Q: "How does something as immaterial as consciousness arise from something as unconsciousness as matter?" (David Chalmers)

According to the old paradigm, the fundamental aspects of the universe (space, time, matter) are insentient; where maybe most brain processes could be explained eventually but experience itself and awareness of experience cannot be explained.

The new paradigm puts consciousness as an underlying fundamental aspect of awareness and the capacity for experience.

A: "Consciousness is a fundamental quality of the cosmos." (Peter Russell)
