I am not sure consciousness exists. It's just a state with heightened sensory information, in constrast to for eg sleep or in a coma. They say consciousness resides in the brain. Again, I am not sure. Let's say you lost all your body totally, only your brain is left in a container, and we manage to keep it alive by giving it oxygen and the nutrients that it needs, but no other inputs since there is no body, are you still conscious? I would think not.

All animals have and experience consciousness, in the sense that when they perceive a threat or danger to their existence, they avoid it or take measures to protect themselves, and when they do not, they take measures to procreate. But the starkest difference, and maybe the biggest and ONLY difference between man and an animal is that man has the ability to turn the mind's eye inwards and self-reflect, to ask deep questions about the meaning and origins of not only his existence, but existence of the universe itself.

Best analogy for consciousness that I've heard is that it is like a TV set. We see a monitor showing sounds, colors, images, emitting senses that we can perceive. However if we tried to take the TV apart to see where the images are coming from, all that we're left with is bits and pieces, when really the images are coming from the radio waves being transmitted through the antennas. Perhaps this is a spiritual outlook on consciousness, but as my friend Mukesh formerly said, it's food for thought.
@sukindiamuzik8 жыл бұрын
So, you would say consciousness is like the product of all the mechanical workings of a TV set, the outcome is colour picture and sound. But the inner workings are all man made mechanics. So you are saying consciousness IS a product of the brain ( sorry if I sound rude I don't mean to I'm trying to understand your argument) The way humans are trying to make other realities with VR, 3D holograms/film/TV is making another reality, when we dream it's another reality. Consciousness is being aware and responding to a situation, so being able to build a reality that one can be conscious in is one step in being able to understand life consciousness. !?

BINGO! Unfortunately it seems that many if not all in the field of consciousness seem dead set on ignoring all evidence that consciousness exists outside/beyond the brain. However many recent medical studies into NDEs are showing very conclusive evidence that it does - that the brain is merely a receiver/filter for helping our consciousness sense, perceive and make sense of the 3D realm the brain resides in. Your analogy is excellent.

My neurologist and I were talking about how the brain works and all of its inner functions. She said that science knows a lot about the brain. I asked her, "Do you think we will ever figure out how the brain works completely?" She said, " I don't think we were ever meant to." Profound statement and absolutely true. The brain is a mystery. I don't think that science will ever completely figure it out. Besides that, when science learns something, something else pops up. The brain is mysterious and beautiful. It is us. We are looking out at the world through a set of peripherals. Who we really are is encased in a dark, protective, skull.

The ability to enjoy things like Art, music and film is what boggles me. Our ability to explain the world around us, mystify, de-mystify, and construct reality is what leaves me thinking about why is consciousness the way it is, Why and how has it been decided that these things were necessary for survival. There is no need for these things in our lives but yet, here we are. The complexity in which we perceive the world just makes me think that there is more to it. There is no need for such complexity and superfluous existence. We could do without half the stuff we experience/feel but yet here we are. With all....this. I am sure science will reverse engineer and explain a lot of things in my lifetime. But there is the burning question that occurs to me in my quiet moments. Why is there even life/evolution and succession of things that work in harmonic force together? It is like a machine learning algorithm that continues to grow more efficient over time. My human pea brain will never understand such things and while it is great to live life by the rules of science. You can also live by supposition within reason. That there is a great unknown and in the age of reason we are too quick to say what is without evidence can be dismissed. I like to be open to possibilities and I veer on the side of rationale. That yes this existence will end and so will my consciousness. But then I think why am I? Why is this? Intelligent design, it may not be as there are plenty of ridiculous flaws in our bodies and other species. But design there is nonetheless. Consciousness has a higher meaning I believe and so does the universe. I live in the here and now. What I can experience, touch, feel, and think. But me telling someone even 50 years ago the concept of a smartphone, they would laugh and say that's something out of a sci-fi. Everything is not possible till it is possible. Be open-minded and be hopeful it is what has gotten us this far.

Consciousness could be another force like gravity or electromagnetism that exists only in biological beings and manifests itself as a brain. Kind of like how energy tends to manifest itself as a wave, consciousness moulds itself as the most stable entity possible and in this case this object that consciousness tends to mould into using available resources on earth is the brain. Say this force were to go to a metallic planet, then if thermodynamically possible, the consciousness will manifest as a metallic brain instead (like a transformer).This consciousness force could be why brains developed independently in different parts of the world (and maybe the universe), in that no matter where you are, as long as the right matter is available consciousness will manifest as a self aware entity.

***** It's not an assumption to make but it is unwise to rule it out either, because we could be closing off a door of inquiry. A small but growing movement in physics is proposing that the reason we have consistently failed to find a unified theory of reality is because we have not taken the role of consciousness into account, i.e. that it maybe be integral to the mechanics of the universe itself. Even Dennett faces interesting questions he cannot explain. For instance, because research shows that the more you tell people they have no free will the more apathetic they become, he tells people that you should avoid telling vulnerable people they have no free will. But if free will truly is an illusion, then why would telling them they have none change their behaviour at all?

***** I don't think that's enough of an explanation. We don't know what the laws of physics are as regards consciousness, because we can't actually measure it directly.

If there is, we would never be able to know about it purely of its nature, if there isn't, well alright, we will know about it eventually. Experience and consciousness is required to define itself. Trying to define it as something that we cannot experience or imagine is therefore impossible.

To me, consciousness seems so simple. It is a 2 part process in the brain that repeats over and over again(even while we sleep). Part#1 - We attempt to answer the question "What is going on?". Part#2 - We attempt to answer the question "What should I do?". Part#1 is all about using our senses, our memories and our reasoning. Part#2 is all about taking action(or not). The learning aspect of this is about a summation of wisdom(memories + rational).

Consciousness is a distributed brain function. That’s why it is hard to pinpoint. Different parts of the brain send, collect and evaluate sensory information what we collectively describe as being self-aware and conscious. Just like any other brain function, consciousness evolved into existance because it has survival benefits compared to not having it.

Look into the mirror for 10 minutes everyday and you'll see your conscuisness or existence. Awareness is consciousness.

Just like how a toaster can be unplugged and plugged and how if the hardware of the toaster breaks down over time then the toaster or body in our case ceases to function. I don't know anything about advanced physics so i couldn't mend a theory to this but i think its cool to think that we are all biological manifestations of a single consciousness and depending on our biology we have different traits and interests kind of how machines with different hardware perform different tasks and specializations. I hope we get to the bottom of this within my lifetime because it would be cool to know for sure what makes us be.

+C4nadian For the most part I think your post is spot on except for the "single consciousness". A software has to execute each code at its physical limitation. A processor in your computer is really just a calculator crunching very very large numbers which arbitrarily represent things that are meaningful to us. its the translation of our thoughts and ideas into absolute 1s and 0s. The reason this is a problem is that a single consciousness would have to pass over each object one at a time processing each important aspect of that object as it passes. This would mean our reality runs in a stutter-step. No two things ever change at the same time. I believe this is not true, but I cannot prove that. Its possible that we do exist in a stutter step reality but we were just programmed in a way that we wouldnt notice that. However, we already have multithreaded programs and processors that have multiple cores, and we are only at the earliest stages of quantum computing research. You could have several self-learning programs running at the same time on the same computer, this would be much much more effeicient.

Consciousness is not separable from its contents. In order to be conscious you must be conscious OF something. If you are looking for something you believe to exist called "pure consciousness", what you may find is some state of mind that you will decide satisfies your criteria to be called "pure consciousness", but in reality it will be just another state of mind - still conscious OF something. In that case something abstract.

The bottom line: to think that your consciousness is merely produced and stored in your brain (and is only a bio-electric & chemical construct) is extremely infantile and limited.

This has been questioned by the ancient Greeks, Renaissance figures such as Bruno, Cardano, Patrizi, then later by Spinoza, Leibniz, Fechner, Bergson, James, Whitehead, Bertrand Russell, Galen Strawson, et al. The view that consciousness, or some form of sentience, is and was universal is called panpsychism. Christoph Koch figures prominently here - even he has self-identified as a panpsychist (2012).

If so, why does this "God" only revolve around us humans, who are but an insignificant speck within a speck?

It is empty because at its base it is all reasonless, mindless chaos.

We have come a long way and endured more than you could imagine to be where we are now and it has all been for one ultimate purpose, to see the truth of life and live in true life. Everyone knows the truth subconsciously because indirectly we are the truth and the life, but directly we are controlled by our animal mind and desires. People are living as their mortal mind selves instead of their true conscious self. Mankind is missing true life which is everything for illusions which are nothing that our false self or mind creates. We have evolved this far subconsciously, it is time to see the truth of life and evolve consciously. We have progressed enough to learn the truth of life, take control of our minds, and see the real life that has been hidden from our sight until now. The Truth is out, Google *_Truth Contest_* and check it out. The real truth will make you free.

Of course, I can speculate that there is a final layer directly connected to information, which would be a fundamental metaphysical layer known as ontic structural relations, which is the primacy of reality (being itself is intrinsically derived from abstract patterns and relationships).

Consciousness is that which is aware of itself and its environment, human consciousness in that case experiences its environment through thoughts, feelings and emotions using the mind as a medium. The mind relays the environment to consciousness as it has constructed it with the sole objective of trying to preserve it i.e. consciousness and give it peace and joy. Human consciousness/ being/ awareness is higher in the strata of earthly life because of its mind. The mind and consciousness are both intangible just like energy is and both are products of the brain and the environment/ cosmic system. In death it disintegrates into unconscious energy. My opinion.

It is a field, the quantum field of probabilities generates information, some of that ends up as matter. Electric, field magnetic field...mind is a field phenomena. Brain is IN the field, not other way round. Read Dr Amit Goswami, ,quantum physicist, and expert vedic science. Brain is a transceiver, that is a quantum device.

Alan MacDonald You sound like you're talking science, but it doesn't seem like you are. Can you quickly explain what makes you think the mind is a 'field'? (too lazy to read that)

Goswmai quotes research carried out on brains, signal disappears, are synaptic gap, reappears, only way it can go is into and back out of quantum field. Brain processes local (reptilian / mammalian reactions) and non local creative solutions...those AHA moments. Dr Bruce Lipton proposes DNA has nor enough info to make a body, so inform must be in a field, that adapts the form current conditions, hence evolution.

Did they say, “...until the problem of consciousness is solved...” Who would have thought consciousness was a ‘problem’? It’s an *odd* statement.

You don't know that though, it just sends consciousness ability to use a body for all you know. You can infer consicousness from a living body but you can never see it or observe it, consciousness is literally invisible.

Consciousness is the metaphysical ground of everything. Matter don't give rise to consciousness. Matter is a thought inside of consciousness. This can be verified in your own experience by having what the Buddhists call an 'enlightenment experience' or by radical skepticism.

Question is, why is our consciousness connected only to certain parts of body. For example, our brain receives signals from and is controlling heart, stomach, liver, kidneys and all other organs. Even though our consciousness is most likely inside of brain, it can't feel nor control those processes. If nobody told you you have heart, you wouldn't even know there is something in your chest, that pumps blood through your blood vessels, yet your brains knows it and controls it. This is in my opinion one of the weirdest aspects of consciousness, apart from filosophical aspects.

I'm a doctor, so here's how I would explain you this as per my knowledge about brain. Why you cannot control your heart or kidneys or guts, goes down to how we are wired. There are different levels of wiring in our body. Different levels of the NERVOUS SYSTEM. The one that controls the visceral organs like the Heart, Stomach, Kidneys and all is the AUTONOMOUS NERVOUS SYSTEM. It just makes and maintains the Basic Level of Balance in our body to function properly. Where as the PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, which wires the sensory organs gives you the subjective sensations like Touch,Taste,Sight,Audition,Smell to name the 5 basic senses. Whereas the CONSCIOUSNESS is something which something that runs above these basic levels. Something like how Firmwares, Kernels, and the Operating System works on your computer. I hope this analogy helps you understand that. BRAIN is definitely the most beautiful and complex structure in the universe.

THE THEORY OF MIND, 'get in another person's shoes, feel what they're feeling, see yhe world from THEIR perspective' . I wonder if research is done on the effects of cannabis related to this subject. I can tell you, smoking cannabis does make you extremely conscious of yourself AND others, you can literally feel what someone you know really well felt/feels in a certain situation. Cannabinoid receptors are all over the brain, and cannabinoids in Cannabis do activate those receptors in many different ways. But the taboo on cannabis will last and prevent serious science from exploiting it. But it does have a potential to make your mind go out of your body and be very empathic, modifying your state of consciousness. The grandfather of Cannabis research, Raphael Mechoulam, thinks sensibility to certain cannabinoids/the amount of certain cannabinoid receptors in the brain are what defines one's personality, the difference in personality between me and you could be linked to differences in cannabinoid receptors in the brain. (remember, our body constantly releases endocanabinoids for countless reasons in the brain)

Reality is the physical form of consciousness, without consciousness there would be nothing. We live in God and God lives in us.
