is death, not just in the sense that death solves all problems, but also because conciousness seems (to me at leat) more magical when it is realised that it is for such a very short time, as a proportion of life lived.
The colours you see, for example, are not objectively there. The wavelengths are, but the subjective experience of colour (or anything else) is you.
For me, anyway, there is this tension between the heaven and hell of consciousness, for which I imagine for myself some kinda religious/revelatory type solution, or alternatively trust to the passage of time.
Where is everyone? I need to talk.
