The article discusses existential consciousness as an innate experience beginning with cellular life. It highlights how this consciousness is intertwined with our physical existence, driven by cellular cognition, which processes environmental interactions. The author argues that an evolutionary perspective has led to a worldview that separates humans from nature and their own embodied existence. This reductionist perspective, described as a 'blind-spot habit,' distorts our understanding of reality and neglects the integral relationship between life, experience, and consciousness.
Subjective experience unfolds as the integrative process that relates the world within our body to the world outside our body.
Our existential experience is embodied in our cellular world. Existential consciousness is therefore always present within the context of the cellular environment.
