The second element to consciousness is excerptation. This is the ability to recall selected descriptive elements of a particular concept relevant to our experience. For example, if I ask you to think of an amusement park, you may first think of a Ferris wheel, a dart game you were good at, or maybe the shady looking carny who once stood in front of the balloon targets in order to prevent you from winning the good prizes. In all these cases, you are taking an excerpt from the total experience as representative of the whole.…

In thinking about psychology and consciousness, the idea that the mind and the body are separate entities that interact makes a lot of sense to you. This view that you hold is most like the view of:…

Humans seem to be an entity made up by a combination of both physical properties and mental properties. Folk psychology of soul proposed by Bering (2006) suggested “common-sense mind-body dualism” is a cognitive adaptation that evolved through natural selection. According to this quote, it is believed that individual is fundamentally constituted of body, mind and volition. For centuries, people have tried to discover what makes an individual from philosophical, psychological and physiological perspectives. At different stages of this knowledge in understanding human beings, behaviourism, humanism and the study of consciousness will be critically evaluated in this discussion.…
. Consciousness consists of a random flow of thoughts, feelings, memories and sensations that pass freely through our mind that's endless and that there is never a gap between two thoughts.…
Campbell says that consciousness is something that the mind uses to guide you to a certain direction or towards a set of purposes. Consciousness is all your thoughts at a deeper level and your awareness or perception of your surroundings. Your consciousness depends on your level of energy that leads us to higher level consciousness. What leads you to these levels of consciousness? Myth. Mythology transforms your consciousness on a deeper level and to a higher spiritual level. You can not develop your consciousness without mythology…

There are various states of consciousness; the one that people spend the most time in is waking consciousness, the alert state that people are in when they are awake. Other times people are in another or altered state of consciousness. In the following, the four types of altered states of consciousness and their behaviors will be examined.…
Property dualists argue that consciousness is an emergent phenomenon of the physical processes of the brain and thus it is important to note that this leads to a belief in asymmetrical causation. Mental properties are caused by physical properties, but have no effect themselves on the physical properties, making the relationship one way.…
Consciousness is more then just living, I believe there are multiple consciousnesses, but the reality we see is merely the frequency the subatomic particles we are made of pick up. In 1961 a physicist named Claus Jonsson conducted an experiment called “The Double Slit Experiment” or as I like to call it, “The Two Hole Experiment” in which Jonsson shot electrons through two holes to observe how subatomic particles react in stress. As you would imagine, an electron couldn't possibles go through both holes at the same time... or could it? Jonssons discovery was a major break through in quantum physics. Heres the peculiar part, when you were directly observing the electrons, they would go through either one hole or the other, but the what we couldn't see, the results showed electrons traveling through both holes, leading physicists to believe that electrons emit wave like attributes and maybe can be at many places at once! This discovery led to theories like “The Multiple Universe Theory” and my very own theory on consciousness. We all know that we are all made of atoms, and in these atoms are electrons and it is these subatomic particles that create the wonders of life. Heat, light, electricity, and even in processes as complex as cellular respiration are all direct products of electrons, which we now know have very odd characteristics that can be in many places at once, and emit wave like frequencies. That makes me believe that there are many versions of reality, the electrons that we are created from are only picking up a certain frequency from the surrounding electrons. I like to look at the universe as a library, and the books are the laws of nature, the books all…
