– THE TWO TYPES OF CONSCIOUSNESS -- There are TWO types of consciousness. A human being (a divine animal) contains one of each type. The FIRST type of consciousness is called SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS. SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS refers to the physical being, the divine animal that is aware of itself as an entity that is separate and different from the other human beings, i.e., it knows itself to be an individual being, an individual person. It is this self-consciousness that creates the individual personality of the body-brain, the ego-I condition of each individual person, also called the psychological person-ality. A more indepth understanding is that the inner self (spirit or soul) become identified with the physical body-brain, the brain, an "organic" binary computer produces "the field of the mind" which is a sort of "organic cyber space", an "artificial consciousness". True consciousness is the universal living subtle energy that causes the brain to function. When the physical body and brain pass away the consciousness continues. True consciousness is the living subtle energy of the universe(s), a sort of living mind-energy. This "living energy" is the same underlying consciousness (energy) in all humans and therefore connects all humans together (this is how intuition works between people). In truth all human beings are "one being" but being stressed differently because of the "programs" which are stored in the "organic computer brain" and gives the "illusion of individuality". To hurt or kill another person is to actually hurt or kill "part" of yourself. "As machines become more humanlike - humans become more like programmed machines". The SECOND type of consciousness is called SELF-AWARENESS. Self-awareness is the spiritual and universal consciousness, that which is called God, the SELF-AWARENESS IN the physical body is called the soul, Holy Spirit, the inner man, the divine SELF, the eternal SELF, the son of God, and is the spark of God and is the same as God. Self-awareness is pure and without form. Self-awareness, or spiritual self-awareness resides in the physical body. But is not part of the body and brain function. Spiritual-self-awareness never dies, and continues to exist even after the death of the physical body brain with it own self created psychological personality the ego-I. If SPIRITUAL-SELF-AWARENESS (the REAL eternal you) becomes associated and identified with the SELF CONSCIOUSNESS and the psychological personality of the physical animal body it loses its universal awareness, i.e., the spiritual consciousness believes itself to now be the physical body and brain and personality. This MISTAKE or the FORGET FULLNESS of the SPIRITUAL-SELF-AWARENESS to STAY SEPARATE and "experience" life from a separate state is called the ORIGINAL SIN. 35.4www.guardiantext.orgPreviousTable of ContentsNextHome |
