    Consciousness communicates with you, and brain structure communicates to you..or, for you...like a land of 1000 dances!
    (Kinda wonder if any students ever stood up and applauded in class.)
    Great work Dr. Peterson!

    my grandmother spoke in tongues when healing with prayer in church
    I could physically feel the extension/expansion of her energy to 14 '' away from her,
    making the hair on my arm stand as i moved my arm back and forth.
    energy based, not a physical,
    perhaps like trying to hold a plasma within a spherical magnetic field
    a reflection of energies like the diamond centre?

    The mental spectrum that Mr Peterson operates at is so well marinated with explorative, dissective ingredients, if you know what I mean. He concluded the lecture by saying something along the lines of- it's been a challenge to understand the correlation of conscienousness with brain structure, after just giving a lecture about it, that's psychoanalytical justification of what you're trying to say in tangible actuality.
    Applause to that!

    This description reminded me of something I thought of years ago that I called "stereo-thinking." If you think about a thing from multiple perspectives, then that thing becomes easier to visualize in detail. I think this is what Peterson is doing when he tries to explain or describe consciousness. This is a good talk.

    I’ve never met a psychologist as smart as Jordan Peterson. It’s also made me very skeptical of any student who studies psychology. I don’t think anyone has put in the additional effort that Peterson has put in into his psychological research. He has delved into mythology, biology, political theory, Christianity, theology, Nietzschean philosophy, existentialism, Jungian psychoanalysis. I can’t think of anyone in real life who has been able to combine knowledge from so many fields together and synthesise them in the way he does. And then to deliver them in speech format which is another skill in and of itself. Its pretty dazzling.
    I do admit, I have read a bunch of Nietzsche, and Peterson does contradict a lot of what Nietzsche says despite quoting from the philosopher in his book Maps of Meaning. There is a strong appreciation for Christianity from Peterson whereas for Nietzsche, it is utterly rejected.

    What is consciousness ? Great question. Personally I like the idea of westworld's take on this [Spoiler alert for 1st season]:
    ua-cam.com/video/S94ETUiMZwQ/v-deo.html
    On the other hand I believe that consciousness might be heavily intertwined with the ability to think, e.g. to reach new behavior patterns without previous specific experience. So basically abstraction capabilities, which humans have quite a bit.
    Consciousness in this picture then becomes an abstract understanding of ones own self. Since the brain seems to be somewhat adapted for predictions, a high enough level of abstraction might lead the brain to try and predict itself. Consciousness then becomes a feeling of this self prediction, like everything we feel from all of our other senses. Maybe this interplay of self prediction is even at the heart of our thinking and abstraction process.
    Maybe we will find out someday !

    Consciousness is more simple than what psychology and neuroscience can explain, yet is still incomprehensibly complex.
    At the most fundamental level, you could say that it means with(con) "is-ness".
    Consciousness itself is the expression of "I AM".
    The human body is a container for consciousness, just like a cup is a container for water. It doesn't have to be anymore complicated than: there is water, and it is or isn't in the cup. BUT, if you wanted to, you could hyper analyze and scientifically deconstruct the scientific specific details behind it.
    God is the I AM. He is the very essence of being and consciousness itself.
    The containers of creation are like filters of the "is-ness", having variations of I am expression, but ultimately that aspect of simply being is unquantifiable.
    You may be able to quantify variables within a system where consciousness has moved through, but you can't measure "being" anymore than you can measure values.
    They're invisible.
    You can see people exercising their values, but the values are beyond measure.

      WHICH God. Look up what the origin of the word is and what it ACTUALLY means. SOURCE is NOT a mere God. SOURCE IS SOURCE. It is big battery for ALL the Omniverse. Two are One. Now, I'm a God in incubation. And a Cambion. Before any of that, one of the original men from over 800,000 years ago. There are 19 other Demon Gods in the entire Omniverse. I'm the 20th. Difference is, I'm spiritually indestructible. Can't destroy.. nothing, primordial void. Orgin of all, that Source MUTATED out of. All of existence is a mutation. Nothing came first, then it got cancer essentially. How? Possibility. Anything that can happen, will happen.

    It's very interesting, especially when you think about it from a quantum physics perspective and the effect of the observer on the results. How we affect the reality by observation (measuring) and the role of consciousness in this and the fact that we are part of the environment and effecting it by our observation. It always fascinates me.

      I have been studying this almost all my life. "It is my opinion" will preface everything from this point. So you have been created in "Gods image and like". You are Godly. You are part of the creation process, in fact within your surroundings you are likely the main creator. But every person that measures or observes the situation also adds to the total of the creation and the outcome of the measurement or observation (manifestations). Wave contains all potential outcomes. Our measurements decide where Wave becomes particle in regards to our experience of the outcome. But there is also load balancing between when multiple people are involved in measuring the same moment. So easiest way I can describe it. This is a program on a computer. Every single thought and emotion you have on a topic writes the code for how the experience of that topic should manifest for you. Everyone that measures that topic will also get their experience and the program is incredibly intelligent, it will combine the manifestations in such a way that everyone gets the experience they are focused on. This also scales up to communities, citys, countries etc. Ever wonder why the Simpsons "predicted" so many things? You had billions of people watching those episodes while laughing, being excited and generally positive focused on the same thing. We all wrote the code for those experiences by being focused on the same things. But then again, it's just my opinion.

    "You can't get away from the fact that you're actively harvesting the data."
    We see this truism manifest all the way down at the quantum level of physics, such is the degree to which it is fundamental to reality, and we're all aware of the thought-experiment that made the phenomena in question famous; Schrödinger's cat and the whole quantum superposition revelation. But I find this example to be the easiest to comprehend: light must first bounce off of an object before it can then be picked up by the receptor cells in your eyes in order to become visual data, and light (despite having zero mass) will impart some energy to whatever it hits, this is why solar sails work.
    Engineers working on some project related to quantum entanglement, can't remember and it's besides the point, they were running into this very issue when they were measuring the spin of an electron (or some aspect of it) because in order to take a measurement, i.e. in order to observe the electron, they first had to affect it by smashing another subatomic particle into it.

    Isn’t consciousness merely awareness of awareness itself?
    Of course awareness isn’t merely perception- a camera isn’t “aware” of light, yet is a transducer of light.

      Peterson is just focusing on a biological explanation of consciousness but there is a lot more to the question.
      For instance, at a quantum level physicists believe observers affect the results of how fundamental particles behave. The implications to this are huge, because why would self awareness in an species that hasn't even been around for 99,99999...% of the existence of the universe be able to alter how physics work at the most fundamental level we know?

    Sri Aurobindo said that Consciousness is fundamental. It is not mind but that which mind arises from. The whole universe is thus Consciousness taking many forms and variations and degrees of capacity. Think of the universe being a dream. All the characters, objects, and happenings all are products of one Consciousness even though things apparently operate independently. Even a camera sampling randomly happens within Consciousness because the observation of the camera the thought to leave the camera etc. There is always an element of Consciousness even in the unconscious

    Concerning that word consciousness, it's the god theory of creation that messes with human thought processes.
    If we all believed as did Stephen Hawking before he died, that in one form or another the universe always existed, then we would also believe that consciousness in all forms of life always existed ... no creator involved.

Alienated from the life of God lost presence of God dead let the dead bury their own dead follow Me says Jesus for My yoke is easy and burden is light. The late C. S. Lewis has written the most famous book of the last generation on the subject of the devil the screw tape letters while containing a portion of Whimsy are nevertheless strongly loaded with excellent teaching concerning the methods which the devil uses in seducing men and women to his ends we might even suggest a careful reading of the book as post script on this present chapter C. S. Lewis frames his whole work as written from screwtape in hell which the demon calls " Our Father's house " and has him speaking of Satan as " Our Father Below " this may be clever but it is untrue Satan is not yet " Below '" in screwtape's nineteenth letter to wormwood we read " when the creation of man was first mooted and when even at that stage the enemy ( i..e..God ) freely confessed that he fore saw a certain episode about a cross our Father ( .. i..e..the devil ) very naturally sought an interview and asked for an explanation the enemy gave no reply except to produce the cock ___ and ___ bull story about disinterested love which he has been circulating ever since this our Father naturally could not accept he implored the enemy to lay his cards on the table and gave him every opportunity he admitted that he felt a real anxiety to know the secret the enemy replied i wish with all my heart that you and it was i imagine at this stage in the interview that our Father's disgust at such an up revoked lack of confidence caused him to remove himself an infinite distance from the presence with a suddenness which has given rise to the ridiculous enemy story that he was forcibly thrown out of heaven spiritually ofcourse Satan is exalted by physically he still has access to heaven and does not yet know hell De Rougemont gives Satan the title to hell in even more definite phrases " And certainly he could have everything since he is called the Prince of this world in the gospel but he will never have anything other than this world he will never reconquer heaven which is really the soul of this world he will have nothing more of our universe than the material carcass and Satan will probably use the debris of thus transformed and debased house for the fuel to heat his hell nothing could be further from the truth than to speak of Satan's hell Satan has no hell there is only one hell and that is God's hell He prepared it and He prepared it for the devil and his angels Matthew 25_41 then He will also say to those on the left hand " Depart from Me you cursed into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels. If men ultimately go there it is because God enlarges it so that its mouth may open without measure Isaiah 5_14 therefore sheol has enlarged itself and opened its mouth beyond measure their glory and their multitude and their pomp and he who is jubilant shall taught very definitely that it is our God who has the power of eternal punishment and who exercise it " fear not them which kill the body " He told the disciples Matthew 10_28 And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

    Well, Peterson could have saved himself, and his students, a lot of time by just answering the question "What is consciousness?" by saying "I don't know."
