I still can't get my head around the microbes consciousness being part of the hosts consciousness
(This assumes the microbe is conscious )
definitely doesn't mean the universe is unconscious
So then the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts?
Sorry but energy no matter the form it takes is eternal. So yes it is interdependent
Um, because it is limited by the senses?
I'm more inclined to say it is non-conscious: it doesn't have the capacity to be conscious.
Depends. Which whole? which parts? how do you define 'greater'?
I had difficulty figuring out what you were trying to say here. Could you say it a different way?
Basically my answer as well. There are both conscious and unconscious activities in both the body and brain.
so you, polymath, seem to know more about the cells or bots than the cell or bots knows about polymath?
So are you saying energy is conscious?
Try to show how the self is still part of the universe, even is the personality is unawares of it
I am energy yes. Thank you for the dialogue. I must break here. The best to you.

The wonder and awe of "all things".
Well, we don't know all that is out there, but for advanced life like ours (which requires at least a vast stretch of time with stable excellent conditions for life to advance to this point) this uniqueness of us here is a possibility, yes....
But that wouldn't tell us about...the other possibilities, such as a more advanced consciousness, aka "God". For that, I'd go to the great teacher, the Christ, to learn more, of course.
Goodnight
Well, yes. Individual cells don't 'know' much. Not sure why your bring in bots.
Huh? I don't understand what you are trying to say here. The 'self' is part of the universe. It is a brain process. I'm don't know what 'personality' you are talking baout here that is unaware of the 'self' (and how do 'self' and 'personality' differ?)
OK, I disagree. Energy is a very specific thing, physically. The 'self' is more like a running computer program on the substrate of the brain. Not the same type of things at all.

Do you think the Universe is deluded and beset with ego-related problems ?
Only dualistic thinking would assume otherwise.

No. How is you are not part of the Universe? Is your mind separate from reality or part of it?
