As you say WE you already admit that you are the consciousness.
Who is We or I then?
That is not the brain.
The brain is made of matter so it can't be it.
Who then other than YOU.
But the problem is not so simple especially when someone consciousness is not that strong.
The muscles can be very very weak and flaccid or can be very very strong or anywhere in the middle
according to our exercised or not exercises.
The consciousness works on similar lines.
If we make it stronger with our efforts then we will be able to understand who is who.
On the contrary if we do nothing then we may well confuse the consciousness with the brain or with nothing
and from nothing you get nothing real.
Consciousness is made in your brain, Rik. I still don't exactly see how that's possible, but you seem to be using language in some capacity and you are somehow getting it onto the internet, so I have to assume that you're a conscious human who is at least intelligent enough to use an electronic device.
Brains, Rik. The self comes from your brain. The maintenance of your systems comes from your brain. The idea of a permeating god consciousness comes from brains. The reluctance to admit wrongdoing and accept new information comes from your damn brain.
Burden of proof, Rik. It's on you. It's not up to us to prove you wrong. The title of your thread is so hypocritical it should make your eyes bleed.
The brain is made of matter while the consciousness is something abstract.
The brain give energy to the consciousness so this consciousness can be active and think or do things.
It is like the vehicle that you drive.
Without the vehicle you could not proceed along this life.
That doesn't mean that the vehicle is you.
It is the driver that dictate what to do not the vehicle.
But don't worry Red.
Sooner or later this issue will be known to you.
As the old granny said........IS NEVER TOO LATE TO LEARN.
