First requirement:
Memory.
Imprinting of any kind.
Second requirement:
Organization.
Determine priority, and class, between memory.
Third requirement:
Synthesis.
Take bits of the memory, and make new memories, which do not yet exist. Project those memories into the future, as prediction, or as plan.
Consciousness is mainly based upon the principal of memory.
Memory is mainly based upon “plastic” substance, or all things most imprintable.
“Spirits” are often made of these very “plastic” substances.
That is why a psychic of some sort – can form nearly any kind of energetic construct, because he or she is using the very same substance that one creates all kinds of thoughts with.
The vividness of a dream… That is an example… Of what a few deeper moments can synthesize. If allot of time is spent, things deeper, more complex, and richer than dreams can be formed.
It may be almost 100% true, if I am to partially [or improperly quote] what Nietche said about the soul. He said it was created by the body, and would die before the body, etc.
I’d say, most of the spiritual parts die a little while after the body dies. A little bit may remain… maybe.
The dimensionality of this substance [which consciousness makes into souls and thoughts] is difficult to fathom or explain.
The possable kinds or flavors of thoughts which one can create
Is far more diverse
Than all human art
And all human invention
Throughout all of time.
This substance can be made into anything.
Some would call it the Ethereal, Aetheric, or Akasa.
It should be deadly-obvious, by now,
That any substance can be transmuted into any other.
Gas can become liquid.
Liquid to solid.
Etc.
Given the right conditions,
Anything can become anything else.
The Akasa is unconditioned energy/substance/somethingness/potential.
This aether has not been made into anything else specifically, yet.
Some forms of energy are fed up into the mind and brain,
Whilst other substances are created in the mind, brain and higher dimensional parts, then fed back down into the body.
It’s not a one-way, solidified materialism.
The Akasa is the most capable of imprint, or memory,
Thus it is the most conscious, and most capable of consciousness.
The brain traps, synthesizes, or draws this in,
Just like it draws in old fragments of dead souls,
So that it may eat and revive them into fragments of personalities.
Unfathomably complex.
I don’t talk strait, about it.
