> > bbella: But, it is also possible to conclude that by the very act of our concluding (belief) we effected the very fabric of what we observed and may have "awakened" consciousness within it. Or, it may appear conscious because we look thru conscious eyes and conclude it has consciousness, altho it may not. I don't know which. I remain open.[/i] > > dhw:Thank you for these very illuminating observations. I can only nod approvingly at the sound of so many nails being hit on their heads! The plain fact is that none of us know the origin of consciousness, whether consciousness exists independently of those forms we are familiar with, or the extent to which our own consciousness imposes or influences the patterns we observe. I have tried to develop your admirably balanced line of thought in my response to Tony.-I'll remind both of you that our human consciousness affects every quantum experiment we try.
