If consciousness is the fundamental reality, then why does it exist? how the fuck does it work?
>>
this isnt really paranormal but unsure,
probably has somethin to do with quantum mechanics or theory that just winds up sounding philosophical again, but it just simply exists, and it's working as how you intend it

nobody knows

>why does it exist? how the fuck does it work?
For something to be truly fundamental is for those questions to be unanswerable, so the question contains a contradiction and there can be no satisfactory answer to it. Mu.

What's the 'it' in these sentences? Consciousness, or fundamental reality? Your implied distinction falls apart even under your simple sentence structure. Fucking pathetic. It exists, there doesn't need to be a 'why', but knowing thyself seems to be an important lesson, so maybe learn to take your head out of your ass you fucking troglodyte.

Dude, that's just the limitation of language, you got the conveyed information, stop purposely getting stuck on meaningless symbols to get a rise out of me. you know what the prompt is.

It doesn't need a reason to exist.
>>
>If consciousness is the fundamental reality,
It's not. Consciousness encompasses what we can experience of fundamental reality with our senses.

Consciousness IS God. Once you internalize this I guarantee your life will change

>how the fuck does it work?

How does God work? I don't know, go ask him lel

If you can describe how something works through internal components, then it isn't fundamental now is it? Anyways, it's true by default. Truth can only be discerned through the lens of logic, logic and reason is a product of consciousness. If material or something else was the fundamental layer, then logic is incidentally dependent upon it and thus not binding by virtue of not being by necessity. However, if material and the like is bound by logic and reason, then it is logic and reason which exists prior to material's manifestation, and therefore consciousness is fundamental.

>"Okay, so I believe all is incidental and logic doesn't matter"
Great, except you only ever have reason to believe in something due to logic so if you deny logic then you lack a reason to believe in that very thesis of disbelief. Since only one possibility gives reason to believe in it through upholding the structures of reason itself, you must default to consciousness being fundamental. The alternative is to abandon being human and begin thinking and behaving like a monkey. Now stop being a monkey.

The best evidence for determinism and causality is the fact that we can't physically change the past. If you were a non-linear being separate from body and time, you would be able to go back in time and say, warn yourself before you stubbed your toe. You can't do that, you can't see the future either. If that toe stubbing led to an infection that made you lose your entire leg, slowly travelled up your torso and led to lifelong crippling agony comparable to hell, sucks to suck, shouldn't have chosen to stub it. SKILL ISSUE!!! On that note, consciousness originates in the brain, and is the product of genetics. You are AI, programmed with a genetic prompt encoded from your mom, dad, and the cosmic rays shooting through them when they conceived; and so am I.
Take the wrong drug, take a few too many blows to the head, contract botulism or other brain parasite, you're not OP anymore. If someone took a piece of your brain out like cake, you would cease to be who you are now, and your experience of this reality would change dramatically. You were at one point in your life, the purest essence of yourself, and that pure you with the help of your environment snowballed into who you are today.
Why? No reason AT ALL. There is no end goal. We are building a monolith to life because we are alive because we wanted to be alive because those who were ok with dying aren't here.

The idea that consciousness is the fundamental reality is most closely associated with Idealism. Major thinkers to study are Kant, Fichte, Schelling, Hegel, then maybe Schopenhauer and Peirce. Continue with the phenomenologists if you want to see Idealism through a new lens, starting with Husserl and his students, of which one (St. Edith Stein) is a canonized Catholic saint.
You may also loop back around to the Greeks at any point since there is a lot of very interesting synergy between the Greeks and 'modern' thinkers. Heidegger took this route.

It works by resisting demons. It breaks by becoming infested with demons.
