@psychedelicsdotcom: Some researchers argue that consciousness begins with feelings, not thoughts, and that the body plays a far greater role than many people assume. Michael Pollan highlights work from neuroscientists who challenge the idea that awareness is mainly produced by the brain’s higher “thinking” centers. Instead, they point to deeper structures tied to sensation and emotion as foundational to being conscious at all. In this view, feelings are the body’s way of signaling the brain, creating the basic experience of being alive. That reframes emotion as essential data rather than a distraction from rational thought. #Consciousness #Science #AGI

People in the comments need to read Antonio Damasio’s book Descartes’ Error to understand what he’s saying.

I believe that consciousness is received by the brain, not produced by it.

Many have spoke on this but for me the one who put this into language best has to be Osho Bhagwan if you just listen to his interpretation it’s captivating and will have you dancing

I disagree. If someone insults you there isn’t anything in your body that makes you mad. There is a cognitive aspect of emotions. The hormones only amplify or persist those emotions and in some cases (hunger) starts them

storytrippin :

Consciousness is non local. We're tuning into a field with our brains

Egregiously WRONG, he is conflating "sensation" with feelings, also implies "feelings" are "emotions."

I agree

The Simple Pineneedle :

The practice of meditation that focuses upon feeling allows the practitioner to go beyond thought, while sitting in solitude, stillness, iand darkness. In short, the senses that go out into the world, instead to place them within. A 45 year meditation practice for me. Joy is there, peace the feeling is there. Clarity, understanding and wisdom from within. To feel and feel and feel. Simple feeling.

Siddhartha :

The consciousness is the quantum field which hosts all of the quantum fields and universes. We are each iterative codecs, operating as expressions of our own quantum field. It is all us and we are all it.
