The term "awareness or high conscience" is often used by people with spiritual thinking to describe important mental states that are difficult to reach.

All sages, whether from Hindus, Christian monks, and ascetic Buddhists, speak of reaching moments of "high awareness" - through meditation, through chants, fasting, or pilgrimage.

Unfortunately, the way in which these spiritual people are discussing states of high awareness is that they have a tendency to place many secular patterns on the edge of the abyss. Everything can seem insane, paranoid, sensitive and annoying. So what is the point of religious leaders in the truth?

We sympathize with such frustrations, rather than by nature, which are particularly attracted to the mysterious. However, it seems that the idea of ​​higher consciousness (conscience) is indeed a very exciting idea and has nothing to do with its spiritual nature, and it can be defined simply enough in a logical and strictly secular sense.

This is how we see it: As human beings, we spend most of our lives running states of weak consciousness, where what matters most to us is ourselves, our survival and our success.

Normal life rewards superficial, unexplained and self-justified practical superficiality which are the hallmarks of what we might call "less" consciousness. Neuroscientists talk about a "lower" part of the brain they call a crawling mind and tell us that it is under its influence, we respond to the appetite of conflict and we attack at any shock or situation, so we blame others, we suppress the mindless questions that lack relevance to the topic, we fail to merge with the partner or companion and prefer to stick Closely liked pictures of self about who we are and where we are heading.

However, there are rare moments, when there are no threats or demands on us, perhaps late at night or early in the morning, when our bodies and the passion we hold are in a state of calm and comfort, then we have the privilege to be able to access the centers of the mind Supreme - or what neuroscientists call the cerebral cortex, the seat of imagination, sympathy and neutral judgment. We try to calm him and ease our attachment to Balana or pride, and try to rise to a less biased and more comprehensive perspective, and try to get rid of a little anxiety and self-justification prickly pride.

In such cases, the mind transcends its own interests and desires. We start thinking about other people in a more creative and innovative way. Instead of criticism and attack, we are free to imagine that their behavior is being driven by pressures drawn from their most primitive minds, so that they are generally not in a position to tell us about them. We see their nerves or malice as symptoms of harm instead of seeing them as "evil."

It is an amazing gradual development to develop the ability to explain the behavior of others through their suffering, better in terms of how it affects us. We know that an appropriate response to humanity is not fear, ridicule, or aggression, but always - when we can deal with it - is love.

In such moments, the world reveals itself as completely different: it is a place of suffering and misguided effort, full of people who struggle to hear their voice and launch a violent attack against others, but it is also considered a place of tenderness, tenderness, longing, beauty and touching human weakness . So the appropriate response is compassion and compassion.

A person's life feels less valuable that one can think that one will not be able to achieve reassurance, by putting one's interests aside and merging creatively with transient or natural things: trees, winds, moths, clouds, or waves crashing into a beach.

From this point of view, the situation is not considered a thing, property does not matter, and grievances lose their importance. If certain people manage to confront us at this point, they may feel surprised by our new transformation, generosity, and compassion.

The highest states of awareness and awareness, of course, are short-term. In no case should we aspire to make it permanent, because they do not stay well with the many important practical tasks that we all need to do. But we must make the most of it when it happens, and work to harvest its ideas when we need it most.

Consciousness or higher awareness is a great victory over the primitive mind, which none of these possibilities can be imagined or imagined. Ideally, we will be full of life about the merits of this high mind and we will strive to make our surrounding experiences somewhat less random and not be overshadowed by unnecessary ambiguity
