Lately there has been a quickly growing change in the world. Not a technological change, not a spiritual change, not even a political change...there is a change happening the mind of all of us. This change is subtle and not very noticable at first...we simply seem to be asking or avoiding the simple questions much more than we used to.
"Why am I here?""Why is this happening?""Who am I?"Movies like "What the Bleep do We know?" and "The Secret" are a good example of how the world is re-evaluating the assumptions we had previously taken for granted. Musicians, Artists, Writers...every form of expression is being shifted and directed towards one simple concept...the "self".
Underneath all of our "ideas", "thoughts", and "questions" there is a fundamental knowledge that you exist. You can say "I am" before you can say "I am something". Even belief in a "God" is becoming unimportant compared to this simple yet profoundly important idea...you are aware of yourself.
What is this "thing" that can think or be anything at all? Where does it come from?
Modern science has shown that the brain is not the origin of your consciousness....in fact it is quite the reverse, your consciousness runs the brain. So where is this consciousness coming from? Isn't it interesting that it exists separate from the body?Reality is full of little clues...conversations, coincedence, synchronicity. There is something profoundly important that we have been overlooking about the reality we are experiencing...it is NOT separate from us. This realization is changing the world very quickly...search the internet, talk to your friends...it's everywhere. You "self" is trying to get your attention.
I am trying to get your attention.

Sorry but you make a lot of assumptions but do not offer any proof. Exactly which scientific body claims that consciousness exists outside the brain? I am fairly well read on the idea but this is news to me.
People have been asking "why are we here" etc for thousands of years. The Greeks were consumed but it. All of the major civilizations had philosophers who devoted writings to it. I would actually argue there is less interest today considering the current writings on the subject.
Polls such as the Harris poll on religion in the US do not indicate any shift in beliefs systems, rather the opposite. The percentage of believers and non-believers is almost identical to 50 years ago.
I don't see the basis for this, perhaps you can provide some more concrete examples.

The proof is in the mind. I'm not going to try and provide you with "stats" or "polls" in support of this because that would (1) defeat the point of looking inward and (2) offer statistics that mean nothing because they are based on small parts of a participating population while completely disregarding the fact that anyone truly looking inward doesn't follow a religion and more likely than not doesn't participate in polls that identify them as a "person" or "name".
As for describing where consciousness comes from, I would recommend looking into the base binary messages being received by the brain from the "zero-point field".
This "awakening" is not obvious to those who do not look inward...in fact it is completely hidden behind "stats" and "reasons to believe".
As for larger percentages of people being believers...that's not true at all. In fact you're right...there is a growing amount of non-believers (people who believe in something other than the self...like "god" for example". But the small number of people who DO believe in the self are delving farther into what that means...insights and ideas are expanding in a way that classical philosophy did not. Truly, those who venture into the mind are finding out what infinite and endless mean on a whole new level. None of these base concepts are "new"....but they are being perceived in whole new ways.
