First there are stars; out of the stars comes photons of light (in our spectral colors); and pre-atomic dust. The dust is like the photons which carry it out of the stars and into the darkness of space, moving at very high rates of speed. They are spinning at centrifugal rates of spin, and though they have a friction induced static charge, are spinning too fast to attract into collections of pre-atom particles and form into atoms of our elements. However, as the friction slows them down, they can then go from their centrifugal rate to spin; to rates of centripetal spin; and then their static charge begins to assemble the pre-atomic dust into atoms and then molecules of matter. The assembly of pre-atomic dust into atoms; is the beginning of consciousness. Because consciousness needs a container composed of an assembly of particles of matter in radiant motion. Every action having an opposite yet equal reaction, the radiant expression of matter is by the act of radiating; creating; attracting to itself; from their surroundings; that which is assembling its image into a form of material reality. Consciousness thereby is creating itself; and being conscious of itself; being created into existence. Consciousness is by definition an existence which is both a physical presence; and a thing which is aware of itself and its existence. Anything which is a thing, is made up of elemental matter. Consciousness therefore has and knows it has a container ; within which it exists.

The breath of consciousness is the swelling and contraction of the breath of the atoms composing matter, as their spinning parts express that pulse or breath of existence, in their equilibrate spin motions of gravitation; through which motion of gravitation or centripetal attraction, consciousness creates, images into material forms.

The reason no one understands consciousness is the same reason no one has to find the cause and source or workings in origin of the motion of gravitation. If you really have an understanding of either one of those two, either gravitation, or consciousness you have all you need to fully understand the other. Both subjects however are written about; but not defined as a working model must be. Both subjects are just endless sources of speculation and pointless these days, since Newton and Einstein gave up on gravitation, and Planck just shoveled crap onto it to cover up the failure. Gravitation is ignored and there can never be a working model of everything, there can only be endless numbers in exchange for money and ego bloating. Quantum mechanics cannot explain gravitation. Without the truth about the cause and source of the motion of gravitation; there can never likewise be an understanding of what consciousness is or its cause and source.

But just like the physics gang; they prefer a paycheck to the truth; and its consequences. So the mental sciences gang also have their paychecks and egos, which they prefer to the truth and the obscurity of failure.
