- NayamAmarshe 2y agoAll of this is very much dependent on the types of senses. The Sāṁkhya metaphysics system gives a breakdown of everything that exists on top of the conscious entity: 1. Intellect 2. Ego 3. Mind 5. Sensory capacities 6. Action capacities Humor would be a part of the Mind and Sensory capacities which reflects back the changes in Action capacities. So 'consciousness' is actually none of these things. It's the irreducible entity, or in simple terms energy or force that animates what would otherwise be dead matter.
