Maybe It's Both
a: brain and nervous system ~
b: an antenna for consciousness
What:
"Animals have similar pathways and current running through them, yet their self-awareness is limited. I keep coming back to Sheldrak's theory of how the human brain and nervous system is like an antenna for consciousness, not the generator. So perhaps that explains why animals aren't like us, because their antennas can't receive the same frequency of consciousness we do."
