"Hence consciousness is not epiphenomenal and is primal."

josep... unfortunately, the logic you employ to come to this conclusion is fraught with embedded assumptions and equivocations. It would take an houur or two to dissect your paragraph and list all the problems, and I don't have the time, and you would no doubt just reject them..(we humans are ABLE to deny or accept such 'proofs'...it's part OF being human)

It is true that a conscious being cannot objectively access all the causes and processes which comprise 'its' awareness and motivation (as I mentioned in my post about the "edietic reduction"), but neither does awareness itself logically imply that "..consciousness is not epiphenomenal and is primal".
