Where does consciousness come from?
gregorylent: western science is barbaric, primitive, stubborn, and totally ignorant about this ... and so arrogant about their model, which says consciousness comes from meat ... yogis have nailed this so well over a few thousand years of investigation of the nature of the self and its relationship to consciousness ... you will have to learn some new vocabulary, and do some meditation  ... worth every moment spent   ....  just as an example of the subtlety of the east, there are five words in sanskrit for aspecets of the mind, while we have only the one ..your question is great, the motivation is wonderful, and may your search be fruitful .. it is the reason for birth, to come to understand this ...enjoy
