Is it on youtube? I got some thoughts, but I think I'd have more to add if I saw the documentary first.

Senses interpret physical stimuli for consciousness, but consciousness itself is not physical.

consciousness
I would guess that yes it is physical. Aren't dreams physical? being conscious is something that your mind is physically doing tho... |

So if I slice my brain in half.
Put one half into one skeleton, and another half in another skeleton. who am I? If consciousness is physical then that means i'm technically 2 people at the same time. Consciousness cannot be physical.

from the beginning to the end, your relationship with 'the whole' has been 1:N and while that fact remains... so does the question, are you conscious of it?

Consciousness is not physical, it ceases to exist when you are dead, it is more. I want to say it is your soul but I dont know how to properly convey my thoughts so ill just leave it at that. Hard question to answer properly.

What i'm saying is that if consciousness was physical we would be conscious of both bodies ergo it cannot be physical. consciousness is something everyone has only for themselves and nobody else but.. what is it?

its a direct manifestation of your brain connected to your body like the control unit of the organism thats ur body thats why if you rip out half ur brain, u can still be conscious... because "you" is the living, breathing bunch of body parts youre attached to

MAYBE ITS CUZ YA TO RETARDED TO GET WHERE IM GOING WITH THIS.
Consciousness isn't just a sense of being awake. It's a sense of self awareness okay look If consciousness was physical that would imply that we are nothing but neurons encoded into our brains. SO well if thats true if IF hypothetically speaking I was to have one half of brain in one body and another half in another body. Who would I be? You can switch a brain but you cannot switch awareness so awareness cannot be part of our brain.
