Exploring Consciousness (I)

What we can know for certain

Human beings are conscious living entities. Consciousness is spread throughout the body. Where does our consciousness originate from? Is it a product of the brain, e.g. are our brain activities stimulating consciousness, or has it another source? What does the present stand of scientific data say about consciousness, self reflection and the brain?
