The Consciousness Paradox is an intimate conclusion with thought-provoking implications. It basically states that if the premise that consciousness can and indeed does, "restart", is assumed, that the consciousness one is experiencing now is almost surely not the original one. The reasoning for this conclusion is simple; since one apparently wouldn't have memory of one's past consciousness and one agrees that consciousness can be "restarted", the consciousness one is living now could hardly be assumed to be the first one even though all of one's instincts might incline one to think otherwise.
Preliminary reasoning Consciousness seems to be realized and unsupported by birth and death, respectively, also that it seems to be consistent with the restraints of a physical body.
With these statements in mind, it's easy to comprehend the intangibility and the relatively high self-referential nature of the concept. This seems to be, at least in part, because it demonstrates the potential manipulative property of consciousness. This has been done by showing how it potentially has been being realized, unsupported, and the physical restraints for something so intimate, mentally mass less, and universal for all intelligent life forms.
