I do believe (believe, not know) that consciousness is something bigger than we know, I can even believe in panpsychism sometimes but I don't think any religion have any real clue about the nature of consciousness.
Hm, how does one not get into that conclusion? Most everyone would agree we have the concept of "selfness", yet I don't think there's a scientific theory to explain how a set of physiochemical processes can have that endresult to an observer, any more than a computer has the idea of "me".
It's not something we can pinpoint in any experiment, even not clear how to design one in theory. Yet we know by our very personal experience that it exists. Sounds pretty supernatural to me.
Considered at length, and ultimately rejected due to lack of evidence.
There's a lot of beauty in embracing not-knowing.
Ignorance is bliss.

I don’t necessarily disagree but how do you get to the conclusion?

I just don't think that unexplained == supernatural, so the conclusion does not seem obvious to me

Why then does it change if we take drugs?
What does “supernatural” in the context of your comment means to you?
Ah, a man (or women) after my own heart in HN.
Do you limit it to human‘s consciousness?
> consciousness
What else is there?
Many other species. (E.g. apes)
Man is just an animal.
