Abstract
Consciousness has been one of the most challenging topics in neuroscience, physics, and philosophy. The dominant view in cognitive science and neuroscience suggests that consciousness is a product of brain activity. However, evidence from near-death experiences (NDEs), quantum physics, and information theory indicates that consciousness may be independent of the brain and intrinsically linked to energy. This paper proposes a theory where consciousness possesses energy but is not energy itself and undergoes continuous transformation rather than linear growth. Using findings from neuroscience and quantum physics, we argue that the brain serves as a processor of consciousness rather than its generator. This study provides a theoretical framework that enables further interdisciplinary exploration of consciousness.
