Wisdom Activity:- 1.How does the AP Framework define Consciousness? Explain in your own words. -->Consciousness is dualistic phenomenon: ego at one end, Object at the other. There is no Consciousness without this duality, no awareness that is not awareness of something, from the perspective of some centre. --> In simple words, what we understand from Consciousness is simply due to Ego seeing the world and using it for self-preservation and for himself. ego is not observing or noticing the world in an objective manner. 2.How does Neuroscience define Consciousness, and how does it fundamentally differ from the AP framework? ---> In neuroscience, consciousness refers to the subjective, internal experience of awareness of oneself and the surrounding world. ---> In neuroscience consciousness is defined from subjective perspective where in AP framework Consciousness define from Objective perspective. Ap framework directly question subject (ego) who is using All the things for self-protection. 3.According to Acharya Ji, what is Free Will? Share an instance from your own life where you felt you were exercising free will. Upon closer observation, was it genuinely free? ---> According AP framework personal free will ("your" free will) is an illusion or a "slave's will," because ordinary choices are entirely bound by biological, social, and psychological conditioning. ---> When i have to choose two elective topics from many Topics. I didn't choose topic which my friend are choosing because they are choosing topic I which rest or don't have to work in that. So i choose a topic which is interesting for me and important for my future carrier clarity& work has to do, Now I see that in this my conditioning work means I choose topic which supporting my claim that I am capable of doing this in the future or my desire for that future make me choose that. if I see from Objective manner, it was not genuinely free also that I have to compulsory choose two topic from only given topics. 4. In yesterday's Bodh Pratyusha session, Acharya Ji stated that not even the ego, but 'suffering' itself is fundamental. What did you understand from this? Write in brief. --->I understand that suffering causes the ego to choose other things where the ego thinks that it can be fulfilled. So suffering is causing more suffering. But here ego has a choice to what to choose another object or dissolve itself, so suffering can't be felt or see that suffering is only to ego.
