Our greatest feature that distinguishes us from other animals is the level of intelligence. Our awareness level is higher than other living things.
What are the concepts of consciousness and awareness for you? How do you explain these concepts?
Consciousness and awareness just means that you are alive and you still have your senses. Just like all the animals that live here with us. Were all the same when it comes to those two concepts.
Simply that we are infinite consciousness (a spirit) in a body, having an experience.
They have absolutely nothing to do with a spirit.
