Friday 12 July 2013 – Consciousness

Our consciousness extends itself beyond our physical senses. It is an integration of what we physically perceive, what we understand, our cultural wisdoms, our sociocultural practices and our relationships. Consciousness embeds itself in to every facet of our being and it grounds it’s foundations in awareness. When we attain this awareness or are on the path to attaining this awareness, we recognise a clarity that permeates our entire being. We are able to observe deep truth and reality in all of our interactions, both internal and external to ourselves…

This is a beautiful realisation that is discovered through means of query, searching and creating a space to truly desire (from a place of non-attachment) more than what we think we know… It is when we move beyond the cultural constraints of our society and realise that there is more to our life than what we have collectively created for ourselves that we realise the essence and beauty of this life… Expanding our consciousness includes expanding our understanding of our our individual and collective, yet completely connected potential… We have the choice to empower ourselves with wisdom, when moving against the collective grain of social structures, we find a beauty that is awaiting discovery… Discovery by you, me, by us… SS.
