Matter can create life, consciousness, pleasure, the experience of meanings, and the experience of beauty; therefore, matter is, sacred and valuable, yet magical and mysterious.
Consciousness is the product of matter plus evolution. The experience of meanings inside the bubble is also such a product. Moreover, consciousness correlates with the form and composition of matter. A new composition creates new consciousness. For instance, using drugs and alcohol changes the composition of the brain by introducing new chemicals to the existing compositions. The new composition creates altered consciousness.
Consciousness may be one potential among many potentials of matter. We are a composition of atoms, but this does not mean that we are just that. We have found some equations to describe the state of affairs in W1, We do not even know what really matter and energy are. Our effort is aimed at prediction and utilization of this understanding toward our our preferences.
We know atoms in our body come from far away galaxies where they were made billions of years ago, but we are much more than what makes up our bodies. In fact, the whole is different that the parts. We are the matter looking at itself. Maybe still confused, but we have taken our first steps in the path of self-discovery.
