Our consciousness awareness depends upon what we are exposed to, taught, shown, encouraged to explore or contemplate throughout our lives, as well as from our DNA programming.
Think of consciousness as a net of sensors which gather information. The ‘mind’ is like the dongle that information is stored into. The brain is the computer which runs the file and the DNA is like the hard drive.
After the human body is dead the information from the hard drive can be released back into the collective human consciousness for others to find another time.
Conscious awareness could be as simple as knowing that iPhones exist in the world. If we are told about them, our consciousness takes on that information and we have become aware of the existence of the iPhone. If we live in a tribe in the middle of the jungle, we may have no awareness of an iPhone so we are not conscious of their existence. What exists or does not exist can be relative and subjective based upon our conscious awareness.
The word consciousness is often appropriated by the new age community linking it to spirituality. But consciousness is not innately spiritual – it is simply gathering information.
People who are not interested in how a space rocket works will ignore any information they are given on the subject just as anyone who is not interested in how the spirit world works will ignore that information. When we ignore any information our consciousness does not expand any further in that direction.
We often talk about higher or lower consciousness and place judgements on how ‘high’ or ‘low’ our consciousness is. The nervous system registers the information and sends signals to the emotional body. If our flight/fight response is engaged we call it lower consciousness. If our compassionate response is engaged we call it higher consciousness. This is misleading because everyone reacts differently to different ideas. Someone may be frightened by the idea of an after-life, just as they might be by a spider, a balloon, or by crossing a bridge.
If someone believes that we can communicate, exist and function merely as a spirit, then some might say they have an expanded consciousness, but it is no more expanded than someone who knows about some other subject, such as wine or cheese. A person can have a hugely expanded consciousness and yet never have explored any spiritual information. They may know a million facts about sport or politics but know nothing about the supernatural world.
It is important that we expand our consciousness in all directions to gain a balanced view of the information we access. When we open our consciousness to any new information we risk getting information overload and risk having no context in which to place that information. Expanding our conscious awareness via drugs or transcendental meditation may seem like a good idea, but knowing how to cook dinner is no less important than communicating with star beings.
Instability, stress and even insanity can follow excessive downloads of information. Some people can actually feel their brain aching when downloads of information come in to fast. Think of the stress which students often experience during exam time. If they are not careful to balance the incoming information, they may lose touch with the human world, forget to eat, find it hard to sleep and they may become ill with stress related illnesses and even have a mental breakdown.
Expanding our consciousness can be like doing a jigsaw puzzle. We constantly gather more pieces and add them to our picture of how the world works. Exploring spirituality and the supernatural can challenge the information we originally learnt about our existence and reality. We can become disoriented and confused when our logical mind cannot fit the pieces together. If our fight/flight response is triggered by the inexplicable, the intangible and the use of non-linear time, confusion, stress and insanity can start to take hold.
Expanding our consciousness awareness in any direction should always be done slowly, with care and hopefully with guidance from someone who has already explored that subject and who understands the pitfalls and dangers. Whether it is how to grow vegetables or how to communicate with spirit beings, we all need to learn the basics.
It is important to treat your consciousness with respect and your mind/brain with care. If you are becoming consciously aware of spiritual information, start at the beginning and keep balancing your intake of information with the third-dimensional world (stay grounded).
