00:00How can that happen? How can a rock is not conscious, you know, my sweater is not conscious, but I
00:06am, and there must be something different about my consciousness. So you've got to deal with that.
00:12Yes, yes. My existence is psychic. The existence of the rock is physical. I have both a physical and a
00:24psychic existence.
00:26Right. Okay, good.
00:27So the rock reacts. It's not that the rock will not acknowledge an object. Rock as a subject will definitely
00:36acknowledge an object. So there is that dualistic thing operating, you know, in some way there as well.
00:44It's just that the rock has nothing that will establish a narrative with the water being poured on the rock.
00:54Right. But if I sit here and somebody comes and pours water on my head, there sits something within this
01:04physical system that will say, you know, I have been insulted.
01:09Or that I ought to have more money, more power. Or that, you know, that fellow is simply evil and
01:15I'll just take care of him after the podcast.
01:17Something of that kind.
01:19Now, so there is something about the constitution, the very physical configuration of the human species that gives rise to
01:30this psychic thing called the ego.
01:35The whole family household of the human species that adds itself.
01:37The whole family of the intelligent people.
01:38The whole family of the animal this variable.
