What if consciousness is not something that appeared inside matter?

What if matter appears inside consciousness?

That question changes the direction of the entire discussion.

Most people begin with matter.

The universe exists.

Stars exist.

Planets exist.

Bodies exist.

Brains exist.

Then consciousness somehow appears.

This book begins somewhere else.

It begins with the one thing nobody can honestly deny experiencing: consciousness itself.

Before you can study the universe, you must experience the universe.

Before you can read a scientific measurement, there must be awareness capable of seeing and understanding that measurement.

The question therefore becomes:

What is consciousness?

Is it only a product of the brain?

Or is the brain an interface through which consciousness experiences the material world?

This book explores the second possibility.
