Is consciousness a " Spirit?"

But is there a physical organ that we call " The consciousness organ?" Which would make consciousness physical. Yet, there is nothing inside our heads besides flesh and bones, and consciousness seems to me, to be much more than that; its more like " A Spirit that is in humans." Its just inside the body as a whole , and we just focus on the brain.

Even science has grappled with this. And its worth examination.

The assumption that what we are is somehow located in a real material place like the head is false.
It is just an assumption because we are so focused on the visual.
It would be interesting to hear how someone blinded from birth experiences that.

But both ultimately doesn't matter because "what we are" (not as an entity, not as an "I" but rather the only thing that there is) is already everything that appears.
Not everything that appears "in front of us" through perception but including any perception any thought etc.
Just everything and nothing.

As an image: Like there is absolutely no "up and down - left and right" in space there is no localization of consciousness (or "reality" "god" etc.)
Because it would appear in something else which also would be what appears
It is absolutely incomprehensible but still is all there is.
