What is consciousness?

no, it's located in the feet.

Matt, it's a sort of illusion perpetrated by our dualistic tendencies. Because nothing is entirely anything while everything is partly something else, it's pretty obvious that there's consciousness everywhere. A sufficiently complex machine for instance would probably claim consciousness

I think consciousness can only be described as .. the “I am”.The “I am” has an awareness of not just the outward but the inward also.
