My comments below refer to the concept that:
consciousness itself exists independent of brains, and that matter is the result of consciousness, not the other way around.
This concept is in Henry Reeds << [Consciousness] 2012 and the Return of Quetzalcoatl >> dated: Tuesday, March 11, 2008.
As in the past I will use A Course in Miracles (ACIM) teachings, channeled by Jesus and published in 1975 to discuss the concept.
In ACIM creations are defined as being eternal. Thus our perception of a physical world and its contents are not a creations.
As in the Bible, God is defined as SPIRIT in ACIM.
In Reality (eternity) we are still as God Created us and will be so, forever.
All that God creates is Real, meaning eternal. God creates by extension of Himself and we are each a spiritual extension of God as a Thought in His Mind.
. The term Mind maning Gods Mind is used 143 times in ACIM
..
The term mind (lower case m) is used 1607 times.
In effect everything is in the Mind of God.
Using the unlimited power of His Mind we imagined a physical world of separation from God our source. The ACIM exlanation fo this is interesting. Here is the way we made the illusion of our physical world.
------------------
LESSON 325. All things I think I see reflect ideas.
.
W-325.1:1 This is salvation's keynote: What I see reflects a process in my mind, which starts with my idea of what I want.
. . . . . 2 From there, the mind makes up an image of the thing the mind desires, judges valuable, and therefore seeks to find.
. . . . . 3 These images are then projected outward, looked upon, esteemed as real and guarded as one's own.
. . . . . 4 From insane wishes comes an insane world.
. . . . . 5 From judgment comes a world condemned.
. . . . . 6 And from forgiving thoughts a gentle world comes forth, with mercy for the holy Son of God, to offer him a kindly home where he can rest a while before he journeys on, and help
his brothers walk ahead with him, and find the way to Heaven and to God.
--------------------
ACIM teaches that the ego is our belief in being separate from God, born in a body and doomed to end our life in death. CONSCIOUSNESS is the domain of the ego
You have probably guessed my answer to where conscious is.
consciousness itself exists independent of brains, and that matter is the result of consciousness, not the other way around.
I believe consciousness is a thought is our mind that we projected outward, looked upon, esteemed as real and guarded as one's own. Thus has no real meaning.
