Gospel Koan 60.4

Consciousness

Koan 60.4

All consciousness: 'measure of knowing together', is where meaning and sense are one and the meaning sent is the sense received.

Summary Exposition

The central mechanism is the collapse of the distinction between transmission and reception within a conscious field, creating a unified event where intention and perception are identical. A single, potent example is the immediate, non-dual experience of pain; the meaning of "threat" sent by the body is the very same sense received by awareness, with no interpretive gap. The implication is that consciousness is not a decoder of separate signals but the condition where a meaning-sense unity manifests—where the message sent is the message received. Reality, for conscious beings, is constituted by these self-consistent correlations of meaning and sense.
