Hi sidelined, your quote: "Is consciousness something greater or is it an inherent property of matter under the proper impetus of these basic forces:" This is something I have thought about alot.
I wonder sometimes what is the point of all this? ie:the universe. Of course there does not have to be a point, it can simply just be.I guess I am guilty of grasping on to anything that will keep me out of the pit of nilhism. lol. Somehow through natural processes matter became sentient. Is the ultimate manifestation of energy conciousness? Or is this a feeble attempt to anthropomorphsize reality itself and give a reason for being?
Sounds crazy. Sorry for butting in.
