Atheists will just have to wait to discover this truth. I used to like arguing with them and panpsychism is the tool that I would use to deconstruct their worldview. Nearly every single one of them believes that consciousness magically created itself when the first brains were formed. That is the utter madness they believe. At one point in the journey of the universe, there were no brains that existed. However, it just kept constructing itself in such a way that ALLOWED life to happen. The Universal Consciousness doesn't have any goals or aspirations. It's "merely" providing all possibilities, at all times and in all places simultaneously. It doesn't push or pull the universe in any direction or towards any favor. The Universal Consciousness doesn't concern itself with anything because it is the source of all things. It is beyond existence.
How silly this will be once this is understood from a mechanical point of view
Panpsychism is bunk. Just another attempt by materialists to explain consciousness, without giving up their obsession with this elusive, yet to be found stuff called matter. Nothing is conscious but consciousness. There is only consciousness. Physicality is a concept within and of consciousness. Time and space an illusion of thought and perception. The illusory self an observer of perceptions and a thinker of thoughts.

Consciousness Explained (summary)
Important:
The text was written in Spanish and translated with the Google translator. I mention it for the reader's consideration.
While this is a summary, it should be enough to clarify what Consciousness is. There are many interesting subjects, related to the topic, that are not included. I have no problem answering any questions you may have.
The material body is situated in a material environment, and carries out actions. The senses capture information from the material medium. This information activates memories in the brain, groups of neurons that store information about the individual's life history. Through this process, the information from the medium, which is captured by the senses, acquires Meaning. From this same process the Expectations of Action (Pavlov) arise.
As described, the brain manages information from the Present, the Past and an eventual future. It is reasonable to assume that the brain makes a distinction between the information it manages from the Past, Present and Future.
In the brain there are no tables, skies or trees. In the brain there is information that represents tables, skies and trees.
It is reasonable to assume that the brain administers a Mental Correlation of the Relevant Environment of the Individual, which represents what is happening, in the Present, in its relevant environment. The mental correlate of the relevant environment can be called The Reality of the Individual.
Emotions and feelings accompany every life experience, and are represented in the life experience that the brain stores. Emotions and feelings give meaning to what is perceived.
Various factors determine the time that neurons remain activated.
If by turning my head to the right I stop seeing what is happening to my left, that does not mean that what I stopped perceiving a moment ago is no longer part of the mental correlate of my relevant environment. The brain has the ability to project, in time, the state of said segment of the environment; is what Pavlov observed. If in the previous example, before turning my head to the right, I observed that my dog, some hundred meters away, was running towards me, my brain will project such an event in time. Although, as the seconds pass, such a projection will become more and more diffuse, less certain, less representative of what is happening in the material world, that does not mean that my dog will no longer be represented in a certain segment of the mental correlate of my relevant medium. It is evident that this "Actualization of the Present" is due to the brain's ability to project future states of the environment. At the same time it is clear that, in the Actualization of the Present, which arises as a consequence of the Projection of the Future, a certain degree of uncertainty is implicit. By the way, the Projection of the Future is related to expectations.
The conditions of an ever-changing environment result in the expectations that the brain previously diagrammed to face what is coming are met only to a variable degree. The Projection of the Future is constantly being updated by the brain.
In the life experience that my dog has been storing in his brain, there are "latent", as non-active memories, the biographies of countless Entities with which my dog has interacted throughout his life. His life experience, in which said entities have participated, through his daily life of him, has characterized these entities, generating in his brain a kind of utilitarian biography of each one of them.
The vast experience of my dog's life, in which I have participated, allows him to carry out, when I get home and he perceives me, a fairly accurate reading of my state of mind, which determines his actions. Indeed, when I get home, a glance is enough for him to see that I am grumpy. Then he ducks his ears and lays on the floor, his gaze fixed on me. If I'm in good spirits when I open the door, he pounces on me as soon as he sees me. His brain, according to what he perceives, activates convenient memories, which allude to information with meaning contained in the biography that he possesses of me, generating expectations of action.
We can affirm, metaphorically, that an entity "dwells" in a dog's brain that represents, as a unit, both the dog's body and the dog's interests. We will call this entity, which is represented in the brain, that is, it "dwells" in the dog's brain. By the way, using similar criteria we can affirm that a “monkey entity” lives in the human brain, or that “the monkey that inhabits us” is present in the brain.
In the Amboseli National Park in southern Kenya, the East African green monkey (Chlorocebus sabaeus) inhabits groups of 10 to 30 individuals. They emit loud cries of alarm if they spot a predator, shriek specific sounds if they go out to meet other groups, growl threateningly when fighting with individuals in their own group, and growl quietly during relaxed social relations.
According to the type of predator, it is the sound call they emit, distinguishing three in particular: leopard, eagles and snakes. The alarm that warns of the flight of the eagle, induces them to look up or to run towards the bushes; hearing the snake alarm, they stand up on their hind legs and watch the grass; leopard alarm causes monkeys to climb trees.
The moment a green monkey hears the alert by eagle, the activation of memories related to the aerial environment is reinforced, drawing with greater clarity the diffuse aerial scene that was previously being represented in its mental correlate of the relevant environment, a scene that a moment ago he played a rather secondary role in the selection of the actions he was carrying out. The evocation of an eagle activates multiple memories that represent probable scenarios for the aerial environment, in a diffuse representation of said segment of the medium, where its brain places a flying predator. The predator, who is not being directly perceived, can either be ten meters from his head, heading directly towards him, or be within a couple of hundred meters. Faced with this uncertainty, the monkey's action is oriented to raise its head in order, using its senses, to have a more accurate representation of what is happening in its relevant environment.
The contribution to their survival expectations that the green monkey obtains thanks to the alert signal heard is evident, and in this sense the use of language is highly useful. This, despite the aforementioned uncertainty, an uncertainty that can be diminished through the action of raising the head and seeing the predator. For its part, the monkey that gave the warning voice has a more limited and accurate representation, in its mental correlate, of the predator, regarding its speed and apparent distance, its direction of flight, etc. For the monkey that emits the warning signal, fleeing and finding protection is notoriously better delineated, as expectations of action, than fleeing and protecting itself is in that of its congeners at the moment they hear the warning voice. Just a fraction of a second separates a very diffuse representation of the relevant aerial environment, from that which is achieved immediately after raising the head and seeing the predator.

Are u free? Mr Brand? I get these looks from my girlfriend, are u drunk again – because i look at your videos. Im so tired of that look, actually. Because i think youre in to something. Take care – Dag. Love u Man.
I have a different theory. Consciousness is the present spacetime defined by the information flow. Metaphorically, it is the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil/Everything. At birth, and in the first years of a human life, consciouness is primal, you could say "default settings". The body grows, so does consciouness. Human begins to understand the world he resides in by the words fed to his naturally inquisitive brain. Like a sponge it absorbs all the truth and all the untruth.
Dualistic people don't think that consciousness is materialistic. They belive in a duality between consciousness and the material world.
Think of conciousness as a CD player, and the brain as the CD and the music is the real world.
For the CD player (consciousness) to play the music (experience the real world) it needs a CD (the brain) to know what's playing (to know what the real world is like)
Consciousness is not seperate from the brain, but the brain is a "tool" used by consciousness to experience the world.
russell, you're not likely to read this comment, but for your followers, read plato.
Tom Campbell, My Big TOE?
never say never
Russell, 'physical' theoies of consciouness are progressing faster than you might think… Have a read of this and then search for videos or papers from Roger Penrose (our new physics Nobel Laureate) and Stuart Hameroff on Orch OR – You may also find section 4.1 ADVANCED WAVES AND CONSCIOUSNESS relevant to "panpyschism", although it rather points to all living biological systems displaying syntropy (time reversed entropy): https://www.wm.edu/as/physics/documents/seniorstheses/class2015theses/Collins_Amanda.pdf
My Personal Conclusions about who we are all from many sources "We Are All One Consciousness" for the following reasons:
1. In this world everything must have a cause, so that something exists because of something else, as well as ourselves.
2. It will be very saturating / boring if we have only one physical form in this world.
3. It will be very saturating / boring if all human beings have the exact same physical form behavior.
4. Try to imagine emptying all the physical things around us only the remnants of humanity, then eliminating all human beings leaving only their memories, then removing all their memories leaving only their consciousness, then connecting that consciousness, feel who we are ??.
5. Body, mind, feelings, emotions and everything in this world is always changing, so what never changes ??, that is our true self, which is true consciousness. If everything changes2 / moves who observes, there must be something fixed to be able to observe.
6. All human beings communicate with each other is the beginning of the beginning / the future of human beings unite, only electronic devices today can unite all human beings, one day the device is implanted in the human mind and eventually man will open all access to his mind.
7. Our body is a group / accumulation of memory accumulated brought from the beginning of the birth of the first human in the world through continuous DNA binding.
8. Twins are born at the same time, what if all human beings are born at the same time ??. What happens if the birth of all human beings is not influenced by the dimensions of space and time ??
9. The twins are identical to A and B, if the whole memory of A is copied to B, what is the difference ??
10. The law of attraction (law of attraction) that our minds will attract whatever we think, because we are all like one part of the body.
11. Like some of the video recordings of ourselves there is a video as a vocalist, a video as a violinist, as a pianist, as a drummer, etc. The video2 is made into one in one video then it will produce a more interesting orchestra, something new and more productive. our world.
12. Man's greatest enemy is himself, at this time man is fighting against himself. By believing that we are all one, then the ego will fade because there is no difference between us.
13. That is why the teachings of religion command us to be grateful and beneficial to many, If you are hurting others you are actually hurting yourself, just as if you are doing good to others you are actually doing good to yourself.
14. Could it be that we are all dreaming and our dreams meet each other at the same frequency in parallel. Have you ever, when sleeping dreamed of moving roles as someone else, it is because we are all one.
15. We are not immortal as human beings so that we have time for us to scroll through all of life.
16. "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience" ~ Stephen Covey, Have you ever felt that our age is too short, could our consciousness be immortal ?.
17. We are one, only the role is different, the memory block between life is what makes people feel different / separate. Just by brainwashing / erasing his memory then someone will be a different person but his consciousness actually remains the same. One consciousness experiences various perspectives of reality.
18. The lucky thing for us is … awareness is always towards / seeking / having intentions / desires towards good / positive / happiness despite experiencing various mistakes.
19. When we die the body and memory are destroyed, how can we remember ever being dead. Even a few years ago your real body was lost by being replaced by new cells you don't remember.
20. Why do we have to die? ", When we are told to die, later this eternal question will be asked again and we will always be there." The world is a sustainable life".
21. In the beginning we were one, but split through a big explosion or bigbang to become different and separate as it is now, but we are provided with a sense of love for us to be able to be reunited later.
22. There is only us and the mirror of ourselves in this world, yet there is another world out there.
23. We will always smile happily seeing each other as ourselves "How beautiful I am" seeing a different self.
24. If all consciousness is told now that they are all one if the experience gained is enough, the consciousness designed from the beginning is so different that there is so much intrigue, consciousness is created differently so that when it comes together it has an incredible consciousness experience.
25. We are indeed alone in this universe, but there are still many other universes with their own laws of nature.
26. Have you ever felt to come to a place that has never been visited but feel familiar with that place, as if we have lived in that place sometime.
27. The world is like a script of a story that is being written by the author, sometimes changed at the beginning, sometimes changed in the middle, sometimes changed at the end it all depends on us as writers, and every story has wisdom that can be taken as a lesson.
28. Hair grows on its own, heart beats on its own, blood flows on its own, ideas emerge on its own, etc., are we involved ??.
29. Imagine today there was an event that caused only you to live in this world, then who are all the people yesterday ??.
30. "If Quantum Mechanism cannot surprise you, then you do not yet understand Quantum Physics. Everything we have considered real all this time, turns out to be unreal." ~ Niels Bohr.
31. In the scale of quantum physics we are all connected to each other, even in double gap experiments proving that particles change when observed or in other words awareness is able to change reality, this has been repeatedly proven by Nobel laureate in Physics.
32. Everything we experience by our senses will eventually only be an electrical impulse in the brain, is it all real ??. We are beings who realize that we are conscious.
33. We are closer than the veins of his neck.
He breathes some of His spirit on you.
Knowing oneself means knowing one's God.
Indeed, we will return to HIM. You are far I am far, you are near I am near.
I am everywhere.
Before the existence of this world there was no material other than Him.
The True Spirit is only One, the Creator.
I agree with your prejudice.
34. Whether the Creator is only tasked with creating, is it possible that the creator does not want to try the results of his creation through another perspective.
35. There is no reincarnation, it is possible that our consciousness is synchronized and evenly distributed at the speed of light through energy, and that is why we need sleep, that is why we are often not aware of something, ourselves are like some chess pieces played by a player, that's why if we moving at the speed of light we can penetrate the dimensions of space and time, when we die then wake up and we will regain consciousness as humans.
36. Have we ever had a problem and suddenly someone came to provide a solution to the problem we are experiencing, as if someone was sent by the universe to help us in solving the problem, which is actually our own awareness that sends that person to us.
37. A thousand years ago did human beings see, hear and be trapped in their hearts about current technological advances ??. If we all tend to sin (damage) then it will be the world of hell, if we all tend to do good then it will be the world of heaven.
38. Knowledge learns objects, God who created our consciousness, it is impossible for God to be the object of knowledge.
39. It is not possible for human creation which is only in the form of words / symbols to represent true truth.
40. Is there a meaning of being without consciousness ?? then we are adventurers of this existence.
Sy
41. The life of the world is just a game and a joke, the one who wins the game of the world is the one who finds his true self.
42. When the existence of the world ends we will know everything.
43. My consciousness undergoes a very extraordinary life experience, feeling life experience with different forms and different places even though in fact my consciousness is always the same, wow .. I was surprised !! how wide I am.
44. Consciousness in fact does not know the concept of time, consciousness can experience / undergo into another physical form because the dimension of time can be penetrated by consciousness, as when we imagine we can act as anyone without time bound, because in this universe time can in fact materialize free, time can move straight, curved, rotate, etc. Our time travel is when our consciousness moves to a new physical experience.
45. We are an awareness, a concept that is able to answer various things.
46. Remember when you were going to leave, you were worried about losing me ??, calm down .. I was everywhere and we would always be able to meet again, believe me.
47. Without searching what is the difference between us in this world and us in a dream while sleeping just passing by without meaning.
48. In conclusion, whatever role we play, it is all our own design, so just enjoy.
49. I never said that self is God, I thought that self is one consciousness, God should be higher and perfect than consciousness.
50. God created us to be Happy, so do not disappoint God. Understand it and be Shining.

"trying to find consciousness in the brain is like trying to find music in the radio set"…love that quote.
I rest my case.
The total number of minds in the universe is one. In fact, Consciousness is a singularity phasing within all beings – Erwin Schrodinger
Grow hair, say random stuff, get rich and famous.
Believe in science all you want, I do too, but you've gotta acknowlegde the fact, that we have no clue what consciousness is, or how it works.
Were meat balls in a cold swirling pot of soup.
