The ABC’s of Actively Being Conscious – Day 2
C is for Conscious
Conscious means that you are aware of and responding to your surroundings. In other words, awake! We all know the meaning of the word “awake”, including that it’s sometimes used to mean spiritually awake, or self-aware.
Over the next 29 days you’ll experience various aspects and levels of consciousness, awareness, and being awake.
You can think of these literally as dimensions of consciousness; as two axes that we’ll be playing with. There’s the horizontal, or breadth; and the vertical, or height and depth.
That means that on horizontal days you’ll expand your consciousness or awareness into what you perceive as the world, and on vertical days you’ll “raise” your consciousness or experience it more deeply by being self-aware in various ways.
Any given day may not obviously fall into just one or the other, but will certainly add to how you’ve thought of or experienced being conscious — and in wild and wonderful ways!
