There are three big questions of life that science has not answered for. These questions deal with the origin and nature of life, the Universe, and consciousness. For this topic I will focus on consciousness.


An alternative approach which I have tested myself is to use meditation to understand consciousness. In the meditative state, I am able to reach a state of awareness without mental and bodily input. This is consciousness in its true and pure form.

The skeptics will say that mediation is not a scientific tool.
