I invite all those interested in a novel approach to the so called
'Hard Problem of Consciousness' and how it is related to the structure
of physical reality and the nature of the observer in modern science
to take a look at my paper http://EdgarLOwen.com/hardproblem.pdf . All
serious comments would be welcome either directly to my email or in
response to this post.

Well I'd like to ask you some questions, firstly, you seem to be
suggesting that all that exists is the physical, is that the case?

Hi, no I wouldn't put it that way, more that physical reality and
consciousness are aspects of the same fundamental reality. But you
really need to take a look at the paper to understand my thesis.

You say "This same 'experience' mechanism is common to every entity in
the universe,we just happen to 'experience' it in our own terms." Of
course!

The "hard problem" is why we experience it the way we do. As Chalmers
asks, why does the experiencing not "go on in the dark"? Why does it
feel like it does?

I understand your answer to be something to the effect that that's
just the way we're made. I think for Chalmers and others that's not
enough of an answer.

Very interesting paper.
You state on page 16 "Every 'experience' is equally and absolutely
real in that it participates in the absolute reality of the present
moment".

How do you reconcile "Existence is 'experience'." with
Photons[ ]may not 'experience' the world (Note 4)?
Surely photons are real and exist in the "present moment [which] is
the only place in which anything actually exists and has
reality" (bottom page 3)?
