Yet it is a beautiful philosophical and spiritual topic to discuss during a <a href=\"https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/en\/truffle-ceremony-2\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/truffel-ceremonie\/\">truffle ceremony<\/a> or psychedelic session. During the psychedelic state, the rational mind, the ego, or consciousness, is deactivated, causing one&#039;s own interpretation of oneself (ego) to disappear, leaving only the experience. The subconscious processes that drive consciousness are thus brought more to light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/bewustzijn.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11833\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/bewustzijn.jpg 640w, https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/bewustzijn-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"het-bewustzijn-is-een-mysterie\">Consciousness is a mystery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several theories about consciousness and how perhaps our consciousness gives us the convenient illusion of survival by thinking we are different from the rest of the universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"het-ontstaan-van-bewustzijn\">The origin of consciousness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The following video explains how consciousness might have emerged gradually through evolution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"The Origin of Consciousness \u2013 How Unaware Things Became Aware\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/H6u0VBqNBQ8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"diverse-theorieen-over-het-bewustzijn\">Various theories about consciousness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The following video shows what others think about consciousness.
