Consciousness; a radically new theory. Diaphonous? (Introduction)

I understand your point. But we are not 'effectively blind'. 
Except for the moments when we can't see. Luckily for us things don't change that quickly and our brain can cobble together a reasonable replica of reality,-I don't think we can say it is seamless, just that from the inside we can't detect the seams.

> Well, do you think conscious thought contains energy?-First and foremost I think consciousness is an illusion ... thought awareness whatever. The dimensions mass . length / time^2 ... make up energy. I personally don't have a reasonable analogy to express it, at least not in those terms. -

really?-my personal experience tells me otherwise. 
 
> If you are using the universal consciousness concept as a substitute for God, as I do, then you are talking about energy measurements at the basic level of reality, quantum physics, the uncertainty principals and all the other weirdness of quantum activity. I view god as permanently hidden behind that wall and not measurable.-If it is not measurable (observable/detectable) then it may as well not exist.
