The reaction of consciousness to matter means that consciousness can make one substance react with another and change its form.

For example, the changes in cities that we can see with the naked eye are the result of conscious reaction.

Consciousness reflects matter in two ways:

One is the correct consciousness, that is, the consciousness that correctly reflects the true colors and essence of objective things.

The second is the false consciousness, that is, the consciousness of distorting and reflecting the true colors and essence of objective things. Just like taking pictures with a camera, it is more realistic and sometimes distorted.

Celebrities' views on consciousness;

Marx said: "The activities of spiders are similar to those of weavers, and the ability of bees to build hives makes many architects in the world feel ashamed. However, the worst architect was better than the cleverest bee from the beginning, because he built a beehive with beeswax in his mind before he built it. The results obtained at the end of the labor process have already existed in the appearance of the workers at the beginning of this process, that is, they have already existed conceptually. "

Marx said: "The whole problem lies in the revolution of the existing world, and actually opposes and changes existing things."

Lenin once pointed out: "People's consciousness not only reflects the objective world, but also creates it."
