Again this topic brings back the thoughts about relativity. This relativity is quite specific to definitions. The way we define things will effect our outlook and our actions. Say for example, define for me the word love. Do you consider kissing, a mutual relationship, marriage, dating, or hugging love? Different people will define love differently based on how they feel. Some might think that there is love between close friends while others will think there is love based on a marriage. While here in the discussion of consciousness, there lies the problem about studying consciousness. While this article talks about where the consciousness of a person exists physically, you need to define what consciousness. Some people believe that consciousness is a detached part of your body that doesn't need to live inside of you. It is similar to your soul, this is why out of body experiences exist. Other people believe that consciousness is actually in your brain and is the simple process of neurons firing, that's why when we suffer major physical injury we die.
