Thanks WS,how does one define that which is basic and fundamental to all existence?You mentioned schizophrenics,I have worked with patients with this illness for many years as
a nurse in hospital,so I am well acquainted with the problem,and have had long discussions throughout many a night about the ideas and paranoia that arise within the mind.

Consciousness to me is the "field" in which we are all immersed within.And that being so,it is the sum total of all existence.
