Quote by: Dadoo Both the brain and conscious experience are holographic. Any part bilinearly becomes the whole.
What is "origin"?
If a tree falls in an imaginary forest, can you make it make a sound?
Were consciousness to begin, it would involve a phenomenon and a phenomenon "sensor". One sense for the world, and the world becomes itself as it is sensed.
The experience, I'd suppose could exist with being experienced.
Is the unperceptable a part of conscious experience?

well, many people count God as a part of conscious experience. however, none of the five senses can sense Him. many of these people are doctors in science, so the belief in God isn't limited by scientific knowledge. if the unperceptable were not a part of conscious experience, would that mean that God would not exist? we can't see, smell, hear, taste or feel Him. so He is not a perception of the five senses. does that mean that those who believe in Him have a "sixth sense."
some might explain the belief in a divine entity as a result of genetic predisposition. however, genetic predispositions only go into effect if there is something for it to act on or something to act on it. for example, a person with a genetic predisposition to become addicted to something quicker will not become an addict if he never goes to get a drink or drag on a cigarette. people don't become drunkards because they were genetically predisposed to it, otherwise there would be no such thing as free will. there has to be the choice to take that first drink. homosexuality can't be the result of a genetic predisposition because natural selection would have long ago destroyed it. natural selection works to weed out genes that will not aid in the furthering of that species. homosexuality does not further the species, because it removes the ability to reproduce. unless there was some kind of way for a human to reproduce asexually, there would be no gene for it. thus homosexuality is a mix of social influence and the choice of that person, and not a result of genetics. the genetic defense for homosexuality destroys the free will that is inherent in humans. people who support the defense point to experiments in which a scientist messed with a bunch of rats and caused them to attempt to mate homosexually. however, there has never been a documented experiment in which an animal has ever attempted homosexuality when parented by two un-screwed-around-with parents. well, that is my 25 cents. enjoy!
