I think Consciousness as an illusion of Perception, bought on by the bodies ability to sense its environment through the 5 senses, over ones lifetime, one collects information about the environment.

Information enters the body through sensory perception, and is stored in the body over time, one can be tricked into thinking that ones consciousness / mind is separate to the body, when it isnt, the mind is part of the body

If one thinks that it is separate then how consciousness connected to the body?

I don’t think of my mind as being separate from my body.

OTOH, the head is part of the body, whether or not it’s attached. Which is why “whole body transplant” is an inaccurate term.

I’ll get back to you on this. I’ve never treated “consciousness” as anything other than the opposite of “unconsciousness”, but I’ll give it some more thought.

Here are a selection of scientific theories of consciousness.

I think this is inadvertently hitting it on the head. The body is a machine that is fueled by the input it receives from the environment. In this light the universe is consciousness and physical bodies are just the medium it employs in it’s own reflex to investigate itself.

being self-aware is that extra sense of what the mind does, the internal environment, it’s various workings and what’s sensed of.

that was what I was looking for.

be little question of the importance of input and experience of that external for development, and health, I mean humans evolved within the physics of the world, and co-evolved with other species (of an organic aspect), but please don’t lock me in a sound-proof darkened room to prove it, point to wolf boy, have me dance like a pigeon, isolate me requiring I re/learn how to fuck, or make me a guard in a prison experiment, or variously twist my entire reality by hijacking environment for that external, exclusively.
