Speaking to Consciousness

Where does consciousness come from? It almost seems to pop into physical existence for each individual at the point of conception. Do things really exist outside of our perception of their existence? Interactions are able to be observed even if we only see the start and end points of the interaction, and not its actual occurrence. Would this mean there is an objective reality outside of consciousness in which things occur whether we exist or not? Or is the “objective reality” sustained as a result of a collective connection, which utilizes each conscious perspective as a node within a network? So even if one node is removed, the objective reality is still maintained by the other nodes. If all the nodes are removed, does the objective reality cease to be? Perhaps there are other types of consciousness serving as nodes to also sustain the objective reality. Would this reflect itself in the observable, historical record that humans have been able to discern via empirical/theoretical evidence in the various fields of science and inquiry? Then what is consciousness? Is it possible that everything is consciousness, even the objective reality? That all things, even the elements informing the physical qualities of the universe, are conscious on some level, thus serving as a node? If everything is consciousness, is an individual able to communicate and have a dialogue with all components of the physical universe? If so, it may be possible to reassemble the components of the universe as a reflection of this interaction of consciousness. So then what is energy? Is it mutually exclusive, wholly interchangeable, or some measure inbetween with consciousness? If all components are an aspect of consciousness, I would suspect that energy is too. So if consciousness is energy, and energy is consciousness, then consciousness is no longer bound by space-time. And if consciousness is no longer bound by space-time, then it is neither bound by the physical form. And if the physical form is also made of energy, being formed by the components making up the physical universe, then it can also be directed and shaped through consciousness communication. The degree of such direction and shaping would only be limited by the interference distorting or circumventing the channel of communication and dialogue. By clearing up those obstructions, in the processing of communication between forms of consciousness, it would seem imaginable for alterations in the formation of both the physical body and physical reality to be more directly translatable and observable in positive correlation.
