Human Consciousness

To most people, the term "consciousness" is a term for Hippies. And while it tends to produce such a knee-jerk reaction, even for myself, understand it simply means "understanding who and what you are". Why is it important? . . . well unless you are aware of who and what you are, you wont recognize reality and the choices they have, and you will just accept and SUBMIT to the "system".

Putting it into context, a NON-self-aware person typically wakes up at 7am, has breakfast, drives to work in peak hour traffic, works all day, drives home in peak hour traffic, and arrives home exhausted, perhaps to pay some bills. Is this a life, or slavery? Was life really "not meant to be easy"? Or is there something seriously wrong with our society for this to be commonplace?

Whether you realize it or not, you have a CHOICE to live any way you want. You and you alone are in control. Sure you may have disadvantages in life. But you are still in full control of what you do.

I'm not suggesting you grab a spear and go live in the wilderness. I'm saying to be aware of your everyday choices. Some factors in life are out of control, but the vast majority are entirely up to you.

This section contains a variety of resources. I do not agree with 100% of the material, and neither will you. Some people will scoff at the mere mention of something like "people from other planets", whereas other people understand that with the immensity of the universe, to believe that we are the only intelligent beings in the universe would be ludicrous.

Nevertheless, what matters is the message that ultimatey leads you to the understanding of who you are, and that is far more important than anything. Exactly why it is so important may not be understood until you understand who and what you are.
