You and others aren't getting anywhere because "consciousness" hasn't been clearly defined. Do rocks and balls have memories that they can recall? Can...
Around and around we go. Again I ask, what is "spiritual"? How is this any different than the Christian belief that God is everywhere and in everythin...
Sure. Occams razor and I'm not using these poorly defined and loaded terms, like "spirituality", "sacred" and "divine". I asked for "spirituality" to ...

How is it that you are aware of other minds if not by the same way you are aware of everything else in the world - via the senses? If the world is an ...
:roll: Word salad. If "we" are all of the same mind - meaning there is only one mind, then solipsism. Cultures and species would be part of the illusi...
