Module 5 Discussion Board Assignment:

This week's discussion is about our consciousness and its impact on our perception of reality. Remember to break your writing into parts with headings and address the following questions.

This week I would like you to combine what you learned in the lecture video I recorded on consciousness and the Ted Talk video I posted on how your brain hallucinates your conscious reality. 

Part 1:

Here are the questions I would like you to answer:

1. Per the videos, what key ways can consciousness be impacted or distorted?
2. Give an example of how your consciousness has been distorted in the recent past. What are some of the key reasons why this distortion occurred?
3. How can somebody avoid this type of conscious distortion in the future?
4. After learning about optimal consciousness from these lectures, what are some measures you will employ moving forward to maximize your consciousness? Where is the area for improvement, and how can you best optimize these lessons?

Part 2

Thoughtfully reply to two of your classmates' posts using the parameters listed at the beginning of this assignment.

• Add potentially different ways to optimize based on the material presented in this chapter.

Here is the Ted Talk video one more time for your review:
