What is consciousness?

In all seriousness; i thought consciousness was defined as being fully-aware of ones actions and having the ability to make judgement calls and differentiate between good and bad or logical and illogical. I believe the Key to Consciousness obviously lies in understanding how the brain works in terms of structure and the science behind it, This i personally think can be achieved if one has a good understanding how the brain works and having a good understanding of the various scientific fields pertaining to neuroscience and other scientific disciplines pertaining to how the brain functions and what those functions produce. Although almost everything in the brain correlates with each-other in one way or another so you'll have to understand how various said scientific fields can compliment each-other too. A very interesting concept and one i am currently researching myself, there's so much to say about this subject, although i believe i said what i can... besides i was reading something, so this will have to suffice.

Human consciousness/capacity of self awareness has its biological limits. However, one can manifest the subconscious shortly after moments of high stress or emotional attachment (crying in a film). Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and so is our limited consciousness. Meditation is the only practice that can set us free and bring us to become one whole mind. My 2 cents after doctoral neuropsych/clinical hypnosis training.

Consciousness in human beings can not be defined by science since it can not be recreated in a lab everything hypothesized is mere theory. It still truly is a unknown.

Hey @Blue ! The image you posted is wonderful!!!!! I love it so much! Did you draw it? If so would you be ok with me using it as an illustration for the brain in the vat theory for a high school paper? If you didn't where did you take it from? nice day! xxx

Being aware you are a spiritual being having a human experience in a body given to you as your vehicle as you walk through your own journey in life.
