In my definition of consciousness, consciousness is the same thing as life. What wisdom traditions also call spirit.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Life is a state of consciousness.
And for me anyway, consciousness is three components: a personal component which for lack of a better word we can call the soul. A collective component which is more archetypal and a deeper level, and then a universal domain of consciousness.
Spiritual consciousness is, on the whole, very adventurous and all about pursuing our deepest, most fulfilling dreams.
Life is a series of sensations connected to different states of consciousness.
Consciousness, rather than being something that we have, is something we participate in.
Where you are in consciousness has everything to do with what you see in experience.
What is consciousness? Our brain simulates reality. So, our everyday experiences are a form of dreaming, which is to say, they are mental models, simulations, not the things they appear to be.
Consciousness, for me, is a manifestation of complexity in biology. It's an emergent property.
For me, consciousness is non-local, not limited to the body, and can exist independent of it.
Consciousness is a phase of mental life which arises in connection with the formation of new habits. When habit is formed, consciousness only interferes to spoil our performance.
