Consciousness: Beyond the Brain

Consciousness isn’t just an emergent property of the brain—it’s much deeper. Here’s how I see it:

The soul is an individual, indivisible singularity, infinite in nature, private, and always striving for connection with other souls. The body serves as the medium through which the soul connects to others, using the shared space of the physical world. The mind is an energy field that emerges around and through the body, acting as a bridge between the soul and the physical world.

In this framework, consciousness is the process of convergence. It’s when the mind collects bodily experiences—senses, emotions, and thoughts—and funnels them into the soul. This is where awareness arises, as the soul receives and processes that input. In essence, consciousness is the soul becoming aware of bodily experience through the mind.

But it’s not just a one-way street. Consciousness is part of a dynamic system. Will flows the other way, from the soul outward, as the mind channels the soul’s intentions into the body and out into the physical world.

In this way, consciousness isn’t simply awareness or self-awareness. It’s the soul experiencing the world through the mind and body. It’s not a product of the brain, but rather a process between the soul, mind, and body.
