Earlier quoted context omitted.

The idea that the brain functions as a sort of radio capturing a consciousness field makes the most sense to me and also feel comforting in some way

However, “makes sense to me” and “feels comforting” has no bearing on whether it's true.

Great observation. Good thing I never claimed for it to be true. Just thought it was interesting that others have had the same idea(s) as me

Cool, and terrifying. This makes me consider that there is some sort of consciousness in the non-lingual side of split-brain patients.

Which also makes me consider: Is there some sort of consciousness in my own brain I'm not aware of? Sure, my brain does a lot I'm not conscious of—but is there a quiet, thinking awareness that exists in my skull, that I, the mind writing this, do not know of?
