A Cup of Coffee with God Part 7Awareness and Consciousness

(An Uncommon Imaginary Dialogue between God and Me)

Gan, Chennai

Posted on 13-June-2013; Modified on -

The whole Universe forms Inside your Head but You are inside the Universe

Me: Hi God! Happy to see you again!God: So also me.Me: I wish, I ask you something about Consciousnessand Awareness.

God: Sure! Go Ahead!M: Whats the difference between Awareness andConsciousness?


2/8

G: All words are mere pointers to something what wereally understand rather than what they really mean.There is a subtle difference between Awareness andConsciousness. Awareness is standstill and

Consciousness is Movement of the same entity knownas Self. Consciousness with zero content is

Awareness.

Awareness can be likened to be the witness in you,whereas Consciousness is the same witness having apersonal note in you. Awareness and Consciousnessare like inseparable Twins, but having different tunes.

Awareness has no time component, whereasConsciousness is time related. Awareness issomewhat an undefined state, consciousness a definedstate. Everything exists because it is aware of itsexistence. A rock exists because it is aware of itsstatusquo, but a rock need not be conscious.

When we are in deep sleep, we are still aware at a verysubtle level, even though the consciousness is switchedoff for the moment, or else, you will not regain yoursame identity while you wake up.

For example an atom, plant or ant may be aware butneed not be conscious (self conscious).Everything in the Universe is Aware, but not conscious.

More often Awareness and Consciousness are usedinterchangeably and have lost the real difference inusage. Hence, how we understand it is more importantthan what it really means.


3/8

M: What is Self then, in your definition?

G: There is only one Self. The multiple Selves what wesee as Animate and Inanimate are only illusions

created by the Mind.

When we go deep into matter we see only moleculesand Atoms. When we still go deep inside the atoms wesee Sub Atomic Particles like Quarks, Bosons, Leptonsetc. If we still go further inside, we find empty spaceand suddenly everything vanishes and resolves intopure energy.

At the quantum level everything exists as probabilitiesin the wave form, and becomes particles only whenconsciousness takes charge. So, consciousnesscreates matter (particles) from pure energy (waves).So, there is only one Self, which creates the entireUniverse. You, I and everything is part of the sameSelf. Self is the substratum and undercurrent of allthat exists.

M: Then, why do we see multiplicity of existential thingsand beings? Where does manifestation and separationoccur?G: Listen very carefully now. You can understand this

concept only if you are fully open minded and sharplyfocused into what I say.There is no Real difference between Reality andIllusion. All Reality can be proved as Illusion and Vice


4/8

Versa. Reality is a type of Illusion. Illusion is a type ofReality.For example, all of us are molecules and atoms. If you

consider this as Reality, our body and its solidity is onlyan illusion. If you go deep inside the atoms, it becomespure energy. Then atoms are illusions and energy isonly reality. At one level of appearance, atom is areality and at a deeper level atom is only an illusion.

M: Then what exactly is Really Real or Absolutely

Real?G: The Absolute Reality is the all pervadingAwareness aka Consciousness only. AwarenessConsciousness is the only irreducible thing from whereall manifestations occur. You are that pure AwarenessConsciousness and not the Atoms, Cells, Tissues andbodily parts. That which is Irreducible is the only

Absolute Reality. That is Awareness Consciousness.Everything is that. You are also that.M: There is the I feeling. There are people. There aredogs and cats. There are rocks and sand. Are they oneand the same?G: I will explain the schema of manifestation. Now,take up a dream. There is only one self.. That is You.

But, still you create multiple persons inside your dream.You create neighbors, friends, relatives, trees, plants,roads, buildings , universe etc in your dream. They arenot separate from you. But, still you create separateentities within your own self. How does it becomepossible?


5/8

Real world adopts similar Algorithm, Procedure andLogic but in a different plane and dimensions.

In walking world the dream is somewhat real and thedream is tangible. The dream is also continuous. Butthis dream is different natured.

The one Self dreams and creates the whole Universeand its contents inside it. There are no multipleSelves. In fact, there is no personal I. The personal Iis an illusion and is just manifestation of Ego, the false

Self

M: You mean to say that the whole Universe what wesee and feel, including me, my wife, children,neighbors, car, bungalow, etc are mere dreams?G: You may call the Dream as Reality. Reality itselfis one type of Dream and Dream itself is one type of

Reality. As and when you exist in that plane that willseem to be real. This is highly paradoxical andinevitable.M: Then there is Brain, the Hardware that senses

everything. Is Brain my own imagination?

G: Here you have to understand the schema ofexistence using Quantum Physics. Consciousness

arises from brain. But, brains itself is matter. All Matterarises from consciousness and is subject to the laws ofquantum physics. It becomes a viscous circle likeChicken and Egg.


6/8

Looking deeply, you will find that Brain itself resolvesinto a non existent conglomeration of energy. So, Yourentire body, including the brain itself is an Imagination,rather called Concept. You are a Concept created by

the Awareness Consciousness in its Dream. So also, allthat exists around you are created by the same

Awareness Consciousness. Ultimately, you and yourneighbor, dogs and cats are nothing but the same youin a different form and name. Ultimately everything isthe one and the same Awareness Consciousness.Everything is that. You are also that.

M: What is the Proof that my own feeling of I as aseparate person is just an illusion?G: Imagine you are playing the video game MortalCombat. Assume the animated character Ryu isinjected with Consciousness and Ryu gets the feeling ofI. If you tell Ryu that he is merely an animation doneby an expert programmer, Ryu will stoutly refuse it. Ryu

will raise his arm and say, Is my body imagination, Isthe grass around me imagination, and Is the street I amwalking an imagination? Ryu will always say that he isreal.

M: What if, when I feel separation?

G: Separation leads to Cognitive Dissonance. Thereare different scales of Cognitive Dissonance. The lower

the scale the least the conflicts within the self andaround us. It is something like poking your own eyeswith your fingers. All separation is illusory and theHigher your evolution, the least is CognitiveDissonance. More the separation more the frustration,dread, guilt, anger, embarrassment, anxiety, etc


7/8

M: What is the solution for overcoming separation?

G: One should thoroughly not only understand but alsorealize that separation is mind created illusion. Theentire universe is a single living organism. In realityeverything is the same Awareness Consciousnessexhibiting a drama called Life. Just only oneconsciousness is dreaming. All persons are dreamcharacters. There are no two persons. There is noseparate I

You exist only as a concept in the drama. Just simplyabsorb this Truth and laugh your way to a happy living.

M: What is your final Advice for Humanity?

G: The whole universe is merely Information, similar to0 and 1 in computers. A whole computer merely

operates on 0 and 1, even though we are unaware ofit. All reality is cleverly conceived Algorithms run by

Awareness Consciousness. The whole Universe ismerely a different type of Computer Simulation, aHologram on a different Matrix.During every minute of your waking consciousness,remind yourself that this is merely an illusive drama and

make sure not to be carried away too much. Simply tryto do your level best as you can. You can not avoid theillusion of reality. Bring down your CognitiveDissonance. Just simply smile and carry on with yourworks understanding that reality is merely an illusionalbeit a persistent one.


8/8

M : Thank You God for all the information ! I love you somuch!
