Consciousness is non-physical, and self-aware.

I suppose one could hook up an electroencephalogram to a plant seed and say it has no life, nor have the information in it to grow and become an ancient Yew tree that lives a thousand years. That would conclude a scientific experiment that the seed contained no information in it because electrical impulses were not firing in it at the time of hook up. This is a philosophical argument and not in the science category. I think the Con is speaking about a scientific device that measures only the electrical impulses of a brain, not consciousness itself. I'm speaking about Epistemology and the scope of knowledge and where it may or may not exist, in an ether or other non-existence, so far as we can fathom it. Think of wireless technology as an analogy for information that travels across space. Information is traveling wireless from one device to another. Our brains are only receivers and transmitters that can process information like a wireless device, say a "smart phone". A mind could be that phone and a brain it's battery and electrical components, but the information traveling across space and time is only riding on wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum of light as we know it. That information is consciousness in the seat of the mind. All of knowledge would contain what consciousness experiences traveling through space transparently and as well through mind and within a body (brain). Information from knowledge formed over billions of years culminating in life as we know it. That information formed into the first elements constituting DNA and RNA, if one were to look at it in a biological sense or scientifically. Knowledge obviously does not go about the universe entropic ally in disorder, because there is clearly the formation of order in our universe and we reflect upon that order observing it. I'm also arguing that consciousness still exists without my brain firing electrical impulses and long after humans are extinct. Knowledge can utilize a mind and a heart and exist within the reactions one feels with more electrical impulses in their gut than in their brain, where we think more than we feel. We're merely sentient beings, like transmitters senders and receivers of consciousness from a bank of knowledge using a mind and a brain. I argue with all my heart that it as well can receive and send information as well as my other senses in it's own way. Consciousness, Love, and other forces in the universe manifest life as we observe it and in many ways for which we cannot measure or observe infinitesimally and incalculably minute. We do observe that forces in nature behave differently in different environments. Our rules of matter in this 3rd dimension do not observe the same rules of matter in the subatomic reality. This is far more complex than the difference between gravity on the Moon as opposed to on Earth. We would be vain to think that we're the only ones to hold consciousness in our brains independently from all things, including our dependence on the Sun, for not only warmth and light, but in that light from the Sun is the information granted for a plant to have information for growth through photosynthesis. And without that plant we cannot process our expelled carbon dioxide back into oxygen. Consciousness is an invisible life force on it's own self-aware in any form it manifests itself as. It exists in plants and other matter that does not have a brain. That life force always exist before there was matter and after all matter. Consciousness forms life as we know it. Without it, our brains would not have the fuel to fire those electrical impulses my contender's psychologist measures. Consciousness is free energy, like free electricity for your Leaf electric car. Our brains process the free energy and create more ideas to put back into consciousness and the bank of knowledge while life continues to evolve in different forms. Consciousness itself has no vehicle of it's own, nor needs a vehicle. It can form matter or become transparent. Consciousness is shared, and built upon and forms beings and matter, but is in itself formless and non-physical. One can only touch or observe brain matter, but one cannot touch or see thoughts. They have no weight or material substance to them and cause no friction. Only one's neurons and dendrites are physical matter that can be observed firing. Therefore, consciousness is non-physical, and self-aware, on it's own, independently from humans or other evolved creatures with brains. Consciousness to evolved in many forms before brains came into being. It's like a vast storage and retrieval system or "psi bank" of knowledge. We breathe oxygen and live in an atmosphere. We also think - and our fuel, like oxygen, is also a formless consciousness, but it is non-physical, whereas oxygen is a molecular substance. I hope to win the hearts and minds of those voting on this.
