I feel like this is largely incorrect. You may not understand consciousness, but to calm that science hasn’t touched it whereas eastern religions have is wildly inaccurate. Both Western and Eastern philosophers have considered consciousness at great length. Science has excellent maps and models of the human brain and we have had passable functional theories of mind for several decades. Is it complete? No, but science is rarely complete. Is it the forefront of a lot of research? Absolutely.
Science still has not touched on any adequate way whatsoever the hard question of consciousness.
Neither have a lot of religions. The eastern, “secular” religions are the major that have at least made an attempt to tackle the problem.
Define “not touched”.
Consciousness is something you have to understand. We are still in the process of getting the pieces together.
Eh… sort of, maybe. I’m not quite sure what you mean by “understand.”
Putting the pieces together.
