    Awareness of self or consciousness is a combination of our simultaneous perception of our internal biological process and our outer environment. These perceptions transmodulate together to form what we perceive as consciousness which I propose is indeed an illusion or effect of the brain. This effect, or sensation, is generally what people see as the soul, spirit, mind or consciousness. This ‘awareness’ is inert but subject to an ‘observer effect’ that elevates perceived brain process to what we commonly believe to be an integral part of our existence; a separate ethereal entity, consciousness, or ‘Matrix’ of the mind.
