I'm not sure if there is a way to offer proof for the existence of consciousness; it might be easier to prove that the opposite of it isn't true. I saw a movie called "What the Bleep Do We Know?" (they have an extended edition that I highly reccomend buying - it's roughly five hours long and has much more than the original) - in this movie I remember them mentioning a theory that states something to the effect of : you can't have a universe without consciousness entering in to it. [I can't remember who it was that said this (I'll have to check and get back to you).] This sounds reasonable to me, it would be a very convienent way of creating a universe; and it seems to be congruent with the LoA (insofaras having a connection between consciousness and being - or even if consciousness is a tangible part of being). For my part, the only certainty that I have on the subject of consciousness is that at least part of its nature (or part of its being or essence, etc.) must be to search for it, because there's a lot of that going on down here on earth. Happy journey.
