Consciousness… What is That?

Consciousness Is:
– Everything that is moving, everything that is still.
– The Force that creates movement & creates stillness and also all that which moves & all that which is still.
– No less than everything in appearance, and also the Space which everything appears in. To be seen, experienced, expressed – Awareness itSelf.

That which is Aware of itSelf: Consciousness.

Like the snake swallowing its own tail, a clear symbol of no beginning, no end – seed, sprout, growth, decay, dirt… which then feeds the next seed.

Awareness expressing itself, to itself, over and over again.

Words, words, words… how to share something that can find its way to you… to be heard and felt… inclusive of the mind, yet beyond it as well. Words which speak of ‘That’ – which includes the mind, yet is beyond it also. If the mind ‘thinks’ it knows, that is not it. Knowing something is not it. Which can be a relief – to not believe what the mind has to say.

If you feel to, experiment with this: with not believing what the mind says. It might be true, and it might not be true, just don’t believe it implicitly. Instead, release yourSelf into noticing it and ‘not knowing’… freedom.

How does this show up in the day-to-day happenings in regular living?

Slowing down and noticing what is the loudest thing happening – the most present. In most people it is their mind, continually talking to them about everything. The mind is also part of consciousness… the tendency with people is to make this happening (thoughts happening) ‘wrong’. Instead, just let it run. When a person believes what their mind says, that ‘believing’ energizes those thoughts, makes the thoughts more manifest and empowers the mind with itself to continue with the running commentary. None of it is wrong and any force applied to ‘make it stop’ will be the equal force that keeps it going (basic physics). Just like a breeze touching your face, does that mean anything? Sometimes, it may carry a scent of a fresh baked pie and so, could therefore, invite you to pie. The same goes for those thoughts, sometimes they carry information which invites you to action. Sometimes they are just displaying themselves to you, like waves on the ocean… meaning nothing at all.
