    What is consciousness made of. (What's the matter?)
    (George Berkeley, 1710) ... lay the beginning in a distinct explication of what is meant by thing, reality, existence: for in vain shall we dispute concerning the real existence of things, or pretend to any knowledge thereof, so long as we have not fixed the meaning of those words.

    "Reality is an illusion - albeit a persistent one." - Einstein

    Re: What is consciousness made of?

    I would think it consists of layer 7. It knows nothing of lower layers. Layers exchange information via parcels that meet a standard. Layers do not communicate with each other but operate as clearing houses. The whole thing is an electro-chemical factory that has developed thru natural Selection to meet the current challenges of survival.

    But then again, how do I consciously know this ?


    7) Application : Provides different services to the applications

    6) Presentation : Converts the information

    5) Session : Handles problems which are not communication issues

    4) Transport : Provides end to end communication control

    3) Network : Routes the information in the network

    2) Data Link : Provides error control between adjacent nodes

    1) Physical : Connects the entity to the transmission media

    Consciousness is made of experiences, which consist of the (parts of)universe(s) which we observe.

    Re: What is consciousness made of?

    Consciousness arises from within LIFE,there in nowhere else it could possibly arise from,consciousness is the very motioning of life as it enters the relative universe from its absolute state of just Being-Life.

    Re: What is consciousness made of?

    Consciousness 'IS' all of the things that we are aware of , what we see and experience . It is not what we feel, that is just a chemical reaction inside our physical bodies caused by the presence of the consciousness. It is what's behind the veil.

    Cosmic consciousness implies the recognition of a First Cause, the one and only uncaused reality.

    It is the energy emanating from the geographic center of infinity.

    Things.
    Anything and everything,
    even no thing.
    What is, Consciousness without an object? (no matter, no thing)

    Static Energy, in motion.
    Awareness is Energy at rest.
    Sensation [notion, as thought, ideation, conceptualisation, is motion] therefore the go-between [off & on]. imho
