Question

4. EXPLAIN ‘ BURDEN OF CONSCIENCE’

Answer 1

Answer:

• Most introspective traditions would say no, that consciousness is the "space" or witnessing/knowing capacity which is nonjudgmental.
• The mental forms that arise due to stimulus/response are the burden, because burdensome interpretations/feelings arise and consciousness just observes them.
• Look at a colored object in the distance and think about how color does not exist apart from perception/consciousness and that color has no inherent meaning or emotional reactivity.
