To have a better understanding of consciousness you need to pay attention only to what is right here right now, in front of you. The present is not the now. The now is what is and is timeless. There is no need to be concerned with the remembered past or the anticipated future, they exist only as they are imagined. Disengage from time oriented thinking to free your self from needless worry and distratction from what is. Stay in the present moment.

1)The physically unidentified mechinism that is experience; the fondation of perception; the self; an entagible collection of data obtained by way of the senses (sight, hearing, smell, touch, etc.).
The truth of conciousness is that no one knows what it is or were to look for it. The brain physically responds the same to actual experience, as it does to imagined experience, but the conscious mind is aware of the difference between the actual and imagined. The consciousness is opperating seperate form the brain. Perception tells us that the concious mind resides in our heads, but we can not identify it's physical location.
This brings us to quantum physics. I don't pretend to know anything about quantum physics, but there is this question of were atomic particals are going as they move in and out of existence, as they constently do. finally there is the fact that the large majority of space is vacum, including all of matter. Apparently matter is not as solid as it seems. Most of the volume of matter is the vacum (space) between the particals (constently comeing in and out of existence, sometimes seeming to be in two places at one time) that make up it's mass. Is consciousness the living vacum residing within these biochemical masses of matter?
