Bea Apodaca’s Reviews > The Feeling of What Happens: Body and Emotion in the Making of Consciousness > Status Update

What is consciousness? If you go too deep into it, you could possibly drive yourself insane, honestly. I understand that consciousness is described as the state of being aware and being able to think for yourself, but wouldn't that technically make consciousness the soul itself? Not a byproduct of the brain....but more of an enduring aspect of existence?
