The Most Accurate Description of Consciousness

Consciousness is experiencing. Consciousness is indeed a reflective. Consciousness is something you can"t quite describe, When I think about consciousness I realize that its there. Atoms consist mostly of empty space. If a proton was scaled to the size of a golf ball the election would be really small and miles away. All matter consists of empty space. Consciousness is like a light shining through a prism and creating multiple colors, aspects, and emotions; but consciousness is not the colors, consciousness is more like the light itself. I have a personality, which is a color of the light I have an ego, a subconscious, a collective unconscious. That consciousness in which many forms of life experience, is the light. while the body, the ego, the mind, the personality, are like prisms, and the colors of light is the "I" experiencing this moment. The "I" that is the "colors" of the subconscious, the ego, the shadow, persona. Consciousness is what I am experiencing. I am consciousness we all are I assume, I speak for myself when I describe myself, I describe things that are not my consciousness. I am a being that is experiencing consciousness. The metaphors take away from the idea of just being. In a sense they are true but they take away from the indescribable mystery, like the rainbow its hard to tell where one color ends and another begins. Don"t forget a metaphor points to the truth, if you get to caught up in the metaphor, the truth will be blurred. And the truth is that an accurate description of consciousness is impossible to describe. Every individual has their own experiences, who is to say that any individual"s description of consciousness is more accurate than anyone else"s? Serotonins do not make us dream, dreaming has more to do with melatonin and the other chemical the pineal gland produces. Light is a better metaphor for consciousness than water. But both metaphors pale in the comparison to the actual phenomena of consciousness. I would say that every individual experiencing is a universe or an aspect of the universe. Everything I smell, taste feel and perceive is my own universe, or just a facet of this universe. When I die, my experience of this universe will cease to be but the universe will still exist. Therefore, everything we experience is not the universe, I don"t know what the universes behavioral patterns are. The Universe is cold and indifferent, guided by rules of science. We get meaning from these patterns from ourselves. The universe I experience comes from what I perceive though the subjective lens of myself. Sure matter acts both as a wave and a particle depending on if it is being perceived or not. But that does not mean we understand it or control it. The universe will still be here, as in matter, such as suns and giant stars. The universe can exist without us. We just give a lot more meaning to the universe and the ideas we project onto the universe. We don"t know A description of consciousness is indescribable. Because as soon as you put a word to consciousness you diminish what it really is. Consciousness is subjective. We cannot separate ourselves from consciousness because it is the cloth in the blurry tapestry of experience, emotions, perceptions, thoughts, and personalities, called I. Consciousness is elusive it"s hard to pin down what it is and what it is not. There is truly no accurate description to consciousness, and because I know I can"t form a truly accurate description of consciousness, but in recognizing that consciousness cannot be accurately described, my description of consciousness is slightly more accurate than Aerogant"s, But so insignificantly in that both descriptions pale in the actual experience of consciousness, if you can even call consciousness an experience.
