  1. I am ashamed to admit that humanity has no idea what consciousness is. We reflect on this from the time of Pythagoras and Confucius to the present day, which is about two and a half millennia or more than 100 generations of scientists and philosophers. The result of these reflections was cosmology, the collider, spacecraft outside the solar system, rovers, an encephalogram, computers, and the creation of artificial intelligence on the way, but what is consciousness remains unknown until now. �

    Maybe the fact is that it has no form, localization in space and we can't look at consciousness from the outside? But it was almost the same with the Big Bang model at the birth of the universe 15 billion years ago and with 4-dimensional space-time with a curvature that depends on matter. No one will ever be able to look at these phenomena from the outside. However, humanity has dealt with these tasks by creating special tools-mat. physics. So maybe we lack a special “tool” for studying the essence of consciousness? For example Sir's ideasAccording to Roger Penrose, consciousness can only be explained in the language of quantum mechanics, which deals with such phenomena as the state of superposition, quantum entanglement, and others. The question is still open.

    There is an opinion that this question will be solved only when physicists solve all their problems and, left idle, finally deal with the problem of consciousness.

  2. I just believe that consciousness exists on its own. The brains of animals and humans are able to perceive and use it. The brain is an antenna that receives not only consciousness, but also knowledge from the information field of the Earth and the universe. An example from the world of technology. A bad radio receiver picks up waves worse than a good one. A more advanced human brain perceives higher levels of consciousness than animals. Let us recall the saying of the ancients: “What is above is below.”

  3. Of course it is possible.

    Consciousness and matter are in the same relationship as magnetic and electric fields. They arise (manifest) simultaneously.

    There is some “philosophical” confusion about this issue. It comes from the disagreement of some scientific authorities to consider material (really existing) that it is impossible to somehow measure, weigh, or “touch” it with the help of our devices. But these are just “dead ends” of Western philosophy-nothing more.

    Because, we still have over 90% of the calculated mass of the universe is not determined in any way and is called “dark energy” – that is, it (energy) is, but its material carrier is not. Western philosophy has driven itself into a dead end.

    And for a snack: There is no way to establish the fact of existence of something without the participation of consciousness(observer). Water from the point of view of the wave – does not exist. Living beings are waves of the ocean of consciousness. You can put a full stop here.

  4. Within the framework of the existing research methodology, to study a phenomenon or subject, we must be outside it. But a person cannot be outside of consciousness by definition, since consciousness = himself, his essence. Therefore, the question of scientific answer can not have a priori . As for mysticism, faith in higher powers, etc… here “everyone chooses for themselves”. Exactly, it chooses. Since T. naz. mystical, esoteric, extrasensory, etc. “experience” is confirmed only by the person's own experiences. And you can empathize with anything. Especially if the experience is reinforced with something like mescaline or LSD.

  5. Both no and yes. There is generally only One Self-consciousness, but it DOES NOT EXIST without its two most important properties, such as information and energy, which have many forms. At the biological level, this is the psychophysics of the body.

    If we talk about the” exit of “consciousness”, “soul” and so on from the body, then we are talking only about the narrowing or expansion of consciousness, covering more or less forms in the matrix of forms, in the horizontal of which level, or in the vertical.

    There is literally NO consciousness without a shell. Locally, you can perceive the effects that occur with the consciousness of a stranger from the position of your own consciousness, tied to a certain form.

  6. No, it's not possible. Otherwise, it would be something completely immaterial. But there is nothing in the world but moving matter. And consciousness is a property of highly organized matter.

  7. Consciousness is a product of brain activity, and the brain performs only one action – reflection.

    In other words, consciousness is the very trace that is formed in one material object (in the brain) when interacting with other material objects (objective reality – matter).

    Therefore, this trace (consciousness) is a part of the object (brain) where it is formed, so consciousness is material.

    The trace (consciousness) cannot exist separately from the material object (brain).

  8. Consciousness originates from the subconscious, and then passes into the superconscious. At the stage of subconsciousness, it cannot exist without a biological shell. At the stage of self-awareness, consciousness also grows in the biological shell of an intelligent individual. However, then, having discovered the immaterial carriers of consciousness, consciousness passes into an immaterial state and relies on them. In general, consciousness as an independent living being cannot exist, it is always a process.

  9. If you stick to the scientific picture of the world, then of course not, consciousness without a body is impossible, because consciousness, thinking, emotions-all these are the fruits of the brain. There may be a body without consciousness (knocked on the head, for example), but consciousness without a body is like light without a radiation source, which (for the sake of justice, I note) can continue to spread for some time after the destruction of the light source, but it cannot arise without it.

  10. Maybe and not just maybe, but consciousness is all that is and there is nothing that it is not consciousness does not exist. A form can exist without consciousness, but a body cannot. Because consciousness is life or God and it permeates everything and gives it everything and everything movement, and movement is evolution.

  11. Consciousness is an interesting word consisting of two (connected knowledge) and where it is connected and whether this word reflects what we want to understand NO. Combined knowledge can only exist in the form of the body, and the question itself does not relate to this, but to knowledge to awareness, does awareness exist without form? YES, AWARENESS or GOD, a PERSON, A PROCESS, a LIFE has always existed and there has never been a time when this conscious entity did not exist.

  12. Consciousness in the living organism of the human body is a hologram that occurs when a constant electromagnetic field (biofield) of the entire body meets with the electromagnetic biofield of other people's thoughts, which enter the human body through the senses: through sight, hearing, touch, smell, skin receptors (tactile sensitivity), gravity, etc. Also, bioenergy comes to a person through food: vegetable, animal, cooked by someone, etc., the bioenergy of water strongly affects the human body, since a person is 80% water.

    The circulatory arterial-venous system (AVS), as a galvanic element-an electric field generator.

    It is better to read more from the authors about blood:

    https://cont.ws/@bazhenov/699067/full

    So the incoming energy flows from outside, that is, from the surrounding reality, together with the constant electromagnetic field of the human body itself, form holograms of energies emanating from cells activated by this particular biofield that has come into the body. In the human body, the entire Table of chemical elements. These elements are the material carriers of the resulting hologram and link this hologram into Short-term or Long-term Memory. This is how the active Consciousness of a person was formed and which every day from moment to moment of the Present time collects a chain of energy light Holograms throughout the entire Life Path of a person and condenses around the Center of the “I” of a person, forming the Consciousness of his personality.

    The more chemical elements of the body's cells and blood vessels that respond to incoming energy are involved, the more clearly holograms are formed in the brain centers of the body's organs. These holograms have different color spectra. Generally multicolored rainbow

    A HOLOGRAM is a spinning shuttle that sets the heart in motion.

    A stable Hologram creates a Long-term Memory of Consciousness, which in a highly condensed form comes out with the last breath of a person, passing into the Luminous Ether of the Earth. The hologram's motion created a constant movement of electrons around it. Electrons in their orbits create a nebula around the Hologram-a Crystal in the form of a nebular ball-the last exhalation.

    In this Long-Term Memory Hologram, all the holograms created during a person's lifetime are in a condensed state. This is also the Past of a person, with whom a person meets again and corrects everything that he has done in the state of luminous ether.

    The Hologram Crystal creates a new Program for DNA helices. Once again, the DNA helices, untwisting, create a conveyor of new living cells that are automatic in their activity. This is how a new child's life is born again on planet Earth.

  13. Of course not possible! For example, a person has consciousness. Let's say more-self-awareness. It is difficult to assume that there are people who believe that the receptacle of consciousness is not the brain. It is the higher nervous activity that demonstrates the presence of consciousness. And the whole human body is an energy and transport installation. In fact, consciousness is information, and active information that can make decisions and give commands. We do not yet know how these processes occur in our brain. However, it is known that information does not exist without a tangible medium. That is, nowhere, except in the brain of the owner of consciousness, it does not exist and can not exist (persist). The brain died-consciousness collapsed. If consciousness is identified with the “soul”, then the soul cannot “fly away” anywhere. Through what communication channels? Does anyone know about the existence of such communication channels? And since all nervous activity in the human body is carried out with the help of electrical impulses, then external communication channels must also be electric. And where are they in nature? In any case, there is no actual data on the presence of “external” information carriers, the so-called “souls”, does not exist. There are only fantasies of people with a rich imagination.

  14. Consciousness always exists OUTSIDE THE PHYSICAL SHELL.

    Consciousness is not a physical shell, but the material existence of magnetized water vapor.

    Because CONSCIOUSNESS IS THE MAGNETIC ENERGY OF THE LONG-TERM MEMORY OF THE INNER LUMINOUS WATER OF THE BODY.

    Because man is a binary system: 1) BIOLOGICAL; and 2) INTERNAL MAGNETIZED WATER inside the vessels, intercellular water, and internal cellular water.

    And this whole system of biological and aquatic environment is called the HUMAN BIOFIELD.

    Information from outside always comes in the form of Energy, and therefore, through the vibrations of water vapor in the air, the Energy of Information from outside enters a person through the SENSES.

    Alien energy forms standing waves over the nodes of the Autonomic, Nervous, and Lymphatic systems and immediately creates an INTERNAL IMAGE-a THOUGHT OF THE INCOMING INFORMATION ENERGY.

    The memory of organs analyzes this information and immediately activates the nodes of all systems. And by chemical connections, the nervous system corrects the activity of cells for a response.

    The magnetic water environment of the human body is purified through the lungs and nitrogen enters through the lungs, which is processed by bacteria in the lungs, making it available for further processing.

    Through the lungs, iron red blood cells are charged with magnetic energy through water vapors of incoming air and magnetize the entire aquatic environment of the BIOFIELD of the HUMAN BODY.

    Thoughts throughout a person's life are condensed into a Magnetic disk of Long-term Memory energy, which is stored in the Thalamus of the Brain.

    After death, along with the water vapor with the last exhalation, the magnetic energy of the Memory of a person's life comes out. This memory is drawn into the Magnetic NOOSPHERE of the LUMINOUS ETHER of THE PLANET EARTH, in which a person continues his life already at the energy level of his Past Memory (Consciousness).

    That is why people, according to their memory, meet their relatives, loved ones, and colleagues, with whom they continue the creative work of their entire life to invent something or some scientific experiments.

    When the energy of memory is dissipated, a person is reborn in a physical body or in an improved form, if he developed or in a degraded form, if he did not develop, but was depressed and in past fears.

    Using new DNA, either a physically mature body and brain are born, or, conversely, a degraded body, if a person has not worked on his life.

    And so, from the physical life to the energy life and back, a person moves in a spiral down or up of his development and develops to the level of the Creator, who can already pass either into the physical body or into the energy body according to his thoughts. And at the level of the Creator, a person improves the life of the Earth and creates a variety of life on Earth together with other people of the same level.

    A person who does not develop or destroy everything in his path cannot create and loses his energy and actually dissipates, no longer having the strength to create his physical form on Earth.

  15. CONSCIOUSNESS (words that form and create knowledge) is a qualitative level of the MIND. The MIND sometimes leaves the human body and travels at different distances from the body.

    I was in this position myself once. My MIND, after leaving my body, traveled through the wards of the hospital and, seeing my body, was completely indifferent to it, as to a sheet or blanket.

    In addition, some disembodied entities with great capabilities began to talk to me when I joined the science of “Understanding the WORD”. in different spheres of the material world. From changing technologies, whether mechanical or electronic, to changing human organs and the plant world.

  16. Consciousness is material and is “just” one of the possible forms of the state of matter. The stability of consciousness is ensured by its dynamics. In other words, it is a dynamically stable form of matter. The development of consciousness continues throughout life. Actually, it is for development that dynamics are needed. No one will deny that of all the components of the human body, it is consciousness that has the maximum capabilities. Just incomparably maximum, I want to emphasize.

    Even in the Tibetan Book of the Dead, both the materiality of consciousness and its dynamics are indicated. And also that even outside the body, consciousness needs a material carrier. For example, a chair that is watched by a person whose life is leaving. I can't comment on this fact in any way. “They know better – in Tibet. It was. But, most likely, there are no illusions here. If the consciousness can remain indefinitely outside the body of its former carrier, the personality of that carrier will no longer be reflected in this eternal consciousness. Especially if the consciousness in any case needs to be tied to a material object. “It will be his consciousness…. It's all sentiment, as they say. – It (by definition) as if it is, but, for us, it doesn't seem to be there. There are few differences here from what is beyond the observable limit of the universe. Although, without the formalization of such (at least) ideas, philosophy cannot be formed as a single method of natural science. … Yes, and let them. It's not about her.

    CONSCIOUSNESS IS MATERIAL. This UNDERSTANDING is more than enough for our daily practice of knowing the world. Consciousness is material and can reproduce and operate only materially generated objects (images). Consciousness cannot operate with certain “irreducible entities”. Just by definition. I am always amazed at how brilliant Einstein's statements are. … And how few of them were used. Like a car that suddenly has an airplane engine on it…

    No. Consciousness can never operate with abstractions from abstractions. We need a material model. More precisely-materialized by consciousness. This is of practical importance.

    Everything else is for development. For example, – imagination. 🙂

  17. No, it's not possible. Because the physical body is not a shell, but a carrier. And consciousness cannot exist without a carrier, just as data on a flash drive cannot exist without the flash drive itself.

  18. So, what is consciousness? In everyday terms, this is a certain set of mental processes that are in the field of attention. But, this is rather a descriptive definition, and, in general, makes little sense. Often, citizens who talk about consciousness mean the psyche. The psyche is a process that occurs when the brain interacts with the external world and mediates the body. Simply put, the psyche can not exist either in the absence of the brain, or in the absence of the external world

  19. The origin of the nervous system and brain nodes was in worms in the Cambrian explosion 550 million years ago.
    Further, evolution has complicated it to the human brain with 85 billion neurons. But only humans in the process of development from great apes received over 7 million years of intelligence, which acts on chemical reactions in neurons.
    A person died, chemicals stopped flowing to the brain's neurons, and the mind finished working.
    There are no other options.
    But there is a program of progressive development, which has been implementing all this for 13.75 billion years.

  20. This is the wall before which modern science stops, with all disciplines from physics to neurophysiology. But this is more likely not a wall, but a terrible abyss. But experimental data will inevitably accumulate and the functioning of consciousness without a known “parent” will be proved. The brain-rather makes consciousness heavier and introduces it into the mental framework and limitations. As Kurt Vonnegut (American science fiction writer) wrote, a person lives as if chained to a cart, with an iron helmet tightly fixed on his head with a narrow slot forward. And a person in this state is rolling along the railway. And so it forms an idea of life, space and time.

  21. The topic is much more complex than it seems, so everything was so simple. If we adhere to the classical dogma, then of course everything is so. The brain is material, and generates consciousness. But this is profanity. Even plants have consciousness, which has been repeatedly proven in experiments. Where's their brain? Or the research of a cardiologist in a hospital, where he experimentally proved that during clinical death, people's consciousness was not near the body and did not fade.

    Intelligence and consciousness, imho, are not the same thing. You can be aware of yourself without a single thought. No skill or memory is needed for consciousness. It's just there.

  22. A product of an organ that cannot exist without a relationship with the organ.

    An artificial neural network, energy and its own equipment cannot exist.

    DNA, at the beginning of its existence, was a clot of a substance that could produce something similar.Just on the basis of the laws of physics and chemical reactions that occur by themselves, this faggot managed to somehow adapt, and take what he needs, conscious action has already occurred. After the nth amount of time, it began to form a shell, to protect itself from its own kind and blah blah bacteria, evolution, the creation of a single “body for easy control of the shell,” dinosaurs, and then people.

    If we take into account the fact that matter, after certain reactions with the external world, can consciously do what it needs with external stimuli and react as it needs it, then most likely the existence of consciousness in the external world is possible, but xs.

  23. The WORD CONSCIOUSNESS should be understood only as the WORD KNOWLEDGE or the WORD UNDERSTANDING.

    These issues are dealt with by the science of “Understanding the WORD”.

    Words are given by God. They are only constructive and constructive. They cannot carry ideas of violence or oppression.These are Living words and life affirming ones

    Words that can be read by the sound of letters are man-made or not alive, dead, or insensitive.

  24. Ah, what makes you think that our mind and Ego consciousnesses are located in the physical shell-the brain? Most likely, from the fact that consciousness is attached to the body initially. Consciousness is found outside the body of all living things on earth and collectively, plants, insects and microbes. When a person loses a part of the body, an arm, a leg, he still perceives it with his consciousness for a long time.

    Here is an interesting thing when Professor Anglinsky, Stephen Hawking, was paralyzed and picked the computer button with one finger and gave out information from the puppeteers. Was he partially in the body or like everyone else?

    Any shell can be adapted and repaired with spare parts,which is already being observed, but the puppeteers just don't really want us to do anything unauthorized here, but to be an example of the professor. Talking dolls and quiet ones at that.

  25. It is impossible,impossible to determine the habitat of consciousness without understanding the real meaning of the word CONSCIOUSNESS.

    CONSCIOUSNESS-means Words that Form (create) KNOWLEDGE.

    CONSCIOUSNESS is the level of understanding of words by an INTELLIGENT being.

    CONSCIOUSNESS is in a state of constant improvement.

  26. The author of the question made two very important mistakes:

    Does not know the meaning of the word CONSCIOUSNESS.

    Does not understand that there is a “physical” shell maybe he wanted to ask a question about a material body or shell,

    CONSCIOUSNESS – Words That Form (create) KNOWLEDGE.

    PHYSICAL BODY-the meaning of this word is unknown to me.

  27. For some reason, it doesn't occur to anyone to say that a person's consciousness existed before he was born. It is clear that it is formed in the process of development of the body. But many people believe that consciousness can be preserved after death or exist separately from the body. The only reasonable explanation: the darkness of low truths is dearer to me than the uplifting deception.

  28. Yes, I have seen where our consciousness is located. This is a rotating ball consisting of water molecules, information and programs included in it. By the way, it is also our power system. located in the heart area. Why? You probably guessed it. For the ordinary heart is the only organ that works non-stop, constantly.

  29. In the hypothesis, it is possible, even with your conventions, that information needs a carrier, and if the carrier and the information are one. You don't need to go far for an example, these are electromagnetic waves.That's why radio, television, and telephony work well.

  30. From the point of view of the Vedas, consciousness is chita, not material. It can be colored by the influence of matter, for example, like this:”I am Russian, I am a man, I am so many years old, I was born there.” When pure consciousness mixes its being with matter, it is a consequence of forgetting its eternal nature. Such thinking is a source of suffering. Because the eternal consciousness is not characterized by such material transformations as birth, illness, senility and death, and therefore they cause such intense suffering. The human body is a machine (yantra) and the entirely spiritual personality (atma) is the driver.

    The simplest example of forgetting one's own nature is the influence of the game process on consciousness. Consciousness becomes so involved in the game that the player begins to identify with their character in the form of a physical body in a game called life. The same thing happens in a movie theater, the viewer, as they watch the film, begins to identify with one of the characters in the film, empathize with him and forget about himself.

    Imagine an ideal matrix, which is the material universe, living beings have been playing here since time immemorial. No wonder they don't remember who they are in eternity. They only remember their own temporary legend.

    Based on the descriptions of consciousness in the Vedas we can deduce the following definition of consciousness:

    Consciousness, or chit in Sanskrit – is the basis of being and life in all its forms. It is eternal, individual, and always has an image. In its pure state, it is blissful. Consciousness is self-evident (svayam-siddha) and self-luminous (svayam – prakasa), and this is the first reality for everyone, because everything begins with the thought “I am”. It can be detected by the following signs: feelings (emotions), desires and expression of will, which means freedom of choice and action, i.e. movement or life.

  31. Consciousness is information. And information is an immaterial structure, it exists without a physical shell. And it underlies all physics. So draw conclusions.

  32. Constant questions -man, soul, immortality, not tired ? The soul factory and all current transformations were worked out a long time ago, thousands of years are stamped without fatigue and failures! Isn't it time to tell everything and pra
    vdu to everyone?!

  33. About consciousness

    Let's understand what CONSCIOUSNESS is.

    Let's think abstractly. Let's start with THE MIND. After all, there can be no consciousness without it.

    Let's imagine the Mind separately.

    Beyond any being.

    1. In order for the mind to think, the Will is needed.

    The will sets the mind in motion. Now the mind was at rest, and now it began to think.

    Without the action of the will, the mind would always be at rest and would not be realized or manifested in any way.

    Can the will be in itself, as a life-giving and actuating force?

    Why not?

    But it can only manifest itself by acting on something. And only the mind from which it comes can direct it to anything.

    In order for the mind to think, desire must appear in it.

    That is, thinking is preceded by desire.

    A, for the appearance of desire and the process of thinking, the action of the will is necessary.

    From this we conclude that the mind and will are one and act together-SIMULTANEOUSLY.

    1. For a thought not to be meaningless, it must be verbal.

    In addition, when the mind composes a thought from words, the necessary words appear to it at the right moment from MEMORY, as if selected in advance. And he doesn't have to go through all the words until he finds the right one.

    Hence the conclusion-thinking does not obey time as we know it.

    Let's return to our abstraction and reflect further.

    So we see a Mind that can think through the Will and the Word.

    We see the mind generating thought through the will.

    That is, a bundle – Mind, Will, Word.

    Let's move on.

    3. The mind must be self-aware. And to think, he needs food for thought.

    He can only become aware of himself in relation to something else. And food for thought can give him something that is outside of him.

    That is, the mind must touch being.

    That which can realize itself is CONSCIOUSNESS.

    WE CONCLUDE that CONSCIOUSNESS is REASON plus WILL and LOGOS.

    The mind is intelligent and capable of interacting with others through words.

    1. For a person, it is necessary to distinguish between the action of his will-in the mind and outside it.

    Thinking takes place within the mind.

    In this case, the will acts within the mind. The will sets the mind in motion, and the mind at the same time directs the will itself in the direction it needs. Their work is mutual.

    We can say that reason and will are one.

    The connection of reason and will is not subject to our time. They are out of our time and act simultaneously.

    The result of thinking is thought-logos.

    A thought is verbal. Words are formed into sentences and a plan-logos. Into a plan of action beyond the mind.

    The mind determines the direction of the action of the will outside of consciousness. Gives it the application vector, i.e. sets a task.

    Further, the conscious will, through the body, embodies this decision in being.

    1. Man is threefold-mind, will, body.

    The body is manifested in the physical world, but the mind is outside of physical existence, and therefore outside of the body. That's why we can't see it.

    The mind controls the body through the will emanating from it. The mind decides, and the will, bringing the body into action, embodies this decision in our being.

    The human body is completely connected to the physical world through the eyes, ears, touch, smell, etc.and with such a beautiful instrument as hands, it is able not only to be in it, but also to change it.

    And the brain is an intermediate organ between the body in the physical world and the mind outside of it. Also, the brain provides human life.

    The biggest misconception is that intelligence comes from the brain.

    I decided to do something – the brain gave the command to the muscles to perform the necessary action, again through the will.

    Reason in action is thinking.

    1. The brain does not give birth to reason, but participates in the process of transforming thought into action. It participates in the embodiment of immaterial thought in material existence.

    Consciousness plus body, there is-personal being.

    Personal being encompasses both non-being – the immaterial plane) – consciousness, and material being-consciousness and body.

    In order for a person to perform any action, he must have a desire to do so. When he decides to do something, his desire will manifest itself in being an action.

    1. Action is the final result of the work of consciousness. This is the manifestation of the immaterial mind in the material world.

    That is, being is constructed by an immaterial mind.

    Consciousness is primary – being is secondary.

    1. Our world was created by Absolute Consciousness. The Trinity God:

    Father-Mind,

    Holy Spirit-Will-Energy,

    Logos-Thought-Word.

  34. It is easy to answer “yes” to this question, but only to yourself. To do this, it is enough to learn lucid dreaming.

    In addition, the cosmological knowledge of ancient civilizations suggests that information is the force or the essence that was the cause and basis of the origin and evolution of the universe. This was the reason for the animation and personification of cosmological forces.

    Science will soon find out, too. That's what usually happens to her: it is always rediscovering what our ancestors knew long ago.

    By the way, no one is familiar with the works of the Soviet mathematician Komarov, who proposed to introduce the concept of information as a cosmological force into the model describing the universe?

    Or maybe who knows in what genes are stored instincts?

    Maybe it is not by chance that modern science defines living organisms by the presence of a molecule that can encode information? Maybe these molecules are a consequence of the energy that can carry information?

  35. I think consciousness exists outside of matter, otherwise the appearance of matter is meaningless. it appeared without the will of consciousness and has no meaning. Matter is an instrument for the manifestation of consciousness, and the product of consciousness is matter. And what came before the egg or the chicken is an unsolvable question. I think both matter and consciousness can develop only complementing each other, but both are immortal

  36. If the world can be material and immaterial, then consciousness, interpreted as the ability to perceive / experience world events, can also be material and immaterial.

    What is considered material and what is not? It depends on the abilities of the living person and the characteristics of the world.

  37. Consciousness without a physical carrier is impossible, due to the fact that it is an informational simplified model of the world, tied to the representations embedded in this model, the languages used (the language of images, speech, etc.). Just like information is impossible without a carrier. But, as you know, any information, in addition to the carrier and the languages of representation and encoding, also contains an intangible part-semantics, ideas, without which this information is not such. As a matter of fact, information is used only for transmitting ideas (meaning, semantics). there is an intangible component of consciousness, as well as an intangible part of any information object. Immaterial objects do not depend on matter. For example, the laws of nature are immaterial, they are not recorded on material media-otherwise they would be subject to entropy, destruction. Do not assume that the whole world is material. Even the materialist V. Lenin understood this (let us recall Feuerbach's criticism).

  38. perhaps 100% only unusual and uncomfortable as it is without a body.

    no time for you, no three hundred dimensions, no light, no darkness, no thoughts associated with all these laws and properties.

    and there you begin to realize that consciousness is possible without a physical shell.))

  39. Brain in a Flask is a series of thought experiments designed to understand certain elements of our understanding of knowledge, reality, truth, reason, and meaning. This assumes the following:

    * Our brain is the source of consciousness.

    * The brain works on electrical impulses .

    * External stimuli can affect how the brain works.

    · Any external stimulus to the brain can be simulated to such an extent that the brain will not be able to distinguish simulated stimuli from natural ones.

    The bottom line is that you can be a “brain in a jar” that feeds on an external source of false impulses all your life. There is also a version that you [being the brain in the bank] see hallucinations all your life because of the lack of stimuli.

  40. Consciousness is impossible without the brain creating an image of the external world. However, the brain creates this image of the external world not inside itself, but in the space around it. It is by operating in this way that the brain uses nerve impulses to make the body move. According to Descartes ' identity of space and matter, space is matter, and matter is space that moves relative to itself, the image of the external world created by the brain outside of itself has a material basis and therefore is able to detach from the body and exist independently for some time.

  41. And as you understand it, you know something about the physical shell other than yourself.
    Well, you need to start by reading Engels, about whom you also just heard something somewhere near Marx and Capital, and even then in the judgments of an outside mind that cannot control its emotions. And in his works on dialectics, he identified groups of movements, the most fixed is physical, then chemical, biological, and after that, Soviet scientists identified the geological, (it is the level of the soul, the basis for its generation without any divinity) and the highest is human, which is why the highest level of development of the World, and therefore the power in it, is human. Just do not flatter yourself, we all have five percent of the human population, alas, we are losing the war in our minds to underdeveloped beings like the gods, who have nothing human, who claim that this place and this World should be abandoned…. but modestly umplchivaya why they themselves want to take it.
    SO YOU CAN'T HAVE CONSCIOUSNESS OUTSIDE OF THE PHYSICAL WORLD, but you can save yourself from the highest level of development.

  42. First of all, you need to understand that a person lives in an illusory reality. And in reasoning about what consciousness is, you need to go beyond the illusion.

  43. It's like a search for extraterrestrial civilizations . Theoretically, it could very well be . In practice, no one has ever seen them . But logically speaking, it is not difficult to guess that any operating system, including consciousness, needs a physical medium . And in theory, they can be anything . From protein structures to photons of light . Moreover, it is clear that consciousness in its development went from simple to complex . If you extrapolate further . In principle, our mind is a stage in the development of consciousness from simple to complex ………

  44. This is an eternal question. It is unlikely that humanity has made much progress in solving it since it was first asked. But at least a person has a choice to join: materialists, idealists, or be like Aristotle and combine a hybrid form of these teachings. More precisely, these kinds of understandings of being.

    Personally, I have never doubted that consciousness can exist without a physical medium. But I didn't always agree with the concept of a World of Ideas, a biblical Heaven or Hell, or the modern notion of a higher intelligence existing somewhere in the universe.

    Nevertheless, we must assume that if consciousness can still exist without a physical form, then it existed even before this form itself appeared. That is, the universe appeared. And most likely it will exist after the last matter in the universe decays. Most likely, it is not even bound to space-time.

    The number of such consciousnesses no longer makes a difference, if there can be at least one. Whether they came out of it, or it has always been and will always be the same-also does not matter.

    Nevertheless, I was interested in the concept of the “wheel” from Hinduism. Based on it, I realized that the consciousness inside the physical carrier at the time of its appearance there may differ from what (or where)it is located. this consciousness existed before. Or what shape it took. Perhaps it was something more (or less). It was part of something, just as a cell is part of a human body, and it had no will of its own. In this case, it was not a separate consciousness until it emerged within a separate physical medium.

    In the same way, after the destruction of the host, consciousness lost the individual form that it had during the host's existence, and became something else again. More or less. Part of or retained its independence. However, it still underwent changes, since it is no longer part of the physical media. And these were changes that can no longer allow our consciousness to contact the physical world. It was as if it had moved between dimensions.

    This is very important, because I do not believe that the same consciousness can change physical media and remain the same. If it can exist without a carrier, then during this period it itself is radically different from its version inside the carrier. And in the new carrier – it will already be a new consciousness.

    In this sense, I also separate the concept of “consciousness “and the concept of” information”, because for me they are different things. I also separate the concept of “consciousness” from the concept of “soul”, because these are also different things.

    But this is all purely my opinion.

  45. YES. Consciousness enters and interacts with the human body without the person's knowledge, but awareness is determined to the extent of knowledge, feelings, and understanding of oneself….

  46. You can answer like this: what exists.

    A person's consciousness or soul is inherently eternal.

    (Isaiah 8: 19).”All that your hand can do,

    do what you can;

    'Cause in the grave, where will you go,

    there is no work, no reflection, no knowledge, no wisdom” (Ecclesiastes 9:10).

    The Bible :The Gospel of John chapter 11 verses 25 and 26

    Jesus said: “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me, even if he dies, will live.

    And whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die.”

  47. There must be a material carrier. Consciousness is a dynamic structure that reflects (reacts) on the external impact. How it is formed does not matter. Human consciousness is shaped by biochemical and electrical processes. Electricity as the most flexible” material ” for creating structures. One can imagine a mechanical structure resembling ancient Felix-type adding machines. Ink in an inkwell, or graphite pencil rod, is a structureless (in this context) material. The written word is already structured. But, this is not a dynamic structure. A weak analog of consciousness is a computer operating system. As its functions increase, it becomes closer to the human mind.

    The most primitive analogue, a footprint in the sand. There is no trace without a tangible medium. Nothing happens to the sand particles themselves, only their relative position has changed.

  48. Our traditional ideas about the nature and essence of consciousness are at the level of children's ideas. They are conspicuous, crude, and not suitable to explain the true nature of consciousness. Consciousness is not generated by the brain, it is not localized in a person and is not fixed in time. Consciousness is eternal!!! With respect.

  49. The basis of life on Earth is a state of BALANCE (PEACE) of HARMONY both within a person and between him and his environment. At the moment of changes in the state of balance (rest) of harmony, brain activity is activated, human consciousness is “turned on” and all internal mechanisms (physical, biological, neuropsychic, instinctive, humoral, etc.) are set in motion to achieve the status quo under the control and with the participation of consciousness. Therefore, consciousness is an integral product of human brain activity, performing a control and stabilizing function. Hence, a person's consciousness cannot exist outside of his physical body (shell). As for the existence of other forms of consciousness, I believe that this is a question of philosophy.

  50. What is consciousness has already been studied and everything has long been clarified. So.

    Human consciousness is just a software environment for controlling the body. It includes the BIOS-subconscious processes of the ancient brain, instincts, and highly primative functions. And an operating system with flexible advanced settings – low-priority functions, emotions.�

    “Operating system” – consciousness appeared not only in humans, but in a number of human-like apes under the influence of external factors. And it is not something out of the ordinary.

    Most animals are much better adapted to life. A wolf does not need to study 5 years at university to learn how to search for food on its own.

    The consciousness of any being is a pyramid of needs. Like Maslow's pyramid with changes.

    When consciousness is transferred digitally to an artificial medium of non-biological origin using the ” Theseus Ship Paradox “(see inet), consciousness will gradually cease to be human.

    Imagine if you were given the opportunity to chip one of your brain's lobes right now. What will you choose and who will you become?

    Expand the brain area responsible for creativity or data storage? Or maybe chip neural connections to speed up the brain as a whole?

    If you meant the existence of consciousness in the form of energy without a carrier at all, then this is unlikely.

    Because by moving into energy, consciousness will be freed from emotions, needs, and will also begin to exist outside of time and space. What remains will no longer be a person, but an incomprehensible thing.
