a theory about consciousness

Does anyone else notice the 'auto-pilot' within?
We are creatures of habit! As they say.
Its like some part of our consciousness is constantly involved in shuffling novelty away into an auto-pilot mode. Our actions, thoughts, our ourness. The unique you would be you in auto-pilot -- because an auto-pilot basically means: not requiring not much thought over-time ... its really more like a reaction. Whats more you than your auto-pilot?
Nothing, except yourself of course but that just means your more than your auto-pilot. it is built around imprinted memories you achieved from birth onward through now. Its the way you talk, stand, interact, everything. If you could change the what we would call 'variables' in programming, then you could, in theory, change some degrees of behavior related to the auto-pilot.
But in that first exposure to novelty, that everything is new, I think we are all the same, consciousness-wise there would be no difference at that moment simply because that moment exists in all of us before we filter it through to our auto-pilot, the judge and be-all in you.. Right at that moment, you and I are one, consciousness-wise. And you and I are very universal (terms at-least (;) so this applies to everybody.
From there you can see the auto-pilot and maybe work on what drives it, maybe change it for the better if you wish or see the need too.

I like your interpretation called "auto-pilot" what you speak of is ego itself. When you say:
Quote:

You are describing consciousness drifting back into personhood, aka ego.
I like to speak of consciousness as what it truly is and what it means, and that is awareness. Consciousness and awareness(and God) are the all same thing. You are aware of your body, and aware of your mind, thus you are neither body or mind. You are awareness. Awareness cannot see itself because it is the seeing itself, in the same way a knife can cut anything in the world, except itself, because it is one.
"God is not playing with you, God is playing as you."
"What you're looking for, is where you're looking from."
I mean, all you can do is laugh about this whole thing.

Would you care to expand through what auto-pilot is to yourself. I am too curious!

yes, while I don't like the term auto-pilot mode, it is exactly what is happening most of the time: learned reflexes (including reflex thought reactions, reflex conversational responses, reflex hand movements, and reflex body motion) but also we have interests, and concerns which are more vague and deeply layered, resonances, and these can steer us towards new ways of being.
to achieve new things, we have to find what we lack, and learn it, by exploring and repeating. repetition enables the creation of new habits or reflexes.
to those that have explored meditation, the term "practice" is often used as a synonym for meditation, but it is more than just a metaphor, it is the essential motif for change

This reminds me of the time I was tripping on LSD and started trying to have a discussion with my friend about this very thing.. minus the knife analogy.
I broke down laughing for quite a while..

You sound like Trump, "wrong". The fight or flight response isn't my idea it's a biological response.

and the listening and touching and thinking etc = perceiving or even one more level of abstraction perceiving perceiving
hence 'it' is context not content
and anything we say about 'it' is content, and not context, and hence , as they always say:
"Don't to mistake the finger pointing at the moon, for the moon."

Different possessions happen with a time, mind as complex unity of different consciousness types, also surounding environment matters - masses will take you. Sometimes drugs do you. I see a capture of a mind - cigarette wakes up and smokes itself as your tobacco turn.

Also don't forget long term effects from universe being motion (e-motion) and capable of returning your old consciousness as different states of planet Earth. Planets, galaxies - alteration of forces. Shape your ideal consciousness with your mind as it is, then submit to far away space for approvement. Only problem is - some far away forces consider a human being itself somehow more complex - like experience of collective unconsciosness with opened eyes, like you are the only One on your planet, therefore strange things happen very often.
