If i breath consciously the difference is that i choose how i breath
but who is this is I? it is my consciousness
we are fooled to exist by our consciousness
it is my consciousness which think that i exist as a brain/body/consciousness/soul
everything we make consciously we assume it is us
We assume other peoples and animals to be conscious but we dont know
because naturally we assume consciousness=freedom (of moving etc..)
Our consciousness is not aware of the why we do things, for exemple if i choose to move to the right i assume that i wanted to move to right but i dont know why i wanted to move to the right..
for theist the why is our soul, it is us the cause
now if we have no soul the why doesnt even exist we do things because of the laws of nature so i moved to the right because thats how our universe have evolved
so im being fooled to have this freedom, im am not the cause of my action
im being fooled to exist
then whats the point of my consciousness?
Wow, thats a very long way of saying "Why are human beings whimsical?" isn't it?
Not to break your flow but you have no reason to think the "soul" has anything to do with that.
