The orchestra metaphor of consciousness

In 'is Consciousness an illusion', Julian Baggini compares consciousness metaphorically with an orchestra. 

Quote: When you listen to an orchestra you have a sense of there being a single piece of music. You hear it as one thing. But we know that's only because there are all sorts of different instruments doing their bits there isn't a single thing there. The orchestra is a collection. In a way brain and consciousness is like an orchestra of the mind. They are all these different systems working together. They create a sense of oneness because of the way they harmonize.

        

Comment
The comparison of consciousness with an orchestra is a good start in realizing that consciousness is not something physical or something you can place or measure in space-time. 

Quote

"Consciousness is there where no one can go, but everybody is"
