Difference Between Consciousness and Awareness of Being

Hi Dan,

Is there a difference between Consciousness and Awareness of being?
If yes, what are they?
Or are they interchangeable descriptions?

I have read NEVILLE say over and over again that "we have to be conscious of what we want to be or have"...

Regards,

Phaul

Phaul,

You raise interesting questions. I suspect you are working out the solution to this question just as I am. Everything is consciousness. It doesn’t have a choice. The power that becomes matter at observation is consciousness, but is it aware of being? We dream, and we may be aware of being, BUT IS THE DREAM AWARE? I posit that consciousness is the Imagination of the Ineffable, and vice versa. All I can say is that the Ineffable has consciousness, and that consciousness imagines. I very much appreciate Neville’s vision in the lecture "Unless I Go Away." In the vision, the sunflowers with human faces convey expression of the Ineffable’s will. I liken the sunflowers to units of imagination. They all work individually in concert, but are anchored to their response and reaction roles. Is there awareness in them of their individuality and/or of their godhood? I think those are the freedoms Neville realized he had and they did not. Neville was aware of his individual being and his I AM-ness. He was a dream aware of being a dream in the Ineffable’s consciousness/imagination. Well, certainly that is consciousness, but it is a certain kind of consciousness.

Aware of being an individual imagination of the Ineffable's consciousness and connected to everything in every way, we have to choose what we imagine. Wisdom in selection of what we imagine and our skill in doing so come with education and practice. Maybe here is where we should genuinely ask, ”What would Jesus do?”

More in your next letter.
