FWIW, here's my word salad from last evening, nicely anticipating my viewing today of the aforementioned "Consciousness and the Mystery of Existence" video. At least for the moment I've come to regard consciousness as awareness of organically evolving experience of existence, where awareness is most fundamental.
Present identity is a fluidly shifting perspective upon experience.
Its present direction and ongoing momentum
are organically preserved and cognitively propagated.
That’s how we ‘materialize’,
as whatever may be known is even now emergent
within its own erstwhile absence.
It's a circular affair,
as the boundless possibilities of interpretive experience
are ever emergent within infinite potential.
Simply stated, experience is a collective integration
of boundless more or less plausibly evolving perspectives.
We regard our individual perspectives as consciousness,
hosted by universal awareness.
Perception tolerates whatever may arise,
regardless of its inherent plausibility,
including all manner of phantasmagoria.
For better or worse, any such perspective
may influence experience in countless ways.
Thus is each of us ever challenged to live effectively,
whatever that may demand of present experience.
