I'm new here and I'm very pleased to find this particular forum. I may not be able to attend the spirituality chat today owing to previous commitments, but I would enjoy an opportunity to discuss this subject at a future chat.

For many years now I have been fascinated with the subject of human consciousness and its relationship to the soul, or spirit. Particularly what philosopher David Chalmers calls The Hard Problem of consciousness, which is why it should have evolved in human beings in the first place. There doesn't seem to be any particular reason why we have a particular experience, for example, of the blueness of the color blue. We would do just as well to learn that seeing something of that light wavelength was called "blue," and not experience any feeling of "blueness" about it.

This is very difficult to explain, and thus why I'd love to discuss it!

Namaste,
Elizabeth
