What is Consciousness?
#4
RE: What is Consciousness?
Precognition is a difficult one. Logicaly it could be possible. Although everything is possible, some things are more likley than others. For instance, it is very unlikley that a duck will fly in through my window and sit on my keyboard. However, it is more likley that I may go to the toilet in 15 minutes hence if I say I am going to the toilet in 15 minutes then it is more likley to be proved true than if I said that the duck was going to fly through the window.
Although this is a little simplistic, perhaps precognition is when some people have the ability to unconciously calculate possible probibility and presents the most likley outcome if certian actions are met in the form of dreams/visions etc. It is not quite seeing into the future, but is the next best thing. I hope that made sense.


As for consciousness, I think that it is a life giving and form making force. Without a consciousness, there would be no form to the world as there would be no-one their to observe it. The world did not come into being till a conscious being observed it hence gave it form. In other words, the tree in the forest can not make a sound if there is no-one their as it has not fallen yet because no-one is their.
