At the physical level, or perhaps the quantum level, we are all consciousness. We, living and organic, are spirits with physical vessels.

What is matter on the other side? The spiritual side. Is the soul merely a condensed "gem" of consciousness, expounded on itself by memory, reincarnation and self-awareness? Similar to how matter in the physical realm is layer upon layer of energy fused into objects.

If you can grasp what I'm asking, I ask further, what of future robots that have been programmed with self-awareness? Certainly their material is from the same star-dust we're composed of. What makes us different but the soul?
