Being conscious of ourselves and others is as simple as our everyday chores — if only we are receptive to hear the echo and experience things around us. Yet, the apparent thing is we tend to drift to a different level when we are aloof of our own self, or side-step our experience. This takes us to a state of not being mindful of things around us — a lopsided equation. The more we embrace consciousness, the more quickly we connect with the present. On the other hand, when we repel the inner realm of our consciousness, it heightens our ambiguity. It elevates our uncertainty too and depletes our natural language of living in the present-moment.
Conscious awareness is synonymous with mindfulness. It has got nothing to do with what one would think of as consciousness in a given context. This includes a plethora of states we are conscious of, or responsive to, or understand them through our thought processes, feelings, images, dreams, and physical, or other, sensations. You’d think of them all as being beneath and above your psyche, including your corporeal and spiritual perception of being consciously embraced by that radiant, spiritual light that resides in us.
Compass & Radar
You’d think of consciousness as being equivalent to your mind’s compass and radar too. Granted that this allegory is far too expansive, wide, and also tapered — depending upon our own boundary of thought and outlining of contexts and their diverse, also palpable and not palpable shades and tones. This is not all. When you equate your mind with its processes, conscious or not conscious, it becomes a part of your self-consciousness — just as musical rhythms and their subtleties are to the harmony of the spheres.
