Why must we consider what is not there? Break forth from your shakles; we are to rather proceed. Heriosm is an unkind word.

Well it's not my fault if you're all afraid to think.

Originally posted by ark13But what is concioussness? What is it to be "aware" of something? After all, there is never nothing. And if it is there and swirling around, then we must in some way be "aware" of it. Otherwise, it wouldn't be on our minds.

Originally posted by abejnoodThat question is irrelevant to my statement. In this context, being concious of something means knowing about it.

Conciousness is more difficult to define as it is not directed at anything in particular. To be concious is to be aware. You can be concious of nothing, meaning that you're aware that nothing is there. But you'll find I take a determinist and mechanical standpoint to the world. Why do we perceive things? Our eyes receive light and send electrical signals to our brain. What is thought? Electrical and chemical functions of the brain. The brain is but an organ. There is no soul; everything that can have an affect on matter is made of matter.
