Today's muse, what if the human species is a consciousness creation machine? Would this consciousness exist on its own, separate from the existence of the species? Would this consciousness reside in a container within our awareness, or our we contributing our consciousness to a space/thing/container, ironically, outside our awareness?
Does each human being add his or her consciousness to the equation, which would include, by way of an examples, George Washington's, Martin Luther King and Gandhi's consciousness? Is the quality of one person's consciousness contribution, higher or lower than another e.g., Gandhi's versus Washington's? Also, does one species create a different quality of consciousness than another e.g., dolphins versus humans versus ants? Does the concept of time exist in this consciousness space/thing/container, which might then allow for an outflow of consciousness, balancing the inflow? Is there a fixed amount of consciousness in the universe, that is recycled in some elegant flow like water is on earth?
Does this space/thing/container have an awareness of itself, and purpose... does it act, and make decisions? Are human beings, by some law of nature, by definition unable to become conscious of this space/thing/container. Could there be subtle clues, like seeing something out of the corner of one eye, that may indicate that a space/thing/container does exist. If we somehow succeed in becoming conscious of it, will that act destroy it, and us?
