What actually consciousness is?

Consciousness: we already defined this term in context of science in last post now let's define consciousness in its absolute term, science says consciousness is a product of Brain and the possible reasoning is 'if a brain is dead you cannot experience being conscious' which seems true to a certain extent. However in its absolute terms consciousness is only and ever present in the cosmos but our 5 sense organs are not capable of perceiving it.

Let's understand it with an analogy, imagine you are enjoying a sunny day by sitting beneath a tree and the ground is full of greenrey can you tell me if light is there or not (can you experience the presence of light) if yes, can I say it is because you are experiencing the reflection of light through your eyes, say earlier you are watching the reflection on your hand and now remove you hand can you still experience that reflection. if not, does that mean light was only there as long as your hand was there or it means that light is always there but you can perceive it as long as your hand was there.

That's exactly the case with us consciousness. (Do remember light, love , haterate and all that we experience with our senses have a lifespan but consciousness is the screen on which everything appears and disappear, it's everpresent and always there.)

You can understand it with three stages,

  1. consciousness
  2. Mind
  3. Body

The consciousness which is ever present but not physical, illuminates through mind and body. Mind and Body are temporary and have really short life but can work as a tool to experience the reflection of consciousness. Mind and Body is fueled by consciousness. Consciousness can exist alone but Body and mind can't exist without consciousness. So who are you, A body, A mind or Consciousness ?

Our (bodies) sense organs are only capable of perceiving it's reflection and not consciousness itself.
And the consciousness that these different levels body, mind, consciousness has got three different names about which we already talked in previous post.
