Where does consciousness reside?

I'm not too sure but I think consciousness resides in our spirit or in our soul

Humans have been battling this problem for centuries. If not millenia. Chalmers is best known for formulating the hard problem of consciousness and for popularizing the philosophical zombie thought experiment.

Why is it that we humans can experience what it is like to be something? In fact the idea that we can think at all and experience life seems strange. That something unconscious can become conscious. It use to be call the "Life Force". An essense that living things posessed.

I think science relegated the observer and subject out of the equation as to what makes reality. But we keep getting in the way. Whatever the theory of everything may be it has to include our consciousness.

It seems strange that of all things that may be real the only thing we really do know is our conscious awareness of what is around us. Yet this is seen as something unreal and a byproduct when it comes to material sciences. Almost like its back the front.

For people who would like some stimulating thinking on the subject, try The Mind's I by Douglas Hoffstader. It's an anthology of provocative literature on consciousness.

TELL ME WHERE IS FANCY BRED
Tell me where is fancy bred,
Or in the heart or in the head?
How begot, how nourished?
Reply, reply.
It is engender'd in the eyes,
With gazing fed; and fancy dies
In the cradle where it lies.
Let us all ring fancy's knell;
I'll begin it,—Ding, dong, bell.
Wm. Shakespear
