Existence exists[that which is,is]-and the act of grasping that statement implies two corollary axioms:that something exists which one perceives and that one exists possessing consciousness,consciousness being the faculty of perceiving that which exists.
If nothing exists,there can be no consciousness:a
consciousness with nothing to be conscious of is a contradiction in terms.A consciousness conscious
of nothing but itself is a contradiction in terms:
before it could identify itself as consciousness,it
had to be conscious of something.If that which you
claim to perceive does not exist,what you possess is not consciousness
