Hey /lit/, I've thinking about consciousness lately. Is epiphenomenalism true?

if ephifaggotism was true, your question is more like:
"by happenstance and for no real reason thinking was produced for a non-self about consciousness and then what follows is a sentence was written (by nothing) on a keyboard (perceived by nothing, for no reason), to nobodies. please respond to my question evon though neither you nor I exist nor can willingingly think"
it's like we're nobodies on a roller coaster
how can I get off the coaster, come into existence and then answer your qeustion?
ephicuntinalism is for faggot cunts

If your understanding of epiphenomenalism was true, your post is more like:
"By happenstance and for unknown or no reason, thinking about consciousness was produced in a mind that produces consciousness and then what follows is a sentence written (by a body) on a keyboard (perceived by at least one conscious entity, for no or unknown reasons), to other minds that are (possibly) also conscious. please respond to my question because we're conscious entities arising out of minds that are seeking social gratification on an American image board."

No, material circumstances arise because of consciousness, not the other way around. False consciousness is exhibited under the impression that I am a product of material nature. This is called false ego. One who is absorbed in the thought of bodily conceptions cannot understand his situation.
Any layman can understand that the material body minus consciousness is a dead body, and this consciousness cannot be revived in the body by any means of material administration. Therefore, consciousness is not due to any amount of material combination, but to the spirit soul.
Read the Bhagavad Gita if you want to learn the science of consciousness.
