I don’t think consciousness implies knowledge either. Something can be conscious, without realizing that it’s using it’s “knowledge” for any benefit.
I would suffice to say that everything is conscious, I would think that all those little atoms that make up your body and everything else would have to be conscious to create such intricate structures.
The question I want to ask Soliloquy is this. If death=unconsciousness, then what happens when the entire universe dissolves? Are you left with no consciousness? No knowing? I think it’s pretty obvious that the universe is constantly expanding, and is inevitably moving to the point where no form will be able to hold together. So what is conscious of this so called “matter”?
