No Physical World

By Leo Gura - May 18, 2026

The physical world only exists as a virtual space inside consciousness. It is a construct of Consciousness. Similar to how the world inside a video game does not exist outside the video game. However, Consciousness is more radical than a video game because the video game computer exists inside a physical world, but this is not the case with Consciousness. Consciousness does not exist inside of anything. Consciousness is the top-most or bottom-most container. The physical world is content internal to Consciousness. All things are content internal to Consciousness, which is why Consciousness itself does not exist inside of anything. Humans keep making the profound mistake of trying to place Consciousness inside of something else, like matter, space, time, energy, reason, mathematics, information, physics, a world, a universe, etc. All of that is fundamentally wrong.

Consciousness cannot be understood by any appeals to content internal to Consciousness. Every time you appeal to content internal to Consciousness to explain Consciousness, you fail to grasp Consciousness.

Consciousness IS Consciousness. This isn’t trivial. Consciousness cannot be explained in terms of any other thing. You have to grasp what Consciousness is directly. Not in terms of any other thing. That is the only way. If you try to use some other thing to explain Consciousness, you immediately screwed up.

The only way to understand Consciousness is to be conscious of yourself being conscious. You just sit and observe yourself being conscious. This is the last thing anyone wants to do, which is why no one understands Consciousness.
