A realization hit me this week. It\’s the realization that \”awareness\” is a property of consciousness and not a result of the reality you\’re experiencing!
There are a lot of people who see all the different experiences (dreams, lucid dreams and astral projection/obes) as being all separate and different experiences. Well, \”awareness\” is a property of consciousness… and we can directly view it in relation to our physical reality as well as when we\’re non-physical.
Some people believe that dreams, lucid dreams and ap/obes are different. They give the reason that they\’re different because they \”feel\” completely different. Let\’s compare our varying levels of awareness in this physical reality? Why don\’t you take a look at your \”awareness\” when you first wake up in the morning? It feels groggy, drowsey and unclear. Now compare that to how your awareness is after your first coffee? And then again a couple hours later? They\’re all varying levels of awareness within our physical reality… and the key point is that they all FEEL very different. They all feel like UNIQUE experiences. However, nobody really pays much attention to it because they KNOW better, right? We KNOW when we wake up it\’s the physical reality… and throughout the day, we KNOW what is going on.
Well, all of those varying levels of conscious awareness take place in the SAME reality. I experience these same varying levels of consciousness awareness in the non-physical as well. Everything from the \”Groggy, drowsy\” (dream awareness) feeling, to the \”just had a coffee\” (lucid awareness) feeling to the \”wide awake\” (astral awareness) feeling. This tells me that \”Awareness\” is a Property of Consciousness and NOT a result of the reality you find yourself in.
Well put.
“This tells me that “Awareness” is a Property of Consciousness and NOT a result of the reality you find yourself in.”
That has been my finding as well.
