How does consciousness develop?

How or why does consciousness develop? It develops because an organic body needs ways of protecting itself from danger. Self-preservation lies at the root of consciousness. Consciousness is the being aware of one’s thoughts and actions for the purpose of survival.
If one were to ask what the purpose of life is, then one could say that life’s actions are designed to give the expressions of life the best possible chance of survival. Life itself has no other purpose than to be. Life is. Life exists.
The experience of life is at its fullest in the moment. In the conscious moment. This results in the deep appreciation of the wonders of life. A leaf. A bird. A tree. Blades of grass. Clouds in the sky. And also the perception of it all through the senses and mind.
When there is a clear perception of it all, there is love for all. There is the knowing that all this is the divine play of life that manifests itself in this moment in fullness.

The human mind (and other minds) experiences it through the conduits of the senses.
