The Mystery of Consciousness: Origin, Nature & Theories of Subjective Experience & Self Awareness
What is consciousness? How does it originate? Why does it seem to be a trait primarily found in some living organisms with relatively complex brains? How does the brain generate the feeling of existence? Why each of us has our own inner universe? How does the functioning of the 86 billion brain cells create this seemingly meta-physical realm of thoughts and emotions? Does it all come from some precise arrangements of cell connections in the brain?
Is there an aspect of consciousness that can’t be explained by physical facts alone?
Is it an intrinsic aspect of nature that exists beyond the physical laws?
Being human and having subjective experiences is a truly remarkable and privileged experience, but what if this extraordinary experience expands beyond biological entities? Could there be also an experience comparable to being a star or a planet?
Where does consciousness originate? When it begins? Why does it exist within us? Why does it exist at all?

    All the great men of Reformation (Martin Luther - Jan Hous - Knox - Tyndayle etc) in the era of 1500-1700 agreed that the antichrist is the Pope and the beast of Revelation is the Catholic church. And surprisingly there is not even one movie of Hollywood for this era. Nor is it mentioned in the books of history in schools. This era is completely erased. Now you know what they want to hide. Well, please read the following verse. Revelation 13:45 ‘’And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying,…And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue 42 months.’’ In the Biblical times a month had 30 days. So we are looking for 42x30 = 1260 days. However please see: Ezekiel 4:6 ‘’I have appointed thee each day for a year.’’ Numbers 14:34 ‘’… each day for a year…’’ So, we are looking for 1260 years that have to do with the beast. -In 538 AD Justinian's General Belisarius enters Rome and annuls the Pope first among all the Patriarchs and the Middle Ages begins. - In 1798 AD Napoleon's General Berthier sends the Pope into exile, catalyzes papal power and ends the Middle Ages. Please do the math….1798-538 = 1 2 6 0 days !!! Friend the beast is the Catholic church.

    Let me tell you my experience spawning in this world. At first it was only flashes of consciousness. I would randomly become aware and I could see and experience the world. It was exactly like a dream, fading in and out. I remember being in a crib and then I remember playing with toys. But it wasn’t linear, it was on and off. Then suddenly when I was a toddler, in the middle of a playground it happened. I became fully aware. Consciousness didn’t flash off and on from that point. It was continuous awareness, I finally had linearity and first person thought . The feeling of “awakening” as I like to call it was super strange. It was like a warm glow surrounded me and instead of being shrouded in the darkness I could finally see and feel. I can’t even really describe it, the best way to put it is I finally felt alive.

    If your consciousness becomes high enough, the present moment will be metaphysically recontextualized as outside of time, as you will realize that time is imaginary. When you become conscious that time is imaginary your present experience will become Eternal and Absolute. Motion will still happen, but motion will not be situated in the conceptual matrix of "time", it will be Eternal. You will realize that your Consciousness has always been Eternal. In other words, you have been Conscious forever. Believe it or not, Consciousness is so powerful that right now you are dreaming that you have not been conscious forever. Consciousness is powerful enough to dream its own finitude, its own beginning and end. When you realize that you have been dreaming the beginning and end of your consciousness, you will realize that actually you have been conscious forever, and that will be the moment you will know yourself as God. Human consciousness is just a tiny island within an infinite ocean of CONSCIOUSNESS. Beyond the human island there is an alien island, and more islands beyond that. Islands floating in INFINITY. Death is the transcendence of the human island to explore the larger ocean.

The ability to percieve yourself, your ability to percieve other people. You can damage part of your occipital lobe in such a way that you can still physically see, but you can't consciously percieve what you see. How do you explain that away with...energy? Any scientific theory needs to explain this. Panpsychism does not, at all. Its actually a scientific regression. Consciousness is made up of a million and one different internal representations of different things. It's I all seems so uniform, and united, until you strip away little bits of it and you realise that we are our brains. And conscious experience is a stack of brain functions which esseally sit on top of different sensory systems and basically filter out unimportant information. Consciousness is the bringing together of all those seperate systems that decide what is important in your environment. That's scientific fact not opinion by the way.

    Evidently, the three primary modes of being are "reactivity" (i.e. non-living phenomena), "responsiveness" (i.e. flora), and "engagement" (i.e. fauna). The core of an engaged entity naturally enacts the "registration" of both public and private phenomena. The periphery of an engaged entity can simultaneously register with both the core of that same entity, and with core of any proximate engaged entities external to that periphery. All other public phenomena (i.e. responsiveness and reactivity) can register with multiple external cores at once, but cannot, itself, enact registration. Private phenomena can register only with the core of the engaged entity within which it occurs. This form of registration cannot, itself, be registered, as such an occurrence is analogous to the impossibility of light being illuminated by other light.

    Memory is the source of consciousness. When babies are born, they appear to be conscious, but they are not; they're exhibiting autonomic responses to environmental stimuli. As they experience things in life, they start building memories, and the more conscious they become. It takes years to acquire enough memory to become fully conscious. Another term for consciousness is ‘awareness.’ Without memory, you wouldn't know (be aware of) what things are. Memory is the heart of consciousness…

    • @wolf5505
      @wolf5505 Před 16 dny

      Not quite. Memory is a feature of consciousness not the 'source' of consciousness. Self-awareness is a feature of consciousness as well. Babies are indeed conscious - the physical body is the limiter/inhibitor of consciousness while in the embodied state.

    • @markmaloney8154
      @markmaloney8154 Před 16 dny

      @@wolf5505 Actually, memory ‘is the core’ consciousness. Babies are not conscious when they are born. They appear to be conscious, but they don’t have any comprehension of the stimuli they are experiencing. Babies crying and moving when born are not a conscious reaction, they’re an autonomic response. They go from a dark warm womb to the shock of bright light, touch, sounds, smells, and pain. They are not conscious of suckling either, it too is an autonomic response. Their brain is a blank slate and doesn’t know how to process the stimuli they are experiencing. It takes them days to begin formulating a limited state of consciousness. As they experience the sensations of life, their brains start formulating memories and they start to develop awareness and consciousness. Consciousness is a process of comprehension. Memory defines what they’re experiencing. As I said in my original comment; the more memory - the more consciousness one develops. There are many conditions where a person can be awake but not conscious, such as people in catatonic or in vegetative states. Yes, being awake is clearly necessary for consciousness, but not sufficient to qualify as consciousness itself. Without memory, you couldn’t develop consciousness. Here's an example of how the brain works. Vision is not as it appears, it’s actually a neural hallucination. Light and colors don’t travel through the optic nerves, only invisible electrochemical impulses travel through the optic nerves. Light/colors hit photoreceptive molecules [known as cones and rods] in the retinas at the back of eyes and are transformed into millions of electrochemical impulses that travel to eight locations in the brain to be processed. It’s the primary visual cortex, known as the occipital lobe, that processes most of the visual impulses. The brain then takes those electrochemical impulses and formulates an image of the world outside. Vision is an internal mental map used to navigate the world outside. When a baby first experiences light/colors, it can’t define them into shapes or colors, that takes acquired memory to begin to formulate an image. For the first few days of a baby’s life, they cannot form neural images. Sound, touch, and taste must also go through the process of forming memories before the brain can process the stimuli. To better understand this process of neural hallucination; dreams are neural hallucinations formed from memory; without memory, you wouldn’t be able to dream. When you think about consciousness, it should be noted that it’s the most complex thing that exists in the universe…
