    It’s not just in the brain even our cells have consciousness; they’re not attached to the brain or nerves or any type of signaling but they pass along they same history of the previous cell and know exactly what to do and what not to do. Our whole body is conscious

What I mean about the bike going where we think is that when you strap on the bike, so to speak, your mind is so in tune with your senses that where you think you want to go is where your looking is directed.

    @@Slarti Some years back I was mountain bike racing. They had a goofy, double negative saying to remember that concept. Especially in technical sections where your line was critical the term was, "Don't look where you don't want to go". (You hit what you fixate on) I don't race anymore but the lesson stuck. It even broadened out to the more nebulous idea that not just in high risk wheeled activities, but in life itself, our success and experiences tend to unfold based on where our attention remains. Cool. We share that same lesson.

    I don't think the title is accurate of the discussion. This dreadlock guy is a disciplined duelist, which means, I guess since he didn't actually talk about consciousness, that he thinks mind is something separate from the brain. It may be true, in the sense that anything could be true, but why add an extra step when we still don't know how the brain works.

    ***** }Good answer! Thank you! But please realize that we are just looking with our microscopes at letters and pages but don’t see the writer of the book. As well as a book in whole. We can explain how the brain works (according to your metaphor: we analyze the structure of letters, the tilt and color of pages). I think there must be someone who wrote this book but we are matted with typography.

    The brain is an abstraction that appears within your consciousness. It isn't real because it is out there. And we know that out there is some type of illusion. Even measuring the process of a hallucination we are simply measuring abstractions within the void of consciousness. In this model we cannot know anything. The phone in my hand, these two gentleman and all of the sensations correlated are all objects within this dream like experience. High dose tryptamines reveal more layers to this experience, if one is willing to do the work, and pierce through with tenacious force of illusion. Bless all those on a path of inquiry, and all those who are not.

    the mere fact that consciousness can be altered by external factors(chemical or otherwise), should be a clear pointer that, the consciousness itself is an abstraction of a physical process, or better said billions of physical processes. so if you can't be sure of what you're holding, you could always ask somebody, to make sure ;)

    Sir, you are not interested in consciousness, you are interested in self-consciousness, and self-consciousness is a construction out of more basic distinctions. It is a learned ability and we are all in the process of developing it more and more. Basic consciousness requires that there is an observer and objects to observe.
