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?
