending for a moment that the supposition is true, presumably the observer is self aware.

If the most important thing is awareness, a self aware observer is enough. If the important thing is observation, one would have to conclude that everything which is observed is itself observing in some fashion, which prevents the universe from slowly unravelling, piece by piece.

consider about food.

the farmer observed it regularly.

the cook observed it as he cooked.

you observed it as you eat, taste and swallow.

after that you feel full. but no longer observed it. nobody did.

and still it came out later.

:D

there were galaxies, stars etc, before the astronomers ever observed them. they have been there for billions of years. if you think there must be observers to make them exist, then there must be aliens everywhere.

who is aware of the observer?

Self awareness is with everyone everything with feeling/sensation. Trees don't have it. Some plants do have it - like venus fly traps but this type of sensation doesn't have awareness. Flies do observe their sweet juice and that's the reason why they get trapped.

If everything exists because an observer is aware of it...? this reminds me of double slit experiment , where electrons behaved as wave of possibilities until observed then the wave function collapsed and electron behaved like particles .

who is aware of the observer ? well observer is awareness itself so there is no question of someone else being aware of the observer , observer is both the observed and the observation.

Good question... We must understand that absolute existence is none-other than the inseparable coexistence of 'all' and 'over-all'. Away from that absolute oneness, all-else is relative dualism. Within the 100% all-ness, parts and counterparts are non-existent imaginary fragments only enjoying relative observation of one another, both painfully incomplete. The point is, it is the over-all 'eye' that observes the phantom 'I' vs 'me' mutuality. The perspective from the 'divine throne' is not a mere observation but a reigning embrace, of unconditional accommodation where every dialogue is 'seen' to be a poetic monologue. And beautiful too...

yes but thats just philosophical talk, which is mostly a bunch of 'ifs'. This being one of the biggest.

But to indulge the concept, maybe as the observer is aware of everything, everything is aware of the observer. Maybe one cant go without the other.

Oh My, the science of Philosophy...

The awareness of, The Observer.

The child both observes and is observed by the father,

the father both observes and is observed by the grand-father,

the grand-father both observes and is observed by the great grand-father,

and so forth and so on,

and The Creator (Ya Khaliq) observes, and is simultaneously aware, of everything in its entirety.

The Creator: The One who has created all creations and sustains them.

Peace be always with you.

Salaams,

It is not a 'who' but rather a 'what'. There is a quality of awareness that is always aware at the inner most core of being. Even when one is supposedly "unconscious" one is aware, such as being alseep. When you wake up and say, 'I had a good sleep', there is has to been something aware of it. The observer is aware of existence as form, where as the inner core of being is aware of as existence as formless. The material "self" is personal and believe itself to be a separate individual. The formless "Self" is impersonal and identifies with the "Oneness/Allness" of the totality of existence.

By asking this question in this manner implies that if the observer is not aware of anything and that nothing exists. If nothing exists, then the observer does not exist. making this whole question moot.
