I don't see how you have explained how consciousness and the material interact. You've basically made consciousness into EM energy and our brains into antennas. How is that useful for explaining consciousness as the primary substance? Dualism never seems to work. Monism is the way to go.Consciousness is universal, and our material brains, through the pineal gland, act as a kind of antenna to facilitate the universal consciousness. Our differences being determined by matter. Our commonality being determined by a shared universal consciousness. — Noah Te Stroete
