    I believe once we fully understand consciousness, we’ll understand the nature of reality. Of course, I could be wrong.

      We’re never going to ‘understand consciousness’ because it comes to conclusions we don’t like, so it’s in our best interests to not understand it.

      That’s an interesting idea.

      Let me try. It’s all a loop. Each universe is just another conscious being’s thoughts manifesting themselves into what you see before you. In your head there is one just like what you see around you.

        Very interesting. I’m in the party of both ways. Either way I see it, if I die and am simply gone forever, that’s cool. Atleast I won’t know any better, like before we were born. Alternatively, if we take reincarnation as truth, then shit, that’s extremely interesting and opens so many doors my feeble mind cannot comprehend. Really, either way I’m completely cool with. I’m just simply amazed that we are here and now, regardless.

      There is a theory which states that if ever anyone understands exactly what consciousness is for and why we have one, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

      There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
