Consciousness is the substrate of existence, the key to the theory of everything

Each person experiences the world according to his position and point of observation within Consciousness, the infinite field. As Consciousness is subjectively experienced, disagreement about what is real, significant, and true manifests as heated conversations, breakdowns of communication, tribalism, social conflict, scientific cloisters, civil unrest, or even war. However, because Consciousness exists before all phenomena and experience, it is THE unifying field that circumscribes all perceptual versions of reality, transcends truth vs. falsehood, and stands as the key to the theory of everything.
