Consciousness is proposed to consist of two major types: Cosmic Consciousness and brain consciousness. Cosmic Consciousness is described as the original form that emerged on earth, giving rise to all living organisms—plants, animals, and humans—and endowing them with sensitivity, sentience, and intelligence. Brain consciousness is further divided into human and animal consciousness. The argument suggests that plants and trees, lacking brains, possess Cosmic Consciousness, evidenced by their abilities to exhibit sensitivity, sentience, and intelligent behaviors such as survival and reproduction. The text critiques neuroscientists, physicists, and philosophers for overlooking Cosmic Consciousness in their definitions and inquiries.
This paper argues that plants have consciousness, proposing that consciousness is dual, consisting of "Cosmic Consciousness" and brain-derived consciousness. The author contends that plants use Cosmic Consciousness to survive, adapt, and reproduce, while humans use brain-derived consciousness for behavior. The paper presents cross-pollination as evidence of plants' intentional and conscious control over their fertilization, claiming this demonstrates plant consciousness beyond scientific doubt. The argument is theoretical and philosophical, drawing on the premise that all living organisms face common survival challenges that necessitate consciousness.
