Consciousness Explained: Its True Nature Finally Revealed

Consciousness Explained is a groundbreaking new theory that presents an entirely new understanding of consciousness. Based solidly in modern physical, cognitive, and information science and in carefully analyzed direct experience, it provides a convincing explanation of what consciousness really is. Concise, accessible, and to the point it clearly explains consciousness in the context of reality itself. Our consciousness in a present moment through which time flows is the fundamental experience of our existence. But exactly what consciousness is and how it can arise from a physical universe has long been an unsolved mystery that has baffled generation after generation of philosophers and scientists. Though many have tried science itself has ultimately had nothing meaningful to say about either the nature of consciousness or the present moment in which it occurs. The fundamental problem of consciousness is that it's obviously not physical in the traditional sense we ascribe to the universe, and in this contradiction is the key to explaining its true nature. But when we step back and carefully reconsider the fundamental nature of reality we quickly discover that it simply can't be physical in the ordinary sense. In fact all the evidence suggests that it's actually a computational structure and that its apparent physical nature is an adaptive interpretation of its true information nature produced by our mind's internal simulation of reality. Thus to solve the mystery of consciousness we must first demonstrate how and why the universe seems physical even though it's actually computational. And then we must discover a new model of the fundamental nature of reality that is naturally compatible with the observed nature of consciousness and from which consciousness naturally emerges. This book does just that. It offers a convincing science compatible explanation of consciousness with the added benefit of shedding light on the true nature of reality as well. And finally it explains how the true fundamental nature of reality is actually being experienced as consciousness in every moment of our lives and how we can realize this more deeply and completely. All and all this is a book impossible to ignore which is sure to have a lasting impact on the study of both consciousness and reality for years to come.
