I am very confused about existence and consciousness.   Many of the quantum physics "abstracts"  I read claim we don't have any....existence and/or consciousness that is. We exist in a simulation lab? Ok, where does music come from then?

 

Actually no consciousness is nihilism, kind of the extreme opposite of objective existence. Here's koan #29 from Wumen Guan:

 

Quote

The wind was flapping the temple flag and two monks started an argument. One said the flag moved, the other said the wind moved. They argued back and forth but could not reach a conclusion. The Sixth Patriarch said, “It is not the wind that moves, it is not the flag that moves, it is your honorable minds that move.” The monks were awe-struck.

 

Hope that helps
