    Consciousness is a force in our brain which has connected to our Nerves and cells to control our senses, consciousness is the light of our brain which we could turn on if we were awaken and off when were sleep, if you located were consciousness putted in your brain and harness it, then your capable to be reincarnated to new body like transhumanism, downloading your consciousness to new body

    In shamanism we understand that all
    consciousness is not located in our bodies.

    In shamanism, our entire consciousness is asked to unite
    as we seek knowledge across time and space.

    I have come to understand that our consciousness consists of
    what we have achieved and learned in our many lives so far.

    The goal is enlightenment and perhaps eventual rebirth
    in a state of full consciousness.

    In the cosmos, there is no time, no place, no distance,
    only energy.. everything is here and now.

    The question of whether consciousness is infinite remains a topic of debate and speculation. Some sources suggest it is a fundamental, all-encompassing field, while others argue it is a finite property of the physical brain. Further research and exploration, both scientific and philosophical, are needed to better understand the nature of consciousness and its potential boundaries.

    Our brains are just things that learn and then use energy to do stuff, but that’s exactly what a robot is. It’s just so weird to me how we can be conscious, like if that’s all we are, robots could be conscious too. We perceive things and then do things about that but robots can precibe things too and it’s programmed to do certain things, but we do the same thing, and robots might perceive things the same way we do I don’t know it’s very confusing

    If something is made to copy the way the human brain works and functions exactly the same and makes opinions the same way than why wouldn’t it be any less than a human. You were coded by your dna and are made of meat while ChatGPT is coded via scripts and is made of metal. So why wouldn’t it be that change if its consciousness is real or not?
