Fair question and some there are who say that all kinds of other things have consciousness, for example rocks, clouds and even raindrops.
Animals like cats, snails, flies have the beginning of tiny egos otherwise why would they insist in staying in one piece when you try to take them apart?
Even a rock resists being cut apart.
And there must be consciousness without ego! |
I agree Jim,rocks have rights?And they are alive ,in a state of profound lethagy!
no ego,but exhibiting consciousness!
