How about the ideas of "outside" and "inside" sorta don't work from a certain perspective.

Maybe, consciousness IS the really real reality...without any form, or energy...just a sense of "being" or "I amness".

Consciousness then projects into form and the phsyical universe flows in to existence...

Your body, brain, and sense perceptions are a straw hole peep into the phsyical universe.

So you are a focal point of consciousness, with a body and a brain.

Your soul connects you to consciousness and is also a gateway to access the whole of consciousness or unity.

Maybe, but what the hell do I know....not a damn thing, that's what.

Default Our Consiousness

Hi Yoopersmith

Your guess is as good as anyone else's, but apparently our consciousness is in our cells as someone already mentioned this in this thread.

Before knowing this info. I believed our consciousness is in our eyes.

Take Care

Hi Foresta,

For the most part I think the fundamental illusion is a belief in seperation...if we are one...the question of "where" sort of loses meaning...but again, I can't really know...this is just what I choose to believe for now.

Serve, Feed, Love

Think, again.

Our mind, (at any given blink... in time) is capable of perceiving/mapping around 7 bits of info.
while
the rest of GOD's expanding... territory (filter/deleted out) we remain unawares of.
hence the study of 'science' = discovering one tiny bit..., at a time. ----- So evidently our map is, Not the territory.

Why does consiousness have to be anywhere? Perhaps it is a 'category mistake' to regard consciousness as something distinct that is located somewhere. Perhaps it is just a property of a certain configuration of matter, like liquidity is a (possible) property of H20.
