Maybe the very tiny part that actually thinks and feels. Overall, there isn't any empathy coming down from the clouds.
I don't distinguish it really, even though I admit, I kinda did.. but I think it's much bigger than that. Consciousness allows us to feel, interact etc, which is everything we could possibly know.. but does it all end at the "limits" of consciousness? We have to make a finite judgement to comprehend the infinite universe, at least from the egos point of view.
There is something necessary coming from the clouds, though. But it's impossible to tell if that is very important. And if you decide that none of this is really ostensibly important, then what are you left with but your dumb ego in a meaningless world? That's why I think everything is ostensibly important.
