There is no reality of consciousness independent of the effects of various vehicles of content on subsequent action (and hence, of course, on memory).
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is only the consciousness of a nonexistence which allows us to realize for moments that we are living.
Consciousness, much like our feelings, is based on a representation of the body and how it changes when reacting to certain stimuli. Self-image would be unthinkable without this representation.
Once we have learned to read, meaning of words can somehow register without consciousness.
Actually, I think my view is compatible with much of the work going on now in neuroscience and psychology, where people are studying the relationship of consciousness to neural and cognitive processes without really trying to reduce it to those processes.
Now, there are a very large number of bodily movements, having their source in our nervous system, that do not possess the character of conscious actions.
Consciousness is what makes the mind-body problem really intractable.
The mind of a human being is formed only of comparisons made in order to examine analogies, and therefore cannot precede the existence of memory.
I know there's a consciousness energy that operates completely independent of the physical body you inhabit, that maintains... awareness after the body's gone.
The human consciousness is really homogeneous. There is no complete forgetting, even in death.
Consciousness is a phase of mental life which arises in connection with the formation of new habits. When habit is formed, consciousness only interferes to spoil our performance.
