“Consciousness is not some abstract concept. It's our state of mind - our thoughts and feelings at any given moment.
The 3LC model (Spacious, Heart, Safety) suggests the state of consciousness we are in will always influence how we perceive a situation, the choices we see for ourselves and our actions.
In other words, it affects everything.
Three Levels of Consciousness
Spacious - AWE - Expansive, Nonverbal, Nontemporal
Heart - Appreciation, Gratitude
Safety - Reward - Purposeful Proactive Productive
- Stuck - Anxiety Anguish Ambivalence
- Threat - Fight Flight Freeze”

“Consciousness is not something housed in the brain like a treasure in a chest. It is the field of being in which all life arises — intimate, closer than breath, and yet stretching beyond galaxies. We filter it through our personalities and experiences, but it is far more than that.”

“Consciousness is not the ineluctable starting point for self-understanding because there is a difference between being conscious and understanding oneself as a conscious being. The difference is between being in a certain state and knowing oneself to be in a certain state.”
“Consciousness is nothing but a neuro-chemical and a mechanical action of the body. Consciousness is important, but the expression of thoughts with language makes us human. Everything is conscious, but levels of consciousness are different.”
“Consciousness is nothing but awareness the composite of all the thing we pay attention to.”
“Consciousness is observing your thoughts and actions so that you can live from true choice in the present moment rather than being run by programming from the past.”
“Consciousness is only possible through change; change is only possible through movement.”
“Consciousness is our gateway to experience: It enables us to recognize Van Gogh’s starry skies, be enraptured by Beethoven’s Fifth, and stand in awe of a snowcapped mountain. Yet consciousness is subjective, personal, and famously difficult to examine.”

“Consciousness is our only reprieve from Time.”
“Consciousness is phenomenologically subjective whenever there is a stable, consciously experienced first-person perspective.”
“Consciousness is somehow a by-product of the simultaneous, high frequency firing of neurons in different parts of the brain. It's the meshing of these frequencies that generates consciousness, just as tones from individual instruments produce the rich, complex, & seamless sounds of a symphony orchestra”
“Consciousness is the awareness of the interaction and interdependence among mind, body, spirit, and the universe where it resides.”
“Consciousness is the awareness that emerges out of the dialectical tension between possibilities and limitations.”

“Consciousness is the creative element in the universe. Without it, nothing would appear.”

“Consciousness is the fabric of human reality. Consciousness allows humankind to engage in reason, make sense out of things, apply logic, verify facts, and adjust our actions based upon deliberate decision-making and hierological beliefs. We possess the ability to change our perspective, modify how we think, and alter our emotional responses. People can assimilate their thoughts and align their goals premised upon guiding beliefs or ideals that characterize a community or personal ideology based upon practical skills, wisdom, virtue, goodness, and community goodwill. Humans exhibit a creative spark that enables them to employ both their hunches and rational thoughts to adjust to changing situations. We can make logical, aesthetic, moral, and ethical judgments. The ability to modify their thinking patterns empowers all humans to alter their functional reality. By integrating our consciousness around our purpose in life, we can each become congruent in our daily thoughts and deeds.”

“Consciousness is the grave of things, the place where they cease to exist, beyond which they end. And when they have ended, it seems that they no longer have any essential existence except in the visions in me.”
“Consciousness is the greatest movie-maker in the whole world.”
“Consciousness is the greatest mystery of science. Scientists know that consciousness has something to do with the brain, but scientists do not know how this brain produces consciousness. Scientists call consciousness the “hard problem.” In spite of all this, progressively more individuals assert that knowledge about reality comes solely from science. It is a belief system in materialist science that is spreading across the world. Scientism does not realize it is, in reality, a religion. In brief, this new belief system is what is known as Scientism. Scientism is nothing less than a wolf in sheep’s clothing. It is the Demiurge masquerading as reasonable academic inquiry.”

“Consciousness is the ground of all being; everything is consciousness. Beyond that, definition is impossible because any way we may attempt to define it would limit consciousness.”
“Consciousness is the ground of Being.”
“Consciousness is the inner spark or inner link in us, the golden link within us that connects our highest and most illumined part with our lowest and most unillumined part. Consciousness is the connecting link between Heaven and earth.”

“Consciousness is the lamp that guides one through dark paths towards the destination;
a heart deprived of this lamp remains captive to darkness, no matter how many lights surround it.”
“Consciousness is the mere surface of our minds, of which, as of the earth, we do not know the inside, but only the crust.”

“Consciousness is the opposite of indifference, of blindness, blankness. Promoting consciousness involves the general dissemination of the concept that each of us in part of a universal action and interaction; that poles are somewhere connected; that there are material causes for trauma, vertigo, degenerative disease. Connections, connections, cause and effect, clarity on their relation and interrelations, the connection with the past, continuity, flow, movement, the awareness that nothing, nothing remains the same for long. And it follows that if a thing is not building, it is certainly decaying – that life is revolution – and that the world will die if we don’t read and act out its imperatives. Not on its own will it die, but rather because the forces of reaction have created imbalances that will kill it: “The seeds of its own destruction.” Our destruction too – the epoch of the Bomb, the nerve gases, the massive precipitation of industrial wastes.
Consciousness is knowledge, recognition, foresight; common experience and perception; sensibility, alertness, mindfulness. It stirs the senses, the blood, it exposes and suggests; it will objectify, enrage direct. There are no positive formulas for a thing so complex. We have guidelines only to help us with its growth. This means after we are done with our books, they must be put aside; and the search for method will depend on observations, correct analyses, creativity, and seizing the time.”

“Consciousness is the original sin: consciousness of the inevitability of our death.”
“Consciousness is the perception of what passes in man's own mind.”

“Consciousness is the result of neuro-linguistic programming. Language programs the nervous system to operate in a different way from that of instinctual animals. Language reprograms the nervous system, transitioning it away from fixed biological instincts to variable cultural ideas, leading to a staggering degree of change in the pace of mental evolution (but not physical, biological evolution – the body remains stubbornly the same). Language is what stands in greatest need of explanation. Once we fully understand language – not biology, not matter, not faith, not spirituality – we will understand existence fully. Existence itself is language – ontological mathematics – and manmade languages are possible exactly because they originate in a language-reality, not a material or spiritual reality. The fact that existence revolves around language means that language can answer what existence is. It means that existence has an exact answer, and that existence is fundamentally mental, intellectual and teleological. The science of consciousness should become the great new science. It will totally transform the human race. As humanity expands its consciousness, the quality and excellence of the human race will grow exponentially, and the culmination will be the divinity of humanity. Are you ready to join the gods?”

“Consciousness is the result of subconscious actions, vibrations, attractions, reflections, and manifestations.”
“Consciousness is the screen. The images on the screen are your perceptions, the illusion that life is solid, that there is a material universe.”
“Consciousness is the smallest player in the operations of the brain.”

“Consciousness is the stone that creates the waves in a sea of nothing”
“Consciousness is there in animal life. Beyond animal instincts, humans also have inherent recognition of good and evil in their conscience. Belief in deterministic justice and rewards in afterlife fulfils our aspiration to have true and fair reward for every small act of goodness and evil in afterlife. Every moment of a nurse and that of a cured or dead patient is not meaningless if one believes and prepare for afterlife by achieving excellence in morals. Imam Ghazali wrote that wealth is useful till we die, relatives till we are put in grave and only good deeds will be the currency on judgement day. If we have good deeds to take in next life, then we can have everlasting happiness that is not infected and affected by any Corona Virus.”

“Consciousness is, among other things, a spontaneous exercise in creativity.”

“Consciousness is, among other things, a spontaneous exercise in creativity. You are learning now, in a three-dimensional context, the ways in which your emotional and psychic existence can create varieties of physical form. You manipulate within the psychic environment, and these manipulations are then automatically impressed upon the physical mold.”

“Consciousness isn’t part of a child’s innate makeup. It has to be added. A child has to acquire consciousness, through education, something which others do to the child. Human culture operates on human infants to furnish them with a new operating system: consciousness. No other animal has a culture. No other animal can change their instinctual operating system. Children are the perfect laboratory for consciousness studies since they start off unconscious, slowly develop consciousness – for several years existing in an extraordinary liminal zone poised between the unconscious and conscious worlds – and, finally, become fully conscious. Via children, we can literally track how consciousness changes humans as we monitor the changing properties and abilities of children as their degree of consciousness increases.”

“Consciousness makes the individual careful to maintain his own existence; and if this were not so, there would be no surety for the preservation of the species. From all this it is clear that individuality is not a form of perfection, but rather a limitation; and so to be freed from it is not loss but gain.”

“Consciousness makes you an unlimited being by giving the power of your imagination.”
“Consciousness may be seen as the haughty and restless second cousin of morphology. Memory is its mistress, perception its somewhat abused wife, logic its housekeeper, and language its poorly paid secretary”
“Consciousness means choicelessness, and to be choiceless is to be free from all desire, is to be free from all projection, is to be free from all imagination, is to be free from future.”
