Consciousness as Ultimate Reality

Consciousness is proposed by some thinkers as the fundamental essence of reality, suggesting that everything else derives from it. Deepak Chopra argues that consciousness, defined as awareness, is the ultimate reality while traditional scientific labels like electromagnetism represent mere perceptual experiences. This perspective challenges the materialistic view by stating that all so-called forces of nature are constructs within consciousness itself. Additionally, this view implies that sensory experiences, which feel tangible, might simply be illusions created by a cosmic consciousness.
