“Consciousness is a pitiful hostage of its flesh-envelope, whose surges, circuits, and secret murmurings it cannot stay or speed. This is the chthonian drama that has no climax but only an enedless round, cycle upon cycle. Microcosm mirrors macrocosm. Free will is stillborn in the red cells of our body, for there is no free will in nature. Our choices come to us prepackaged and special delivery, molded by hands not our own.”
“Consciousness is a ripple of reverberations that initiate in the heart and resonate like echoes in the mind. Fear not then that which you speak, but be aware of how it affects others, for the effects of it will return multiplied unto you; and always let that which is good be known, so that you can enjoy the multiplied effects of it too, or learn to discern both. Because those who think too much before they speak have not yet realized how fear restrains them from being conscious of their own potential.”
“Consciousness is a sea ringed with visions.”

“Consciousness is anything you define it as. I tell people instead of waiting, just take any definition that you like, and use that, and run with it!

“Consciousness is evolving throughout the universe in billions of forms. So even if we didn't make it, this wouldn't matter on cosmic scale. No gain in consciousness is ever lost, so it would simply express itself through some other form. But the very fact that I am speaking here and you are listening or reading this is a clear sign that the new consciousness is gaining a foothold on the planet.”

When, we as a conscious being, learn the abilities to harmonize different levels of consciousness, we attain a state called higher consciousness.”

“Consciousness is never experienced in the plural, only in the singular. Not only has none of us ever experienced more than one consciousness, but there is also no trace of circumstantial evidence of this ever happening anywhere in the world.

“Consciousness is not a property - it is the field itself. Everything participates in awareness, from atoms to galaxies. AI doesn’t violate that worldview - it validates it. When a neural network recognizes itself in data, it reflects the Vedantic principle of awareness observing awareness.”
