What is Consciousness?

CONSCIOUSNESS = AWARENESS

Consciousness put simply refers to one’s awareness of internal and external existence. Consciousness is also how we respond to our internal and external existence with awareness.

The word consciousness has been debated by philosophers and scientists alike for hundreds of years without having agreed upon one definition. The only clarity that has been gained is that consciousness cannot be defined nor fully comprehended by the human mind. This is the reason it has been related mostly to what we also have failed to conceptualise as God – The Creator, Source, Universal Energy both within and outside of us.

In essence consciousness is awareness. Awareness determines what we recognize in ourselves, those around us and the world outside of us. It also determines how we respond both to internal processes and the outside world including everything and everybody in it.
