Consciousness: Is it seperate from the human body?

Labeling the universe in toto the "Universal Consciousness" does not make it conscious in any reasonable sense of the word.

I don't think the universe is self aware in any way whatsoever. Define the way in which you think it is. Then provide a little evidence.

Quote:. . . or own awareness or self conscious is nothing more than the mind that has been conditioned, this conditioning is what is known as the ego, the ego doesn't want to be anything other than itself, so to try and understand this wholeness is going against the ego, for then it becomes insignificant.

The ego is an outdated notion Freud pulled out of his ass. The mind is complex and while self aware, it doesn't appear to aware of all of it's own workings. It does not consist of an Id, super ego, and ego. But whatever are minds are, they don't appear to be connected to any vast conscious wholeness.

Quote:I think quantum science is getting close to understanding the fundamentals of what I am trying to explain, that is that everything is connected as one. This oneness was known by Mystics many years ago, and there are today many Mystic's that are starting to realize this also, again quantum science being one.

Quantum science does not as far as I know have anything to do with a conscious wholeness. Yes many mystics think there is a conscious wholeness of some kind. So do many people on LSD. Drug induced experiences can be quite similar to meditatively induced ones. But that is not evidence that the experience tells anything about the universe. It tells us much more about brain states than the cosmos.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
