OWNED BY ALL YET UNDEFINABLE...
J's take on CONSCIOUSNESS
This is perhaps the most difficult subject to share one's opinion of...
​
According to the Cambridge Dictionary, the word consciousness benefits from 4 contextual definitions:
1- In the context of understanding: The state of understanding and realizing something;
2- In the context of awake: The state of being awake, thinking, and knowing what is happening around you;
3- In the context of being awake: The state of being awake, aware of what is around you, and able to think;
4- In the context of noticing: The fact of noticing the existence of something.
​
From what we can take out of these definitions, consciousness seems to be a "state" of mind, where one is aware and awake of something and understands and realizes that which it notices.
Yet from a broader perspective, great minds are now realizing that Consciousness is perhaps imbedded in ALL THAT IS. From the Universe we observe that basks in its Ether, to the rock one throws into the pond. Source, God, Infinity are as conscious as you are, but to what LEVEL?
When we refer to the ASCENSION process of our times, we are referring to the ascending of consciousness, wether it is for one's self or that of our collective community, the shifting of awareness into 5D will undoubtably be recognized by our personal states of consciousness growing into oneness, one by one.

THE CONSCIOUSNESS DEBATE
Consciousness is a mystery that matters to all of us, in every moment of our lives. Discussions of consciousness go back thousands of years, and have gained a new urgency in current times. In the Upanishads, the primary reality of creation is the Self, of everyone and of everything. Within the traditions of Cartesian dualism, mind and matter are distinct. For some modern neuroscientists, consciousness is created inside the brain: mind is a property of matter. In our uneasy era of genetic modification, ‘nootropic’ smart drugs and rapid advances in AI, debates around consciousness acquire new inflections, new dangers and new possibilities. Will we ever solve the mystery of consciousness? What is the relationship between mind and matter and does consciousness extend beyond brains?
