Consciousness isn't inside you. You are inside it.
What if the universe isn't made of separate particles floating in empty space, but one medium, and particles are just where that medium concentrates? Gravity would come from the gradients those concentrations create. But here's the thing, if particles are concentrations of the medium, then so are we. And what we call consciousness might just be the medium becoming aware of itself through us. The brain isn't generating that awareness, it's receiving it, like a computer isn't the user, it's just the interface. That means consciousness isn't something matter produces. It was there first. And a medium that creates particles, produces gravity, and grounds consciousness isn't inside space and time, space and time come from it. Something that exists before space, time, and matter, and in which everything else exists, that's what theology has always called God. Not a being in the universe, but what the universe exists in. And if everything is made of this medium, then God isn't just everywhere, everything is literally inside him. He isn't within us because he chose to visit, he's within us because we are concentrations of what he is. And because he exists outside time, time being something he produces, the past and the future aren't hidden from him. He sees all of it the way we see a road we're standing above, not travelling through.
