The group: We Comment Back

Great haiku. Thanks for posting to Gather For Art.

Since there weren't many comments on this one, I'll take this opportunity to passing along the following expanded dialogue on Consciousness:

RE: The Consciousness I Am, You Are and All Is

With respect to the on-going emphasis on "Consciousness" recently, it is probably worth noting that I feel rather strongly that "Consciousness," both as a concept and an actuality, has a clear potential to unify East and West, Theology and Philosophy, and Science and Religion.

I would also suggest that Consciousness is the Universal (or Divine if one is Theologically inclined) Principle (or Singularity) which all of the following seemingly disparate Words, Concepts or Names point to: "Being, Conscious Awareness, Aware-Presence, Divine Mind, I Am That I Am, I Am Consciousness, Unity Consciousness, Cosmic Consciousness, God Consciousness, the Light of Awareness, the Light of God, Christ Consciousness, the Word, the Logos, the One I Am, Christ, the Lord God, the Lord, the Son of God, God Manifest and God Create.

Seen in this Light, Consciousness, as both the Field and Fundamental Substance of All Being, is necessarily Ever-Present (thus the Biblical declaration, "Lo, I Am with me always) and Constant in the otherwise ever-changing world of relative being we all appear to be living in. As such, and by Absolute Standards (which suggests that only that which never changes is Ultimately Real), the Singular, One, God Consciousness of All (seen from either an inside/individual/particular or an outside/general/universal perspective) is the only Ultimate State, Condition or Supreme State of Being which one can say "was in the beginning, is now and ever shall" be (or "is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow") that Christianity refers to as the Alpha-Omega.

Start with Consciousness as the Key, as suggested above, and some otherwise mystical (seemingly only) Scripture becomes perfectly comprehensible -- not to mention perfectly reasonable and logical. Take the following two examples previously offered in a different context:

1) "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus." (Phil 25). So what exactly is intended by "this mind which was also in Christ Jesus." Well, since only God can know God and if we concede that Jesus knew or had Conscious Union with God, we have to conclude that "the mind that was in Christ Jesus" was the Mind and/or Consciousness of God knowing Itself in and through Jesus that was the "mind that was in Christ Jesus" – the Mind that we are advised to "Let Be" in ourselves.

2) "That was the true Light, which ligheth every man that cometh into the world." (John 1:9) Now what can the "True Light" that this particular Scripture is referring to other than the "Light of Conscious Awareness" in which we all "live, move and have our being," and without which there is "no thing to know and no one to know it. Same goes for the references that call us the "Light of the World" or "Children of the Light."
