When you damage your brain, you damage your consciousness !

Post here if you are just starting out with your mindfulness practice. Mindfulness is a really difficult concept to get your head around at first, and it might be that you would benefit from some help from others.

This implies that consciousness is a product of the brain and dies when the brain dies.


Do you agree with this why or why not?

Heard Elon Musk saying this and it seems highly plausible

'This implies that consciousness is a product of the brain...'

We can speculate on this question but speculate is all we can do. The truth is that nobody, not even the world's greatest neuroscientists, has been able to conclusively show what consciousness is or where it originates. Not for nothing do scientists call it 'the hard problem'.
