Point consciousness
Being aware without a body, a location, or sensory input. A waypoint, not a destination.
The official description of point-consciousness is a meditation state in which the explorer stops processing physical sense data and becomes open to receiving other data from the larger system. Campbell and Dennis Mennerich developed binaural beats at Bob Monroe's lab partly to make that state easier to reach — and the site is careful to add that you can make your own for free.
Campbell's fuller description goes further. With enough practice, he writes, one learns to let go of local thoughts and physical sensory input and to experience pure awareness with no thoughts and no input at all — what he calls the void. Perfect sensory deprivation, a perfectly still mind aware of nothing but its own existence, experiencing itself as a point of aware existence.
This is a long way past where a beginner starts, and nothing in this app will get you there on a schedule. It is here because knowing what the road leads towards changes how you sit on it.
Where this gets misread
That the void is enlightenment, or the finish line. Campbell describes it as a good place to just float around in — a waypoint. And chasing it is reliably the way not to arrive.
