What I propose is that consciousness had to exist from the beginning....Free-floating conciousness without energy doesn't seem possible to me. -Possibly, David, energy has always been, just as consciousness may have always been. But I'm not proposing consciousness is nothing or came from nothing. I am proposing the possibility that consciousness is something, e.g. knowing, but is not itself made out of or from energy.
