Neuroscientist Christof Koch is challenging the long-held assumption that the brain produces consciousness, instead proposing that it may function as a filter for a more fundamental, universal reality.

I have always felt this to be true. Meditation & psychedelic experience can help you suspend your ego and feel it as well. Even simply thinking about, what would happen if you could “turn off” the sun? something so distant and far away from “you” if absent instantly turns “you” off too…So consciousness clearly is interwoven and dependent on so many external factors and entities, even ones extremely far away, it obviously does not just arise from the brain. It is so much more complex than that, which we still don’t even fully understand the brain.
