this localization process enables consciousness to perceive itself as the universe because infinite consciousness cannot perceive its own activity directly because it would have to do so from if infinite consciousness were to perceive the universe directly it would have to do so from every single point of view in the universe it would be the deepest darkest black image you could imagine so in order to perceive an object consciousness must localize itself as an apparently separate subject so this localization of the apparent localization of our self or the dissociation of ourselves as finite minds out of infinite consciousness enables um perception

- There is a metaphor that applies here:
- At a busy dinner party, many people are talking at the same time
- As the number of people approach infinite, the signal becomes more difficult to detect
- In the same manner, as the activities of the universe are seemingly unbounded, how could infinite consciousness possibly observe its own infinite entirety?
- Existential isolation is deemed depressing because it makes us feel intrinsically separated and disconnected from others, yet
- it may be very necessary
- Can you imagine hearing and understanding the voices of every human being, much less every living being?
- An individual human does not have the capacity to process all that information
- In the same manner, the body of every living organism is fine tuned for only one specific set of unwelts
- How would we process the unbound amounts of information if we had an infinite number of different detectors?
