Consciousness is the state of awareness, or, of being aware of an external object or something within oneself. It can be defiend as sentience, awareness, subjectivity, the ability to experience or to feel, wakefulness, having a sense of selfhood, and the executive control system of the mind. Despite the difficulty in definition, there is a broadly shared underlying intuition about what consciousness is. The awareness at a given moment forms part of our consciousness

According to D. Chalmers, one of the most interested modern philosophers of mind, told that consciousness 'supervenes' on our body. It means there cannot exist two equals body, living in identical worlds, which differs in its behavior.
So, we have some kind of free-will, but it is limited by the world, conditions and the type of our wishes.

Consciousness is the state of awareness, or, of being aware of an external object or something within oneself. It can be defiend as sentience, awareness, subjectivity, the ability to experience or to feel, wakefulness, having a sense of selfhood, and the executive control system of the mind. Despite the difficulty in definition, there is a broadly shared underlying intuition about what consciousness is. The awareness at a given moment forms part of our consciousness Consciousness is subject to modifications through inner emotions or external sensory objects through the strong likes and dislikes they generate . Different states of consciousness emerges on the appearance of emotions like greed, anger, passionate interest, jealousy, lust, grief and so on. As per eastern philosophy, amidst these constantly changing states of consciouness through varying situations and circumstances, there is a changeless state of consciousness called Self or Awareness. Nisargadatta states in this regard, "Awareness becomes consciousness when it has an object. The object changes all the time. In consciousness there is movement; awareness by itself is motionless and timeless, here and now. The meditator hangs on to this changeless state of Awareness through practice of mindfulness or meditation, and thereby keeps himself aloof from the mental modifications caused by likes and dislikes due to inner emotions or sensory objects, thus keeping a balanced mindset without going to emotional extremes. |

I think that the most interesting aspect of consciousness is that is happens in the now, whereas our formal thinking is based on cause and consequence. Einstein thought that there is something in this now that is outside of science, basically because our formal thinking is about how past (cause) is linked to the future (consequence), but seemingly can't get hold of the actual experience, of awareness.

The same problem has been solving since D. Hume times. Causation is the most misunderstandable thing in the world, probably because of not understanding the present processes of mind. But there are transcendental numbers and where is their location? So, the same about 'the present processes' - it is located there such numbers locate. |
