What really is consciousness?

in #life7 years ago

These days many people talks about consciousness, many writers defines it differently but what really is consciousness?

The famous resource of wikipedia defines consciousness as 'the state and quality of being aware of an external subject within oneself.'

Still for many of us it is rather a vague definition, which leads to many calling it some sort of exotic philosophy.

Will share with you the most compelling definition of consciousness which I have ever received which help me tremendously to understand what consciousness really is and it mighty assist you as well.

Before being aware of external subjects within oneself, or more precisely to be aware of external subjects, one have to experience and must understand the components of consciousness.

Consciousness as a single word is actually an aggregation of 5 body organs perceptions, and this post will display each one of them for a better understand of consciousness as a whole.

The 5 Consciousness.

There are 5 consciousness, without the understand of each single one, one's ability to be aware of an external subject is somehow quite difficult for the majority of people.

1 - The Eyes Consciousness.

The consciousness of vision - the eyes consciousness, the consciousness that experience everything that you look at, everything that one sees.

5 - The Skin Consciousness.

The consciousness of touch -the skin/organs consciousness, the consciousness that feel, a sexual intercourse is primarily experience by this consciousness and for many a complete experience of love making is when the 5 consciousness experience itself in a complete whole experience.

It is interesting to observe the results about how successful the webcam industry perform, as web cam performers can offer to it's clients the experienced of only two consciousness, the consciousness of eyes, and hear ( no taste, smell, or touch) still it is a market that circulates a tremendous amount of financial transactions.

A clear example about the misunderstanding, the deluded ignorance of many individuals about the experience of consciousness.

So here we have as if separated in small pieces, the 5 consciousness, all at which assist the individual to be aware of an external subject experience.

The sages advise us to experience and exercise, as everyday, at every single minute, a certain consciousness is manifesting within us, sometimes not all consciousness at the same time , other times all of them.

One could argue that a blind person is unable to experience all the 5 consciousness, the same as a deaf individual, and it is not wrong .

After reading this post, you are able to experience consciousness differently as this post assist you to experience another dimension of being alive.

The 6 consciousness sometimes called the 6th sense, is the consciousness of mind, but that is the subject of another post.
