I wonder...Can we actively alter our level of consciousness to make it healthier, for example, through practices like meditation? If so, how does this process work?

Maybe this could be an impopular opinion, but if we think through the time our neuronal evolution has to pass, million of years, is amazing how we can bring our opinion nowadays. That's the magnificent casuality of the universe. And I think the impresive capacity of us, a piece of meat with neurons could do this, can survive all those years, is not impossible other species or other extra planet civilization can do the same, or better than us.
