The Most Accurate Description of Consciousness

This is an interesting topic. I wouldn"t want to see it get dragged down by semantics With that said, melatonin and serotonins make a world of difference if you are a chemist or a neurologist. My point is, it is important to be accurate in the symbols you choose to assign meaning to an object. The more concrete the metaphor the more accurate that metaphor can convey, so long as metaphors can effectively convey an idea. Furthermore, metaphors can be powerful, even more so when they are used to describe things that are difficult to describe. Ok I may be begging the question here. But metaphors can be dangerous, if you do get too hung up about what metaphor is the right one. When you use a metaphor to describe something, there is no guarantee that the idea behind the metaphor was conveyed accurately. In other words, the same metaphor could convey two very different things to two different people. Consciousness is like the concept of Tao. Trying to know consciousness let alone describe it is trying to observe the observer. Perhaps, we are all one consciousness. Perhaps, this "I" is just a mirage. This thing called being is very profound. But I am still here, I get hungry and If I don"t eat I know I"ll die. (whatever death means.) in fact, at some point. I will die. If this "I" is a mirage it is a damn convincing one. This is just a ride, but I want this to be the most enjoyable ride possible. (another tip of the hat to Bill Hicks). Each of us is a tapestry of experiences, thoughts, feelings, memories, but there is something else. The part of me that makes decisions (My Will, perhaps.). Consciousness is not a weaver of this tapestry; conscious is a part of the tapestry. When you try to take the tapestry apart to find consciousness the tapestry just unravels. Maybe we are here to see ourselves. We project so much of ourselves onto the world. We are trying to see our reflection in wavy pond by projecting ourselves on our surroundings. There is much knowledge to gain from metaphors, but they only work when they take on a literal form. Knowledge of the literal makes way for communicating the abstract, left and right brain acting together. Do not ignore the synchronicities, the archetypes, or even just the moment you are in now. Just do not ignore everything else. This is advice I give to myself. I try to find that balance between left and right brain. I have to sometimes grit my teeth and make myself do tedious and boring, other times I"m focused too much on the mundane and stop trying so hard, and get more in touch with my intuition. The most important advice I always try to abide by is. Question Everything. There is a consciousness, there is a will. I dare say that I have my own free will. But I don"t think any description of consciousness is accurate. You cannot pin it down. I do not know what you mean when you say light is electricity empowered. Or that we have amoebas inside us and they create our personality. When I read this it does not describe consciousness to me. Maybe it describes it to you, but not the rest of the world. To say that you have the most accurate description of consciousness is self-defeating, because consciousness dwells within our subjective experiences, memories, thoughts, ect. If I thought your description of conscious is the most accurate then I would say so. If your description of consciousness is truly the most accurate, you should be working on getting it published. I still fail to understand what consciousness is exactly. You should keep trying, though. I felt at some spots you were pointing to some deep truths. Food for thought.
