The conscious mind may be compared to a fountain playing in the sun and falling back into the great subterranean pool of subconscious from which it rises. (Sigmund Freud)
⚪️ ⚪️ ⚪️ ⚪️ ⚪️
One dimension of human existence is a subjective experience. It is consciousness.The topic of consciousness gets caught up in the idea of specialness and magical thinking so it always gets over-complicated. To simplify it, in order to understand it experientially, as opposed to intellectually, all living things are consciousness. They do not have consciousness. They are consciousness happenings. Human consciousness is not separate from human aliveness happening in a causality of this very moment. Human aliveness evolved to be an ability to be aware of being human and make cognitive and perceptive sense of the neuro-electro-chemical activity in the human brain that interacts with sensory data input. Human consciousness is therefore dependent on a living human brain and cannot exist independent of one. Utilising this understanding, it becomes clear that human consciousness combined with causal conditioning, creates the subjective experience of its own reality.
