Consciousness - is it real?

Consciousness has always been real, as an evolved phenomena. Science measures/scans it as a product of the brain. But is it just taking place as a physical product, or are we already dancing freely further into the stars as our angels come to greet us? Consciousness guides me, when maybe I'm expected to be purely rational. I believe there are answers to existence in consciousness that guide us to a better purpose regarding respecting others, but we are setback by materialism's devil may care attacks on our freedom, which coldly ignores the plight that leaves us in. It could be a cutoff point of discriminating. If we don't answer the spiritual issue of how it all fits together, politics will divide and conquer.

"Consciousness guides me" means I think of feelings and injustice. I was always loving about it, but whether I try to teach people or not, it compels me to this whole higher purpose, like an earth spirit! Everything oppresses animals, and I think we need to return more to how the world used to be. So I question normal thinking.

If consciousness is real, yes, it's rational to the extent it successfully conveys real awareness. But I think God meant more for it to be fun; most of us would rather be content than exact.
