we dont know yet. we cant understand what consciousness is.

​

there has been some nuance in and out of mindfullness and eastern meditation.

but, science hasnt been able to measure it, so its still a decentralized term

​

there is the classic nature nurture dynamic at play. which can shape your conscious awareness. but we arent really settled on that definition.

In metaphysics, there has been theories to help explain adjacent-phenomenon related to universal theories:

IE, string theory, quasi crystals/8 dimensional theory, etc. But these are all theories, mostly based on mathematical models.

I like what Vonnegut said about humans, frankly. We dont have any absolute answers, and we are all just here to fart around
