All Life Shares It

some such as fireflies glow...but for humans...consciousness is a crack
for light to flow in

bodies are chemical batteries
and
neural network fractal sensory systems
that
exist in earths magnetic and suns energy fields
as
solar panels with on-off switches
to
wake as light or sleep as dark
states
called conscious or unconscious
that
we might navigate minds full of thoughts

….thanks...essentially we are just blobs electrically stimulated by such as light energy.... consciousness is but a reflection of a 3d reality that is itself but a 3d shadow reflection of 4d time-space......stan sand

Yes - we are indeed composed of chemicals - but we are really something more. Your last line tells us this. Peace & Love Matthew Anish

reality tends to fill a mind with thoughts...the challenge is to plot the course through one's own maze with words ...we all develop a personal approach with respect chants/chance

I think our bodies are our temporary sensory unit that help us navigate as well as allows us to communicate with the world and the universe. Just like how our cars and other extensions feel like part of us they are still not us.

it is strange how 'objective' space-times can appear as just time-space 'dreams'

Interesting. Would you venture to suggest who or what creates the light?

the energy we input is gravitational, electromagnetic, cosmic, and just plain universal....we are as light bulb filaments, run energy through the system and it makes its own light...thus our consciousnesses see and question the world from birth (food, water, this, that)
