JANU: Your inquiry this evening represents a natural state called ‘consciousness.’ Let us begin by turning the tables on this, as to ‘where consciousness resides’ into ‘presence of mind.’
The human reality of consciousness, of which there are many others, consists primarily of awareness. Now, awareness exists everywhere, our brother, all of creation has some form of this. One might consider that the mind is the seat of awareness, which is not the brain, for it exists whether incarnate or not. But the mind is not the epitome of awareness. Its essence reflects experience. Wisdom is a product of this, but the patterns of awareness transcend even this and they reside in everything, every reality. These patterns are adapted to the nature of many realities. They transcend time/space for the realities beyond the physical, you see, co-exist with the physical, with the brain and mind.
Empirical approach to understanding the realities of life is limited, for to explore consciousness, awareness, one must realize the capacity for this. It is a collective reality, residing in many forms, not limited to any individual. All of life, our brother, is self-aware in one way or another. What you are unaware of in the moment, another part of life is aware of. Consciously employing the co-existent reality of your own nature expands consciousness. So keep your mind open to unlimited reality as consciousness realizes its potential. Namaste.
