"RAISE THE BAR, JUST RAISE IT"

What is this thing about consciousness that wants you to experience it, how can one be conscious about consciousness and then measure it.

Well I can't physically go back in to childhood and say why I liked a particular flavor in an ice cream and what different did it offer me then the rest of the flavors.

Nor can I study a child and speculate how would his consciousness behave fifteen or twenty years from now.

Things are constantly changing, our understanding of space matter and time have newer definitions and they too are being challenged.

So what is about consciousness that wants you to take drugs , or meditate or do yoga or a tai-chi or set out on a journey to find it, become a mystic and go inwards or study different philosophies made available by minds before us.

Honestly no one knows a thing about it, claimants are plenty and they have their own brands, operating them like a strip joint where they sell their brand of consciousness.

The more you bring in the brain the more you talk of chemicals and networking and the only conclusion that comes about is that the brain may be always acting in response to a stimulus, and never on its own.

So brain is out but yet forms a big part of a study into consciousness.

Experience too wants us to look in to the consciousness every time we think this was something new, the minute you say new , you bring in the memory too in to play.

The five senses provide us with a lot of data, and sometimes one or two senses get entwined too, making us taste something that we touch or see.

I have dust allergy and if I see dust and am in a air tight room and dust happens to be outside that room I still start sneezing as if I did inhale it.

I ask aren't I conscious of the fact that I was in an another room and there was no way that any dust could enter my nose.

The mind the brain and the five senses working in tandem and our availability of a language to communicate gives birth to a word called consciousness , and if that is true where did the thousand suns came from or the light visuals that come from intake of LSD, or the loss of body consciousness due to high blood pressure come from. Maybe the drugs, meditation, yoga, and all other techniques offered by medical people(ANTI-ANXIETY PILLS), religious people, a disney land, or a strip joint or people from creative arts just alter the levels of blood pressure and make that different levels of consciousness a thing to be explored again and again.

Its a great feeling to experience a different level all the time.

As they say "RAISE THE BAR, JUST RAISE IT"
