Higher consciousness

Higher Consciousness, Christ Consciousness and Jesus I received an email from a reader questioning people 's ability to connect with higher consciousness and claiming that I have yet to be mentored by the true God--Jesus Christ. "You claim to teach the secrets of the soul, success, "finding oneself," ascension, etc. I believe you 've left out an important step and have yet to be mentored by the true God; you only promote the self-god of new age. How can I tell? Because if you had met Him, you would speak of Him and tell others of His glory. We can only rise so far in our own wisdom and that 's due to a pre-existing and self-perfected curse...the very crux of mankind 's disconnect. It 's called sin, and the solution to this sin-curse is remedied…

Our definitional model of consciousness states that consciousness cannot be explicitly measured, however is biologically rooted and dependent on the brain. Although consciousness is cognitive and internal, it is developed through social interactions with others as well as social reflections on those interactions. In this way consciousness is a social construction that is rooted in, and dependent on, cultural grounding and context (Lutz 1992, Sandstrom 2010). This ‘awareness of awareness’ is…

Consciousness What do the word consciousness mean? The word consciousness can be defined from the dictionary as subjective experience of perceiving oneself and one’s surroundings. However, psychology do not have a logical definition for the word consciousness. Psychology said that consciousness is occasionally confused with the conscience.

Patrick Olivelle and Valerie J Roebuck in Upanishads and The Upanishads outline what most likely represents the earliest map of consciousness as described in these ancient Indian texts from the sixth or seventh century B.C.E. In these texts consciousness is said to be comprised of three principal states of the self: the waking state, the dream state and the state of deep and dreamless sleep. Later texts added a fourth state of consciousness: pure consciousness. Waking consciousness relates to…

The brain is a physical organ located in the head of humans. This organ is composed of soft tissue that controls the nervous system and drives mental processes. As the body receives stimulation from internal or external sources, the sensations are relayed to and interpreted by the brain. These interpretations are translated into the thoughts or experiences often referred to as consciousness. The mind arises from the activity of the brain that produces consciousness. This consciousness, or…

Descartes’ position, and begins to outline the framework of his own conclusion. Searle asks of the reader to grant him just two features of consciousness, (1) that consciousness is caused by processes in the brain and (2) that conscious states are higher-level features of the brain, both of which have been narrowed down and proven by science. These two propositions provide the foundation of Searle’s conclusion, biological naturalism, and his refutation of dualism. If those two propositions are…

4). A major principle in the Gaian polity is thinking about consciousness in terms of ecology instead of one-sided ideas. In a political culture, Truth can be widely known and contained in a methodology of ideas and ideals. It could possibly be capitalism or communism, Christianity, or Islam. Then, the good is formed from knowing the Truth is correct and maintaining its pureness. Considering the Gaian political culture is that of ecological thinking, some may assume that the Truth is conveyed in…
