I am that I am
Consciousness, The age old question, why are we here? Christ says that your spirit is like he wind, you don't know where it came from and you don't know where it is going. Just for a brief time you can feel it's blowing and hear it's whistle.
Is a rose conscious that it is beautiful? Does it try to be so? Certainly awareness is an unknown entity, not subject to the forces of nature except through a physical body.
Some would call this religion, the reason for belief in a creator. Go with it. It is natural.

Re: I am that I am
It is my belief that the spirit and body are one, while the body lives, but it can and will exist independently of the body. I also believe that at some time the spirit will be able to recreate it's body in a new, more perfect way.
Anyone who looks in the physical world for awareness or consciousness will never find it. It exists on a higher level. I believe all matter exists on several planes. Though we see this physical plane as being in control, the reality is that there is a higher level from which it is controlled. Our consciousness bridges those realities.
