As complex as the human mind, so is the nature of consciousness. “Consciousness cannot be accounted for in physical terms. For consciousness is absolutely fundamental. It cannot be accounted for in terms of anything else.” –Erwin Schrödinger, The Observer, 1931.

Lacking consciousness leads to no physical existence of the world in the first place. Experts and scientists in the field call this occurrence the Participatory Anthropic Principle. What the concept explains is that without consciousness, we cannot figure out the world exists as such. In the same vein, all of the energies and biophysical phenomena that the brain experiences as consciousness do indeed exist independently and outside of the brain (e.g., physics, chemistry, and quantum events). But the wondrous experience of consciousness itself seems to require a brain to give rise to it and a brain-based mind to perceive it.

I wish I could unplug today, but unfortunately the To Do List NEVER ENDS! Thanks for the reminder though, maybe I can squeeze in an hour to unwind! 💖

That's true that's what's its about. I have my brother visiting for a week. I took some time off so we can all spend some time together.
