This course compares current philosophical and psychological perspectives on consciousness with those found in religious scriptures. For example, on the one hand, first person vs. third person perspective, the relation of consciousness to brain, the existence of qualia, blindsight, zombies, inverted spectra, what it is like to be a bat, and on the other hand, pure consciousness, the unity of mystical thought, heaven within, Buddha nature, Samadhi, Dhyana and Prajna, suchness, the prayer of quiet, the cloud of unknowing, all this is that.
