Based on this analysis, we find ourselves inside this vast world that is in this vast galaxy, that is in this vast universe, where we naturally assume what we see is what is, and is what is real, and is what is truly reality. However, none of it, absolutely no single describing detail is possible to physically exist beyond this internal universe created by this organic computer. The internal projection works so well we live it as real as anything could possibly be.

You should look up the word 'Scotoma' in the Wikipedia as used in the film 'The Da Vinci Code'. Which says much the same thing that we see what we expect to see. Also Temple Grandin quotes Dr Allan Snyder in her book 'Animals in Translation' when talking about the autistic as saying the same thing again, on page 300 and 303 'If Dr Snyder is right it's normal people who are living inside their heads. That's because a normal person's nervous system gets rid of a lot of detail and then fills the blanks with whatever he expects to see'

Another thing about consciousness that I've noticed is that when I start to wake up it's like I'm in a Hertz car advert and are coming forward to slide into the drivers seat. Also when I'm really tired but on my feet, it's like my consciousness is centred in my chest.
