Good question Telsa,what is consciousness?I would suggest that consciousness is the
outer manifestation of the inner lifeforce!
Could be likened to the plastic coating on electric wiring,the plastic represents the
consciousness,the copperwire the lifeforce.

Thanks for the serious sensible physics post, Tesla. I posted one today that is most the same as yours in two places. Just look for my today posts under profile section. It offers an interesting contrast, as the other post is critical of some of this posts ideas, and offers a different slant.

regards,

What is consciousness Quantum or otherwise?Consciousness is simply the unfoldment
of the life principle using evolution as its vehicle and its method of expressing this.
Life seeking individualisation via the process of evolution,each principle unfolding under
the irrisistable pressure of the evolutionary wave,until self-awareness is attained,then
the "newly" discovered "individual" can then consciously take part in this "automatic
process" and actively expand its awareness and consciousness by the practise of
meditation and yoga.
