What we call consciousness is our ability to perceive stimuli and to file it within the parameters of our personal story.

What we call consciousness is our ability to perceive stimul

Summary

This quote highlights that consciousness refers to our capacity to not only perceive things happening around us but also to interpret this input based on our subjective experiences and beliefs. It suggests that our consciousness is heavily influenced by our personal narratives, as we tend to process information in alignment with our individual stories and understanding of the world. In essence, consciousness entails the combination of sensory perception and the cognitive act of organizing and making meaning out of those perceptions within the context of our own personal backgrounds.
