Consciousness

"Consciousness, therefore, is what enables us to feel, think, know, intend, attend, perceive, choose, and create . . . It is the source of all meaning, value, and purpose in our lives and in the world. It is “interior,” it is what enables us to feel and know who we are inside—distinct from our external, physical bodies."

--Christian de Quincey, Ph.D.
Philosopher of Mind and Consciousness
