Natural Order and Science

[Harris]

It is not a matter of belief; it is a matter of fact. Conscience is a common and original inner voice that is free from any contamination of human desires.

Explain how this works then.

Is a conscience not a part of the brain? Does it float freely nearby? If so then how does it interact with the brain? How does information from the conscience get transmitted to the brain and what's stopping it from being overridden? What physical mechanisms are involved? How can a conscience exist without matter? Where does it get its energy from?

Please present the evidence for an inner voice that you call a conscience interacting with the brain that is free from human desires.

If the conscience is part of the brain then it is part of what makes human desire. Please point to exactly what part of the brain it is a part of and provide evidence.

As the saying goes, put up or shut up.

You are raising a mind-body problem which is a mystery of all times. Many philosophers, psychologists, neuro-scientists and even physicists had tried to resolve this problem through different mechanical means even by means of quantum realm but no one was ever able to describe subjective experiences and how mind and body correlate.

Although a huge literature is available on consciousness proposing several different theories but I am more inclined towards the radical approach that David Chalmers has taken on to investigate consciousness. Even if his radical theories are not giving anything promising but to me it seems they contain some element of reality. I am offering you his short enlightening lecture at TED in which he has summarized all his research and gave two radical ideas about consciousness. This lecture would give you some idea about consciousness and by watching it you perhaps gain a better understand not only on consciousness but also on conscience.
