It is ignorance that consciousness has levels!

QUESTION: Consciousness has no levels, to think that is pure ignorance. That makes consciousness a concept, something with properties, with layers. Those layers can be real in the form of conditioning, attachment to belief systems and all attainments, i.e. the ego.

Excellent explanation.

great explanation thank you

[@BlissfulGetaways101]

Pretty good explanation...

[@deborahlasorda3767]

When I have heard Bernardo Kastrup explain his perspective, I feel he is saying the same thing. Free Will is experienced when you become "Awakened". That makes sense to me. In this lower realm, we "follow orders" and become part of the system and avoid negative outcomes. Free Will implies expansion. Or as Federico Faggin states, "There is 'Knowing', and there is 'Potential Knowing'". Thanks for sharing.

The physical light waves has levels. The non-physical energy has also levels as well as consciousness.

[@leif2660]

Levels of consciousness could be likened to different positionalities based on Self-knowledge. The more you embody and realize who you are, the more freedom and happiness is experienced. It is not necessarily a linear progression. The source of the witness obviously never changes but the unfolding of life within that is being witnessed (individually) evolves according to one's relationship with life. This is why people who remain humble, open-minded and use every experience as a catalyst for growth may advance quickly towards liberation from suffering whereas the close-minded and selfish remain stuck in deep ignorance. Compassion for humanity and all expressions of life is pretty much an automatic byproduct for those who've gained insight into life's machinations.

I concur

[@user-em8pb5tz9h]

The questioner admits that belief systems may give REAL layers to consciousness. When the belief systems accepted are destructive, you are then guaranteed to lower your own state of consciousness. Look at the jungles of destructive beliefs found in jail populations of any country. Criminals are so by their lower state of consciousness.

All octaves, frequencies, tones and colors of the one true reality of God are real. They are facets of the one great truth. And so they exist, in levels as varied as choice. 🥰

[@reggaegigs]

As a parent, with children, others that are now adults, there's no doubt, I can see differences in my children's individual levels of consciousness. Everything has levels, including the experience of adult life, they're individual adults that I have observed, some have low levels of awareness and others more complex and advanced levels of awareness. Awareness is consciousness with varied levels of understanding, expression and experience! To deny levels of consciousness is akin to say the person that suggested no levels, has the same exact consciousness as a one day old infant! Ridiculous 😅.

[@Dapricott]

It’s all a matter of perspective. You can believe all is one and still subdivide things - that’s why we exist to begin with is because clearly there’s a disconnect somewhere (or many somewheres) and that is why we are here as the beings we are with the ideas we have. Or so I believe. It has gotten this experience as far as where I am and will continue to take me where I go. Where it ends I wait to see.

[@axelnilsson2031]

yes but why subdivide when it comes to consciousness in particular, people apply duality as if though its required for consciousness in particular when its required for anything to exist at all, I think that when you do that you basically say that consciousness IS everything which in turn contradicts the dual nature that got you there and so its the liars paradox/russels paradox, so why even take a stance at all on the matter? when it comes to the nature of existence we can't really say anything, we can't speak of any elementary ontological substance, and so we can't speak of multiple ones either

[@Dapricott]

@@axelnilsson2031 Personally, I think it’s because, well, how would anything exist is everything didn’t exist? That involves the duality, the contradictions, as well as the idea of nonexistence. It simply has to exist because it simply does. Why take a stance? Well, there isn’t a point but… That is the point. You can have any stance at all - one in which you don’t believe, you do believe, or are neutral and don’t really think of it. The only reason there are stances on it is so you may make your own and not base your life off of others’ stances. I ruminate often about that. What is the point? Why know? Why not know? What is the point? I send myself into spiraling thoughts and contradict myself often, and then I remember that I want a say on it, and so I have it.

If there were no levels of consciousness, then how come slavery was seen as normal for thousands of years? Now most clearly see slavery as unacceptable as humanity has grown. And far higher average levels of consciousness will obviously be found in developed nations in contrast to countries like Haiti or Nepal.

[@Dapricott]

That is because the higher-dimensional beings that created us (masquerading as gods or god and manipulating us through our own beliefs) literally made us to be slaves - that’s why everything is fucked up is because there’s no one to enslave but ourselves and they clearly aren’t here right now.

[@charliebrens3349]

There is but one consciousness and everything, known and unknown, is a part of it.

[@ramirezallen1]

It's a paradoxical truth! When you leave the vessel from this physical stimulation then it's pure consciousness. One is not in a physical stimulation of this duality, hence the unconscious that dwells within our vessel along with our consciousness is an experience when we live away from the Astral world or mental aspect where there no such physical existence. To the question and answer it would be fair to say yes

[@Lifelover-zj3oo]

It is possible to be more and less conscious, as subject.

[@JessicaSunlight]

It is possible, you can look at criminals and basically at any people who are doing criminal activities, they are at a low level of consciousness and then you can look at anyone who is not responding to aggression with aggression ,those people are in much higher level of consciousness. Some people temporary can rise a bit in consciousness beyond their normal level of consciousness and then return to their natural level of consciousness or even fall below again on a temporary basis but then again clime back. Not sure what you mean by "subject".

Alpha beta theta delta…the actual word consciousness had genealogy of meaning conditions. Awareness is like essential nature, indivisible by form or nonform. The idea of form or non form as two distinct, isn’t n d visible. Remember they used try consonant sound also. Check the relationship with fating ears to hear and with eyes to see like shepherd through a dark night. Then Yule have ft fr with fr. Tv with tat ha.(fire with fire, tooth with tooth) and one. Also awareness to try consonant language is universal, immeasurable. If you attempt to measure the essential nature of the sky for example. How can language implore what can only be pointed to? Understand? Now look at kalimas toung. Notice is solid, like the sword of Gd. In a lot of ways, it has one meaning. Notice her toung is one entire good old fashioned toung. No rips tears or scars. Notice she destroys delusion. Notice shi means auspicious propitious, Going pee if you say it twice, Or thank you if you treat consonant and vowel compliment for the sake of understanding. In t end oh? With love and respect, bridge over troubled waters. Also known as laka the Irish . Besides with a title like that, go tell your elbow.

If we ask billions of people questions like who or what God is we will get billions of different options, no matter how profound or slight, so are we not asking questions that cannot be answered, but we have to admit we have a question we can talk about forever and never have an answer, hahahahaha

[@JessicaSunlight]

That's only a person who not able to discern truth suffers from this. There are opinions based on nothing and there are words that have truth in them, you can only know this by developing intuition and Christ discernment that will allow you to experience truth behind the words. Well if you will stay in the same state of consciousness or at the same level, of course you will never know, with your current level of consciousness its a mystery, for higher levels of consciousness it is not.
