Also, if I may add and as other have stated, some do not see consciousness as the most complex layer of the human being. Some even consider it as an off-product of our highest functions.

À very interesting questions. I've long felt there was two possible answers to this. You can see a more complex layer at the level of the relationship we have with other beings or even objects (Me + My Favorite Song would be a being of n+1 level of complexity). I call it the Deleuze/Spinoza hypothesis.

Then, you could see it as a kind of personal truth you're embodying, not as a creator but just as an operator, a tool. Although "personal" wouldn't be the right word. You would embody, express, a fraction of a deep truth which is specific to each being.

Or maybe something else I'm unable to imagine.

Isn't that a specially engineered breed of cats, made to have those small "cute little legs". If so, that's horrible and shaming.

Sometimes I remember my parents have a 18 years age gap, and I can't quite wrap my head around this.

Note that since I'm not a native English speaker and didn't read Spinoza in this language, the translation might well be very bad. I wouldn't know.

Thanks for sharing! Out of curiosity, could you tell a bit more about this book, Joy in the morning?
