The hard problem

There are two orthogonal, equally valid and equally unverifiable axioms about the foundation of reality that existed for a long time in our society. One is from the west, which is the scientific worldview. It claims that the world is made of matter. This matter came out of nothing, from matter came the life form, the simple organisms first and then the complex one. The complex organisms later developed a central nerves-system, from this emerged the mind and the consciousness. This consciousness, that ultimately emerged from the mater, enables the organism to perceive the material world back. The other theory is from the east, which is the spiritual world view. It claims that the consciousness is the fundamental aspect of reality from which the mind, thought and the objective world emerges. The former aims to unlock the mystery of reality by dissecting the matter. The later does so by introspecting the consciousness.

Every moment of perception is an act of creation through the subconscious process of our neurological network, that evolved over millions of years of trial and error. Let us examine in scientifi...
