Consciousness the formation of the world.

It had no need of eyes, for there was nothing to be seen. No ears, for there was nothing outside to be heard. There was no surrounding air to be breathed, nor was it in need of any organ by which to supply it with food, or to get rid of it when digested. Nothing went out from, or came into it anywhere, for there was nothing. It was made like this, its own waste, providing its own food, acting and being acted upon entirely within, and by itself, because its designer considered that a being which was sufficient unto itself, would be far more excellent than one which depended upon anything.
