Consciousness Quote by Camillo Loken
““We assume that our consciousness lies inside our body, but what if our body actually lies inside our consciousness? What if the body is actually the vessel we use for moving around inside ourselves because we are space, we are the universe, we are all that is, we are consciousness—and this consciousness utilizes a physical body in order to obtain experience? Are we anything more than a unique living being that exists along with many other life forms on this planet, our Mother Earth?””
