Thank you, Michael,
It would seem that an award for the exam on 'Consciousness' is forthcoming for you.
Best regards,

Michael,
Since consciousness constitutes electrochemical impulses, isn't it projected from the brain, just as light is projected from a lamp?
I am aware that such impulses are measurable with electrodes physically attached to the skull and/or brain, but, are not such signals transmitted - through space - also?
Best regards,

I see consciousness as far more than a series of electrochemical impulses eminating from
the brain,the brain is just a physical "anchor" for the mind within its "appearance" within
temporal physical space,consciousnesss,transcends time and space,and exists outside of our temporal misunderstanding of it!
