“Consciousness is what happens when an organism encounters an environment. If an eye is struck by light reflected off a colored shape, then visual consciousness occurs. But as soon as the object passes out of the field of vision or one shuts one´s eyes, that consciousness ceases. This is true of every kind of consciousness.”
Stephen Batchelor, Confession of a Buddhist Atheist
