It is impossible to start this blog without first discussing the concept of conciosuness.  It is a concept that scientists and philosophers have baffled over for centuries so I don’t expect to be able to resove the difficult questions around consciousness in this blog.   But what I hope to do is present a simple explanation as to how I believe consciousness ticks!

The brain translates consciousness into mind and matter

Consciousness is the essence of life but in order to explain it we have to shift our focus somewhat.  Contrary to popular belief, consciousness is not a by-product of life but all life is born of conscoiusness.  This theory is known as the primacy of consciousness.

That means that consciousness is the creator of our material universe and we are all possibilities born out of  that concsiousness.

The concept of consciousness is one which science cannot prove (or disprove), measure or specifically locate.   It poses a problem for the scientific because it cannot be quantified or measured using the material systems of traditional scientific methods.

Consciousness is not the mind or matter.  Mind and matter are mere possibilities  of consciousness.  Every physical strucutre in the human body is born out of consciousness.  If we can adapt our world view to accepting the primacy of consciousnes, we can also open the door to the possibility that healing is not a pure physical response but true and lasting healing must start with a shift in consciousness.

This blog, The Conscious Brain will show how the brain is a physical manifestor of our conscious experience and by understanding what the brain is doing, we can map it back to specific experiences which cause ill health.

Enjoy the journey!
