So far, you can only understand consciousness through Leibniz
If anyone wants to understand consciousness, there is IMHO only one way,
that being through Plato-Leibniz, because only Plato has the universe's singular
Perceiver, and perception must be from a singular point.  So from the top
point, topdown, with nothing behind it, The One (Mind).

Continuing, Leibniz has what seems at first to be an overly complicated explanation of perception
and consciousness, but I go along with him because Leibniz's universe is inside of Plato's,
where all causation, including perception and consciousness,  is topdown from the top (Mind
with a capital M).  So our own minds  (small m) are puppets of Mind (the One, capital M).
Thus Mind (the One, the singular point that is monarch of the universe) controls all
cybernetically.

Thus when we "see" something in our minds (small m), it is actually a report of what
Mind sees, the universe of other monads with their individual perceptions,
but from our own perspectives.  The report is given to us as an ordered  sequence, a series of
updates to our perceptions, of the universe of monads,  since we ourselves, necessarily
being individuals, cannot see (monads are windowless) be directly influenced by our environment. And time is not
a variable in plato's tmeless, spaceless Mind.  Each update is like a separate frame of a movie
but like a movie we experience our perceptions as if continuous and from our own eyes.

Moreover, because of plato's topdown, cybernetic causation by thought, our minds play our
brains like a violin, not the reverse. Dennett and others who view causation as bottom up
from the brain to mind, have got it backwards. Our minds play  our brains like
a violin.

Accordingly, when (as caused by Mind) our brains, in perception send sensory nerve signals
from our senses, Mind (the only operator) converts these physical sensory signals
into mental experiences by perceving them and transmitting them back to our individual
minds in the above movie-like process.

These are called perceptions. But perceptions are only made conscious by our individual
minds indirectly reflecting on them, that is to say, by thinking them–intending them.
Leibniz called this action apperception. Apperception is awareness or consciousness.
Consciousness is thus experiences which are thought on.

Beware of trying to understand Leibniz from the Stanford site on Leibniz, which
refuses to include Mind (capital M) in its explanations of Leibniz..

AWESOME!  Thank you for giving me the perspective I have been asking  to "show up!".  Now I get to work at creating a better HUMAN LIFE experience for All of us!

Amazing how, if you disregard the information packed Word of the Creator – the Bible – how you end up being completely BLIND to the spirit world that lives right beside us as our shadow… and then how easily you can be fooled into believing utter nonsense like the 'info' in this video… sad.

Jesus also said, "look at the BEAM in your own eye, BEFORE, attempting to point out the mote (splinter) in the eyes of others. In other words, look at YOUR own subconscious programming and the behaviors that results, before pointing out the perceived faults of others.
