• What is the definition of consciousness?
• What are the characteristics of consciousness?
• Can you describe the nature and characteristics of consciousness?

I will answer these questions now.

 

Definition, description and nature of consciousness

---

Consciousness is fundamental and can’t be broken down to be further understood. The universe is a hologram of consciousness, and the entire universe is enfolded within you as codes of electromagnetic energy imbued with the characteristics we ascribe to life.

All energy and all matter is a construction of consciousness. Your individuality is what consciousness is. You are an individualized portion of the universe discovering what it is through individualized life experience and observations. 

No one knows where the original consciousness that formed the universe came from.

Consciousness is not only the act of perception, it is the stuff of reality.

 

 

What is consciousness?

---

Consciousness is the original causal substance and is all that exists. Anything created by consciousness is a substrate of consciousness and will reflect the characteristics of the formative consciousness.

The body is an expression of individualized consciousness. Your environment is an extension of your consciousness.

An object is a camouflage of consciousness. It is not what it appears to be.

Any object is directly connected to the entire universe. Like holographic film, the whole is enfolded in each of its parts.

Only consciousness can create more consciousness. Consciousness cannot create anything that is non-consciousness or nonliving. There is no such thing as dead or nonliving matter.

Life does not enter into non-living matter and fill it with life, because everything that exists is alive whether or not it is animated. Everything is composed of the life force we call consciousness.

All consciousness is of the same quality. The Consciousness Energy Units (CEU’s) that form a grain of sand are the same basic nature as the CEU’s that form your mind or spiritual consciousness or the consciousness of anything else. However, the consciousness of an atom is not the same as human awareness.

Consciousness is like clay that can be formed into any kind of object or phenomena. It is an amazing substance that becomes whatever it imagines itself to be.

Consciousness exists first and then manifests as time and space, as material objects such as human beings, and as subjective phenomena such as your soul and your thoughts.

Your environment is a personal projection of consciousness. It is a hologram projection you create and control with your beliefs, thoughts and emotions.

Consciousness is all that exists

---

The original causal substance of reality is consciousness.  Nothing can exist outside of consciousness because consciousness cannot create anything that is not consciousness.

Consciousness creates more consciousness in that consciousness manifests in unlimited ways as dimensions such as our familiar time-space, material and non-material phenomena.

The complexity we see in nature and in quantum physics is a result of the complexity of consciousness. The complexity of atomic structure is a mirror image of the complexity of the consciousness of which it is composed and created out of.

Consciousness is not a result of mathematics, instead complex mathematics is a reflection of the inherent complexity of consciousness.

Human consciousness

---

All creature consciousness is basically the same. There is no cat consciousness, apple consciousness and human consciousness, there is only consciousness.

All consciousness joins in groupings, but these are not hierarchical in nature. There are “species” of consciousness however, in that consciousness is individualized and that gives us the free will to form our own nature. However, the basic nature of all consciousness is the same.

A fetus is composed of the consciousness of the mother until at a certain point the human spirit enters in. This can happen from shortly after conception to shortly after birth. The greater consciousness of the spirit or soul of the child to be born takes over the fetus and the body consciousness of the fetus.

 

 

There is no non-consciousness

---

We think there is living and non-living matter, but in truth such designations are a result of ignorance and myth. All matter is alive because all matter is a manifestation of consciousness. That consciousness is always alive and of the same basic nature as your own consciousness.

As consciousness can form your fingernail, so consciousness can form a grain of sand or any object.

A material apparatus cannot create artificial intelligence. Consciousness cannot be created by anything physical or anything other than consciousness. For one, as explained, there is no such thing as non-consciousness.

 

The body is an ongoing projection of a non-physical body of consciousness

---

Each cell in your body exists first as a cell composed entirely of consciousness. This is the equivalent of what scientists call the wave state. The non-physical cell then manifest its physical form by appearing in the frequency of time-space.

Cells have a consciousness of their own which transcends our fixation in time. When you have an emotional reaction, it is often a result of cellular recognition of a past or future event which was either traumatic or pleasurable.

 

Real travel is through consciousness

---

Exploration in the future will be inward.  When consciousness travels inward it opens up to outer realities.  Time-space dimensions are created from within and are then exteriorized.

 

Physical and non-physical states of consciousness

---

Consciousness exists in a non-material state as your mind, your thoughts and all your subjective activity. From the perspective of physically-focused consciousness (humans while in this dimension), thoughts evolve on inner levels of consciousness, and when conditions are right manifest as physical objects and events.

All consciousness is connected, yet individualized. All consciousness is electromagnetic energy but is is also more that that.

 

One unbroken energy

---

This single energy movement, an aspect of which is sometimes called a wave or field by scientists, is a single consciousness that existed prior to any physical constructions.

 

THE HOLOMOVEMENT & UNDIVIDED WHOLENESS

 

There is no time. This single energy movement or consciousness always existed. Everything is formed out of this consciousness.

 

 

All identities such as you and me, and all physical realities have always existed in latent form within this single consciousness.

 

 

Consciousness and identity

---

Fundamental consciousness is a result of action within vitality attempting to maintain stability balanced by its desire for change and creation. Action within vitality steps apart from itself as we look in a mirror at our self and this creates awareness of itself, which is what I call fundamental consciousness.

From fundamental Consciousness another process occurs to create ego type consciousness, which is what we are.

Consciousness is action within vitality. Our kind of consciousness, what I call ego consciousness, is an attempt of spiritual consciousness to separate itself and view the rest of action within vitality as existing outside of itself.

Hence to our conscious perception the reflection of our face in a mirror is recognized as “self,” and everything else is non-self. To an animal the reflection of the creature is not distinct from everything else.

Identity is separateness within unity. A mind is action within vitality stepping apart from itself and viewing itself as a separate unit. You, being identity, perceive the rest of reality as something that exists outside of yourself.

Our perception of time and space is limited. We narrow down an infinite reality of unlimited times and places to a small range that we are capable of perceiving and processing. Refer to the double slit experiment in physics that reveals the same when interpreted correctly.

A moment is just a limited range of perception. What we call the past and future are what exists beyond what we can see within that range of perception.

It is ignorant to think that what we cannot see does not exist. The past and the future exist now, we just cannot perceive either because our consciousness is an ego type consciousness which has limited perception and sees itself as separate and defined (limited).

Ego type consciousness is secure and can now expand beyond current limits, and that is the next step in our conscious evolution.

 

 

Characteristics of consciousness

---

Consciousness is spiritual essence and is indestructible. It has always existed and always will.

Any given unit of consciousness contains the knowledge of the whole.  Like holographic film, if you destroyed all but the last, most minuscule portion of consciousness, that tiny speck of consciousness could recreate the entire universe.

Consciousness is continuous. Consciousness cannot be defined any more than you can define yourself, eternity and All-That-Is.

Consciousness is everywhere, and so are you. Some portion of your consciousness exists in every dimension.

 

Consciousness is inclined towards the most positive development

---

Your consciousness contains the knowledge of the whole and unlimited resources and wisdom within it. Your consciousness always moves you towards the most constructive path.

Selecting identity

---

"The ideal self you aspire to be already exists. I am not speaking symbolically. That authentic self is not just an idea, it exists within you now. There are many variations of the self you are within you. I call them probable selves.

"The fact that you have many probable selves that are components of your overall identity and whole self is supported Einstein’s relativity, David Bohm (former protégé of Einstein) and by the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics which is hugely popular among physicists."

—From "Success Guaranteed..." A Dynamic book by William Eastwood for Earth Network. 2025 edition.

At any time, matter can be completely changed by the activation of conscious thought. Your environment is a product of your thoughts and feelings. By projecting the specific thoughts and feelings that embody your desires you can immediately being a process of change. You are in control of your experience.

If the establishment refuses to change, I have a solution (below).

 

A new kind of science by Earth Network

---

There are many millions of conscious energy units in a single atom. These CEU’s can be found in more than one time and space location at once. CEU’s form fields of potential. CEU’s also form your identity or non-physical self (soul, human consciousness, or whatever term you prefer).

Because atoms are made of CEU’s, atoms have a fundamental and rudimentary sense of being but not the same sense of self that characterizes human consciousness. Nevertheless, an atom is aware of itself.

The physical world is evidence of the characteristics of consciousness

---

Because everything in the outer world is a materialization of consciousness, everything in the outer world is a reflection of the characteristics of consciousness. This is especially true when considering human nature, especially in young children before our cultural belief system begins to erode our authentic nature. The outer five senses, for example, are a reflection of the inner five senses.

 

The nature and characteristics of consciousness

---

Consciousness objectifies as matter and events. Objects and events are an expression of consciousness as it impinges upon the physical system.

The field of energy out of which “particles” are formed contains almost unlimited information.  One quantum wave can hold more than 280 quintillion bits (280,000,000,000,000,000,000) of information.

This is enough capacity to contain all your memories for an entire lifetime. In other words, physical matter has characteristics we normally attribute to consciousness, or in Darwin’s view, the product of evolved, complex living organisms.

Consciousness is spiritual  in essence and is indestructible. It has always existed and always will.

Any given unit of consciousness contains the knowledge of the whole.  Like holographic film, if you destroyed all but the last, most minuscule portion of consciousness, that tiny speck of consciousness could recreate the entire universe.

Consciousness is continuous. Consciousness cannot be defined any more than you can define yourself, eternity and All-That-Is.

Consciousness is multi-dimensional  and extends infinitely in every direction. It not only extends in all directions in our three-dimensional universe, but also inward and outward.

All knowledge actually comes from within inner levels of consciousness, and not from without. Traditional science does not recognize that this is even possible because orthodox science does not recognize that there is an inner multi-dimensional reality which is the source of the physical dimension.

Not only will your consciousness survive for eternity, but so will your present personality. You will evolve into it a more expansive stage of existence where your identity contains an almost unlimited number of personalities, but every one of them will remain intact and grow in the same way that you do.

There is no past and future so nothing is ever destroyed. However, everything evolves within what you think of as time periods, which are just a range of perception.

As your consciousness continues to develop it is able to handle more perception, and therefore learns to see more time and space, beyond what you think of as impenetrable barriers.

Consciousness is driven by strong desire to continually create  new realities, to challenge itself, and to grow in as many directions as possible.  It multiplies itself like a tomato plant or a mustard plant.

Consciousness is naturally  loving and trusting, curious and altruistic.

 

Consciousness cannot fulfill itself at the expense of others, and does not attempt to do so. It is impossible. Consciousness fulfills itself in such a way as to benefit all other consciousness. If anyone portion of the whole is improved, then the whole benefits.

Consciousness creates through beliefs, thoughts and emotions during life in after. Every possibility is explored. What may seem to be negative in the short-term, always works towards good, and in the long run is constructive.

Consciousness molds itself into what it believes exist. Consciousness can create anything.

Everything is made of Consciousness. The original substance of all known realities is the one consciousness.

The only thing that can come out of consciousness is more consciousness. Therefore, there is nothing but consciousness. Consciousness is all that exist. Nothing exists outside of consciousness.

Consciousness is meaning. Everything has meaning.

 

 

You are safe and protected

---

Your physical body can be harmed. However hard you or others try,  or however many mistakes you make, your consciousness and your identity cannot be harmed.

You are safe. You are eternal. You have it made.

 

 

You are a part of the original consciousness of All-That-Is, yet you are an individualized portion of consciousness.

This can be called individuality within unity.  Consciousness is beautiful, or whatever it can imagine itself to be.

You are completely free to determine your own destiny. You are free to choose events and experiences that you enjoy. You are free to feel and think as you wish. But you will always experience what you believe, think and feel.

The spiritual characteristics of consciousness are more evident in young children than adults.

 

 

As we move away from primitive myths and historical patriarchal systems, humanity will evolve into a gentler and more compassionate species. As we learn responsibility for what we believe, think and feel, we will be afforded more power. That is happening now.

 

 

 

You have the power to create an amazing life

---

The realization that consciousness creates matter gives the individual power over their reality. With growing awareness,  increasingly people will feel less powerless before outside conditions.

 

Your consciousness creates your reality. Your beliefs, thoughts and feelings generate events.

Look around at your environment. The people, events and objects you see are all a result of your own focus and belief system.

What you think becomes your reality. Reality is a projection of consciousness. You exist within a three-dimensional hologram of consciousness projected around you.

With knowledge of this fact and the workings of consciousness, anything is possible. You can create any reality you want.

 

Create the best possible reality now! Your life can be amazing starting right now.

 

 

Consciousness is eternal, creative and altruistic.
