Until now the scientific world in general, along with scientists seemed to be much happier if consciousness was absent. Until now, it seems that no one can explain consciousness in physics, chemistry, biology or other sciences.
The problem is that consciousness cannot be observed in a way like material things. It cannot be weighed or measured. Besides that, science always tries to impose universal objective truths that are independent of the observer’s point of view or a certain state of mind. For this purpose, they deliberately avoid subjective considerations.
Our failure to account for consciousness shows that we must also question our basic assumptions. The current scientific worldview states that the material world – the world of space, time and matter – is the main reality. It is therefore assumed that the internal world in mind/consciousness must somehow emerge from the material world or the brain. Given that scientists who are at the forefront of opening the boundary still continue to avoid it, while the wider public still relies on their paradigm, on the other hand, life continues to bring various problems and challenges in various ways; both health, human relations, economics, etc. as a result, we always tend to point to the cause outside ourselves and overcome or solve it in the same way.
Unfortunately, even though the approach to solving various problems with the paradigm has never brought significant reality, people continue to struggle to dismantle the wrong piles in search of answers, such as an old man looking for rings that fall inside the house but looking outside the house just because they are more bright.
Across there, people who have succeeded in taming the mind have always reminded us that our consciousness creates our reality.

I agree that consciousness creates our reality. Beyond that is still a little fuzzy for me.
As long as you are still meditating regularly, your chances of understanding the truth and secrets of life are wide open.
Yes I have to continue as it is part of my survival.
That’s great, Carol. Do you do it with certain methods?
Psychology might have touched on consciousness…
just my thinking … :/
You are right, but that is very limited. In psychology itself, which is indeed an umbrella of knowledge, it is difficult to specify what and how the definition of consciousness is. And even then it only covers things concerning conditions, thoughts, and activities of the five senses.
