"...consciousness--does the body create it or does consciousness create the dream of body, the dream of somebody?" - Eckhart Tolle
This is the chicken or the egg conundrum of metaphysics, very ticklish. Science and personal experience point to that chunk of meat between our ears as the creative source. Advaita Vedanta would have it that all is consciousness, including the meat and everything it tunes into, or, in the vernacular, that Brahman (Existence-Knowledge-Bliss) alone is real and the world illusory.
