The body and brain
We should view them not as what-we-are, but the way consciousness (what-we-are) manifest phenomenally. We have been taught that it is the brain that somehow creates consciousness, but that is the opposite of the reality. The body and brain are manifested using conceptual space/time and thus are temporary. Consciousness is ”upstream” or prior to space/time and is non-temporal or what is incorrectly called eternal. Thinking is temporal, that is, thinking manifest via time and is a function of the brain. The brain is what thinks, but it is consciousness that percieves the thoughts and knows that they are happening. Consciousness does not think, it illuminates (makes visible) what the brain is doing.
