Recently read a theory like this, that consciousness is more of a universal field that our individual bodies “pick up on” with our brains acting as the sensing object, similar to how our ears might hear a noise in the distance but that doesn’t mean our ears are the object that generated that noise.
I don’t think it’s true tbh, but it’s an interesting thought experiment in the goal of understanding consciousness.
