Through direct observation of my consciousness I see dichotomy between to perspective. One is an inner, private consciousness. The other is outer one where my mental and physical states are openly available along with although things that can be observed.

In Advaita Vedanta, the ancient Indian philosophy, the inner self (Atman) is understood to be not separate from the universal reality (Brahman). Similarly, many Christian mystics, Sufi poets, and other contemplative traditions speak of an inner divine spark or soul that finds its fullest expression only when united with the transcendent, omnipresent or divine presence.

In many animist and shamanistic worldviews, all parts of nature—trees, rocks, rivers, and yes, even the air—are seen as alive or imbued with spirit. This means that spirit isn’t confined to a fixed, material container but is dynamic, pervasive, and sometimes described as free-floating or intermingling with the environment. For example, many indigenous traditions see the wind to carry the breath or essence of life, serving as a conduit between the physical and the spiritual suggesting an omnipresent, ephemeral quality rather than something tethered solely to specific objects or beings “of the air.”

Since the Renaissance—and especially during the Enlightenment—the way people explained natural phenomena shifted from invoking mystical or animistic "spirits" to describing processes in terms of matter and natural laws. In this context, what was once thought of as "spirit", rebranded as “consciousness” began to be reinterpreted in more secular, mechanistic, or even materialist terms.

It is intriguiging now that some contemporary theories, such as panpsychism or integrated information theory, suggest that consciousness might be a more fundamental feature of the universe, echoing older ideas of a pervasive spirit. Although these modern idioms seek empirical grounding and theoretical clarity it may be that our quest to understand consciousness might be tapping into a timeless aspect of human enquiry - one that has reappeared in different guises throughout history.

"Ideas are food. The idea of God is based on a conscious experience: the conscious experience of our own existence. When I become truly aware of my own existence, at that moment I know that I am being seen by something higher than myself. Do you remember when you first looked in wonder at the stars? For a moment, you were being seen by something greater than yourself.

It is not just I, me, who truly sees the starry sky; at that very same moment of wonder, I, me, am under a deep, silent look from above. That aspect of the moment is often forgotten. The idea of God is meant to call us back to that experience of being seen by what is higher."

If we were able to detect consciousness and understand the process we could use it to first make neuronal networks with the process applied and then in super computers with the computational mass similar to the computational mass of a human brain - enabling the mind transfer.

If the super computers had downloaded the memories of the person and used the neuronal process of consciousness (within itself) we would probably be able to talk with the person as we knew them before the transfer (as who we are is actually a bunch of memories connected by the conviction of one continued and steady self).

But the problem might be - it wouldn’t be us. We, the consciousness that reads it, would no longer exist. This consciousness would not experience the transfer. It would be replaced with a new one. Any other person wouldn’t see the difference (from their perspective there would be none) - we would behave exactly like we did before as we would have same memories and experiences just managed by another consciousness (that would interpret them exactly as the old one).

It’s like with teleportation. To teleport you need to be destroyed in one place and rebuild in another. You would be exactly the same just made of different particles. Should it still be you? In some context yes.
