No one "gave" you consciousness. You ARE consciousness. Consciousness/you (same thing) doesn't come FROM anywhere; if it's immaterial, eternal, infinite and formless, how could it come from anywhere? The very concept of "anywhere" arises within it/you. It's you - you are the very backdrop against which all of your experiences take place during what you think of as your "waking life."

What makes you believe God has a gender? Does that not necessarily limit God?

If God is infinite - and it is - and can manifest itself as a infinity of forms, then it stands to reason it will also manifest as the form you call "you" - this apparently real person asking this question

I saw the following response on this video: And then I saw the following response in the comments: Why it’s wrong Consciousness ≠ everything Consciousness requires information processing, usually by neurons. Rocks, water, air, planets don’t process information in a way remotely comparable to brains. Claiming “consciousness = universe” is unfalsifiable: nothing can prove or disprove it. “Consciousness is the brain AND everything else” Contradiction: if it’s literally everything, why don’t inanimate objects exhibit decisions, awareness, or experience? Reality check: planets don’t make choices; your chair doesn’t experience sitting. Logical test If thoughts create reality, then every sneeze, earthquake, or traffic jam is someone’s subconscious controlling matter. Absurd How would you respond to this?
