Thank you so much for this exploration of words! I always found it funny that we use the word unconscious for the physical state of not being aware of this world. I realised again how we need the diversity of descriptions for this inexplicable state in order for many more to have the A-Ha moment. Gary Zukav describes this as multisensory I guess and I simply go with: we are Love and Love is our essence. Yet Love is in the same way like consciousness a word dressed up in lots of different layers of meanings. Lately I am learning that the secret seems to be to feel and experience this world in the moment as Being Conscious in it. I love to play with words too and I realized that this often let's me get stuck in theoretical concepts rather than feeling my way through this journey of life. The desperate outcry of "I know all this but it doesn't seem to apply" has its mere root in that we have to live it as opposed to know it. We have to Now it. 😉
"the secret seems to be to feel and experience this world in the moment as Being Conscious in it" ~ I totally agree. But what does that mean?
Many have written and spoken about Being Consciousness, I believe, at all ages. We know that the Vedic science of mind is all about Being Consciousness. Many great minds have discovered this 'secret' since...
It seems to me that every generation needs to discover it anew for themselves, not least because our expressions of Being Consciousness have changed so much. And then we still have to discover it for ourselves, individually.
"We have to Now it," as you say (great phrase❣️)
The knowledge of Being Consciousness is one thing. Living it in mundane everyday situations is quite another.
(In case you haven't noticed yet, in this substack called 'Symbiopædia' I am exploring language as our symbiont for living a human life.
In a parallel substack (only just started this year) called 'Synchronosophy' I am writing about precisely this question:::
"How can we live Being Consciousness in the trenches, through the troughs, and over the hurdles of everyday life?")
I look forward to continuing our conversation. Thank you for being here, Sadhbh, and for sharing your Being Consciousness through your writings 💖🙏
I really like how your mind works (or maybe better stated - how it assimilates symbols and patterns within the field and actualizes them coherently into a brand new unique expression).
As you know the true meaning of words is always in their vibrational origin, and we've left out much of their essence in the layers and layers of complexity over the millennia as you've well pointed out.
The ingenius way you are taking the deeper roots of the current language we're using to impart (create) more evolved and symbiotic expression is seen and appreciated.
Yes, my mind works in mysterious ways, drawing from many different disciplines of exploration, including plenty of co-incidental real life experience, weaving them together in a unique tapestry, often surprising myself... a very fun way of writing.
Very much appreciating your reading and commentary!
Yes. Yes. Yes! Consciousness as a term in english is like love used so many different ways! We are consciousness! Awareness is that knowing. This lens is a threshold to Being. I will bathe in this simply incredible writing that connects the dots! I will read this 100X! Thank you! 🙇🏻♂️🙏❤️
When doing my final edits of this text last night, I was very impressed myself. I kept thinking, "did I really write this? This rings so true!" I don't know where it's coming from....
We all know where it's coming from. I recently read in Janet Conors incredible book Soul Vows that she made the realisation that everything she does is the universe expressing herself through her, in her, as her. From now on all my affirmations will include this.
Incomplete? Only because it never could be, but short of that it's an earful. To wrap it all up in one package of us being consciousness and coming from it as different from having consciousness, Brian Swimme is my favorite storyteller of the new creation story we need, post Hubble, where science has shown us we are one humanity, evolving together, and not rugged individualists climbing over one another on a dead rock here for our use.

Thank you Suzanne! I read some posts on your Substack yesterday. Love your work!
"we are one humanity, evolving together, and not rugged individualists climbing over one another on a dead rock here for our use." ~ Absolutely.
This is what I'm writing about too, through the lens of language, and our symbiotic relationship. This Substack ~ Symbiopædia) ~ is dedicated to nurturing a new language in alignment with the Symbiocene.
Lovely to connect, and I'm excited about your campaign.
I subscribed. I haven't been able to find people here on Substack who are aligned with what I write about, how we-the-people can go beyond electing Democrats to get us where we need to go to thrive, let alone to survive, ad your voice seemed like a fit with mine! Love to get pointed at any others you know about.
I subscribed to yours too. I know, writing can feel like a long lonesome journey sometimes. In my experience this is a natural growth process. It might look like not much is happening for a while (i.e. not many people aligned) and all of a sudden several doors open simultaneously. Happy to recommend your posts and share your campaign.
The idea that we are consciousness (BC), rather than mere 'have' consciousness (hc), has such huge implications. No wonder we need a new language. And you are doing a brilliant job at it.
The notion of 'subduing Nature and making her our slave' (Francis Bacon, 1561-1626) stems from the 'hc' mindset and its destructiveness is now plain for all to see. The momentum of this unholy attitude is deeply structured into our (western) culture, including in its many institutions and the technologies that are developed (or not developed).
In every civilisation that is going through a degenerative phase, there are always those who see clearly and carry forward the seed of new life, a new dawn, a new and better way of living with one another, and on this precious planet of ours. Your work with Synchronosophy and The Symbiopaedia is so much a part of this vital pioneering journey. 💜

on the other hand, I do, of course...💖🙏
We all know where it's coming from. I recently read in Janet Conors incredible book Soul Vows that she made the realisation that everything she does is the universe expressing herself through her, in her, as her. From now on all my affirmations will include this.
I might have to check out Janet Conor's Soul Vows. Thank you for the tip
I haven't read your comment before writing mine, seems like we've hinted towards the same. 😅😁❤️

Not so much lonesome as singular. I have a mailing list that's on my wavelength, but I haven't found other Substackers. Point me to any you've found.
I love that dang Carl Jung!
