We have a physical perspective which is somewhat constrained by our material attributes, i.e. we can only see so far, we can only hear sounds from so far away, we can only smell smells within a certain range. But what about consciousness, where are it's limits? When I contemplate consciousness it feels like I am existing within consciousness, it doesn't eminate from my mind/body in any sense at all. So from an experiential point of view consciousness appears limitless in space, and equally from an intellectual point of view it makes no sense to say my consciousness ends at any particular point in space.

Now if this is so then what of the consciousness of others. If mine is limitless then so is theirs. It is absurd to entertain the possibility that my consciousness is mottled, and the gaps are filled by the consciousness of others. And not only does it offend the intellect it also offend my experience, as this is not how it feels to be conscious. So my consciousness is limitless in space and completely fills that space (or is space contained within consciousness?) and so does that of others - but surely the only way this is possible is if we share the same consciousness. Is there only one consciousness and physical perspective is simply a manafestation of it? Is consciousness in fact limited and my experience is simply erroneous? Am I getting wrapped up in words when the only possible 'solution' to the problem of consciousness is not to be found in words and rational explanations but simply to be conscious? Does it make sense to limit consciousness in words when experience suggests otherwise?

Any thoughts welcome . . .
