Guest guest Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 it was more about awareness being the source of consciousness, pretty long post.. Thank-you anyway for the help... Patricia --- Anna Ruiz <nli10u a écrit : Marc, Consciousness is its content. No content, no consciousness. Read the following and think about it: There are cases of people whose complete visual functions are ok but these people nevertheless are blind. They are blind because the conncection between that part of the brain which is processing visual data and the visual part of the frontal lobe is demaged. The processed data cannot get conscious and so the result is blindness. The interesting thing now is that these people can walk in a room without bumnping against furniture or at any objects there. If one hits with one's fist towards their face they quickly will bend their head aside and when asked why they did that they don't know, they just felt to act that way. Which means, these people do see but they cannot communicate what they see because that consciousness for vision is dead. But their body reacts in a normal autonomous way as if seeing. Then what for does one need consciousness ? The answer is simple, consciousness is only needed for communcation. Consciousness is a social function. All those wonderful godly, holy and great spiritual ideas about consciousness are just fancy romantic illusions. We are social beings, the larger part of our brain just exists for social reasons. Consciousness is one's subjective personal view of the world and this world human beings are exchanging and communicating amomg themselves.
