Human Consciousness

“What we are aware of, we are conscious of.”

This statement is a definition of ‘consciousness’ and it is a statement of what we are aware of. There are other forms of consciousnesses such as sub-conscious, unconscious and recently termed super-conscious. All of these forms of consciousnesses describe our state of awareness. 

On the page titled ‘Mineral Kingdom’ I talked about the ‘Level of Consciousness’ of the 4 different Kingdoms. The Human Kingdom’s Level of Consciousness is rated at 90% aware of this Physical World and 10% aware of the Spirit World. It is this 90-10 split in our consciousness that this post is about, and why the 10% is so important and can drastically change our physical life.

This physical world is the realm of duality and opposites. In order for this realm to exist everything must be separate in order for its expression to exist. When our AWARENESS is singularly focused here in the physical we feel and sense this separation. This separation leads us to feel vulnerable, lonely, and inadequate to everything else. These are the foundations to our FEARS. We strive to find LOVE, comradeship and belonging in order to relieve our FEARS. When we do not find these, we SUFFER. Many of us will look towards RELIGION to find some form of belonging. Even the RELIGIONS see this physical life and our spiritual life (after-life) as separate existences. We are alone and vulnerable and we look to our culture and religion to give us something to belong to and for a level of safety. Often in our desire to belong we deny our distinctiveness. We see this denial with the common denouncing of our EGO and desire to be popular and to ‘fit-in’. The old-science reinforced our sense of separation and our exposure to the dangers of LIFE – disease, accidents, violence and even our genetics makes our Life beyond our control.  We often see LIFE as dangerous and that we are a victim of LIFE – “Why me?!” is often heard when faced with some challenge. 

We define our physical world with our 5 physical senses – sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste. These 5 senses are how we define REALITY and if we cannot measure something with these senses we often deny their existence.

The Spirit world is the realm of ONENESS. In the Spirit world there is no separation as everything is part of the ONENESS. This concept of ONENESS is foreign for our physical rational mind to conceive. 

Our rational mind is faced with a strong contradiction. When we materialize into this Physical realm we are coming from a realm of ONENESS to this realm of SEPARATION and it is foreign to us, however, now that we are here the realm of ONENESS is foreign. We are never happy with where we are, when we are in the Spirit realm we want to go to the Physical realm and when we are in the Physical realm we want to go to the Spirit realm. We have not learned how to unite these two realms.

We are not as removed from the Spirit realm as we believe we are. Like our 5 Physical Senses we also have Non-Physical Senses that connects us to the Spirit realm. Our Non-Physical Senses – energy-sensing, intuition, compassion, empathy and imagination all connect us to each other and our environment. These 5 Non-Physical Senses are just as important to our BEING as our 5 Physical Senses. However, we do not give them the same level of AWARENESS as we do our 5 Physical Senses. We need to be more aware and to fully understand these 5 Non-physical Senses.
