What phenomenon is consciousness?

[mkirkpatrick]

It is the phenomena of motion within formless formational representations of objective
reality,within the illusional backdrop of a relative universe?

I have no more idea of what consciousness is than the next bloke, but I go with the theory that it's emergent. The fact that it's associated with certain physiological activity doesn't rule out the possibility that it may exist beyond the confines of the brain. So long as we don't know what it is, we can hardly be justified in making dogmatic claims. Let science do its stuff, then maybe our descendents will know for sure and the ill-founded assumptions and assertions will come to an end.

The mind body problem, is not a problem. They are one in the same in our reality. Both parts are a fundamental block. Now, if reality can change or evolve and allow for something like a spirit to occur, I couldn't say. I am not God ... I can't make it happen. I would hate to offend God by saying, that is not possible for God. :wacko:
