This is a physical world and I am conscious . . . how the illusion of the outer world is created is still a mystery
Errrr . . . so *is there* a physical world or is it an illusion? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : According to Sam Harris, "there is no scientific evidence that consciousness exists in the physical world." This is a physical world and I am conscious. That rather puts the kibbosh on that idea. I suspect that what we have here is a category error. Consciousness isn't a thing so you won't ever be able to remove it and dissect it. Consciousness is a process, and one that can be measured and predicted, even altered. So to call this process a noun instead of an verb is your error and why it gets so confusing. How the illusion of the outer world is created is still a mystery though, but like all mysteries it is fathomable.
