A New Theory of Consciousness: The Four Constituent parts of Consciousness
The inquiry about the breakdown of consciousness into its natural elements starts by categorizing consciousness into two major types of conscious activities that are different from each other such as: Cosmic Consciousness versus brain consciousness. The second breakdown of consciousness is to separate brain consciousness to differentiate human brain consciousness from animal brain consciousness. The third breakdown of consciousness identified Cosmic Consciousness as a specific type of consciousness for trees and plants. The fourth breakdown of consciousness is the familiar breakdown of human brain consciousness that Plato wrote as (The Tripartite Soul of Man) which subsequent philosophers Hume, Descartes, Kant, and Freud argued about, and tried to change or improve upon, which is known as the three faculties of mind. Detailed definition of these four different types of consciousnesses began when this research asked the question what is Consciousness? The findings of this research suggest that Consciousness consists of an initial Cosmic Consciousness that preceded brain consciousness, and gave rise to brain consciousness. That Cosmic Consciousness was the first original consciousness that emerged on earth and also gave rise to all living organisms such as; plants, animals, and human beings. That it was Cosmic Consciousness that give all living organisms a) sensitivity, b) sentience, and c) intelligence.
