Spiritual Development Through The Rainbow of Awareness and Consciousness
Consciousness is like a rainbow. The rainbow of awareness is a kaleidoscope of colors blending from one shade to another. Yet, many people live their entire lives in just three primary colors. There's much more to experience in life. See how to expand your awareness. The first step is to understand what we are. We are nothing but awareness and memory floating within a bandwidth of consciousness. This bandwidth is constantly changing, fragile, and energetic, expanding and contracting in relation to various stimuli.
How Consciousness Is Like a Rainbow
So, without the thread of consciousness, we cannot become aware. If we do not have awareness, we do not experience reality. The absence of experience means we cannot create memories. Finally, without memories, we have no identity, and we cease to exist without an identity. The colors of consciousness have an infinite number of shades. Yet most people use only the three primary colors: waking, sleeping, and dreaming. Thus, they miss a wide range of other possibilities. "The partitions of awareness and consciousness are not clearly defined lines. Consciousness is like a rainbow of colors harmonizing and changing from one to the next." ― Guru Tua We experience a range of awareness, but we overlook the subtle shifts. If we have a good night's sleep, we make better decisions. We shift between different states of consciousness. We transition between waking, sleeping, and dreaming states every day. Beyond the three default states, there are many other variations and levels. The partitions of awareness and consciousness include a wide range of options.
