Okay, I think I get what you're saying now. If consciousness was purely an individual phenomenon, it would still need to be heritable for it to evolve (I don't think you are speaking of individuals evolving during the course of their lifetimes). However, you seem to be saying that consciousness is not just an individual phenomenon, and that the individual consciousness we experience is really just our brains tapping into a larger, unified force, and it is this force that evolves independently from the human species.
Still, though, wouldn't the brain need to coevolve into something capable of comprehending this evolving force? Or do you think our brains are ahead of the game in that regard? In other words, are we already capable of utilizing the full capabilities of this force that we tap into, as well as capabilities it may evolve in the near future?
