The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind

Can you lose consciousness from coughing too hard? (5 answers)

I was standing in the kitchen today eating a sausage biscuit. My husband and sister-in-law were there. Suddenly, I started choking on a piece of biscuit and I was coughing really hard. Then I fainted, but I was conscious again in less than 15 seconds. My husband said I never really stopped coughing except for those few seconds when I fell (I just fell back against the door I was standing by and then lowered to the floor, so I wasn't hurt other that a small bruise on my back). So my question is, what caused the loss of consciousness? Was it the biscuit or the coughing to remove it?

Are we growing in cosmic consciousness? (2 answers)

There are words offered and words taken. Today's words are "You must achieve cosmic consciousness." Listeners, listen. We are like larvae who become cosmic butterflies, flitting through the cosmos as if it were our own playground. By understanding why the First Men failed and the rise of the Third Men and all the events that come between, we make the cosmos our playground. By witnessing the rise of Patagonia and the decline of Patagonia, we make the cosmos our playground. By putting our bound consciousness aside and taking in the Great Spirit Mind that is the Supreme Architect of Cosmic History, we make this our playground. We are not strangers to any aeon and we are not alien to any form of life. So says Moloch.

How uniquely personal is consciousness? (5 answers)

Is "your" consciousness just yours, the unique product of your particular sense organs and brain, or is there a universal pool of consciousness that we all tap into and interpret as being our own? Is it possible to actually experience the consciousness of another, or are we always just looking at constructs of our own personal consciousness? Don't feel obliged to stick with the script here; if you have somewhere else to go with this, feel free.
