and specificity of communication to attain highest goals of wellness and success of excellence.

I am attempting to present a short explanation of this element of –I-Mortality’ of higher consciousness here and shall elaborate it in details in later chapters for deeper understanding. Here I confine the explanation of this element in relation to media and communication aspect only. Though, the issue has deeper significance, which we shall discuss later.

In our discussion over the realism of consciousness, we have talked about how it has different layers of unconscious, subconscious, conscious and higher consciousness. We have also accepted that all layers are part expressions of the singular holism of consciousness and they exist in cooperative entanglement bound by causalities. Therefore, it is very tough to have a defined clear cut divide between our conscious and subconscious. However, when we say that our conscious self must be aware enough to have an audience with subconscious and then communicate with it, we presuppose that the two layers can stand segregated. But this is never possible.

This is what presents as big challenge for us. Both spiritualism and science accept that ‘Objectivity’ is an impossibility for we humans as even when we stand in utmost higher consciousness, there shall always be grains of subconscious and unconscious entrenched in it. The causalities between these layers shall remain ingrained. It is like; the ‘objectivity’ itself can be seen, realized and deciphered by none other but our own ‘subjective’ self. Naturally, subjective sense cannot fully be detached and segregated from any objectivity enterprise. It is here this ‘I-Mortality’ element of higher consciousness helps attain optimality.

The basic premise is that usually, a person is a subjective expression of his or her own body-mind milieus and the media of his or her memories of experiences. It is because of the very nature of evolution of consciousness, which we have already discussed. This subjective expression, this sense of me or ‘I’, as unique and differentiated to all others is a property of ‘Entropy-Expansion’ that essentially is the way we have been designed. However, for logical, objective and reasoned out thoughts, beliefs, emotions and behavior, we all have to undergo a process of ‘Entropy-Suppression’, as we grow, mature and as our media and communication pathways have enough critical mass of experiences.

However, this entropy-suppression is no segregated function. The higher consciousness or what we understand as higher awareness; has to do it but it is very much an inseparable ‘part’ of the ‘holism’ of consciousness. In other words, it is the ‘I’ that checks and controls the stupidities and conflict-confusion of ‘I’. This is the dualism that is defining property of our consciousness and it is not easy to get over it. But the fact remains that empowerment is not possible if we do not rise above the dualism and master the artistry of our higher consciousness, which itself is only ‘part’ of our singular consciousness, managing and optimizing other parts.

We shall elaborate this dualism in later chapters but here our task at hand is to explain as how ‘I-Mortality’ element can help us rise above this dualism. There is a simple explanation that classical spiritualism provided, which shall help us understand the core process, even while we have all the reasons to believe that it stands on some hypothesis, which may not be tenable today. The classical spiritualism accepted that body is mortal and consciousness is immortal. The body, which is just the media of all ‘Karma’ has a ‘Lord’ and this is our consciousness, which is transcendental and immortal. This is classical body-soul segregation.

What we take from it is that it is this primary reality of mortality that is biggest subconscious tool for rising above the dualism. We do not have to accept this classical hypothesis of consciousness (soul) being immortal and re-installable in another birth. We are not concerned about it here. What we take out of this is that mortality is a subconscious wiring, which is an entrenched facility for consciousness to build a successful enterprise on. Our body is discontinuous and mortal is always in subconscious awareness, whatever we do. It is a reality that cannot be wished away. However, what soul-hypothesis facilitates for us is segregation of two parts and making them distinct. This helps us rise above dualism.

We all need to consciously take out his mortality element from subconscious and install it in our conscious mind states. As we practice enough and successfully pervade our higher consciousness with this central and cardinal realism that our body, the so-called protagonist is only a temporary media, we facilitate greater objectivity. The very pervaded consciousness that our body-mind is mortal, segregates ‘us’ from it. As we practice it, we shall feel that there is a growing ‘detachment’ of conscious self from our body-mind media. This happens because we cannot happily accept that ‘I’ can wither away. Gradually, there is a higher consciousness cover that makes us feel that the Real ‘I’ is not our body-mind and this media is only temporary and therefore inferior. Our subconscious is designed to never accept discontinuity of self or ‘I’. Therefore, conscious acceptance of mortality shall gradually make us detach from our body-mind media. This is what facilitates a consciousness position, which classical spiritualism called ‘Witness-I’ and science refers to as ‘Non-Local Consciousness’.

What we are trying to hypothesize that this element of conscious mortality facilitates a consciousness, which stands as continuous ‘Witness’ to whatever our mortal and wavering body-mind media is doing. His happens because our higher consciousness is able to ‘detach’ itself in a long way with body-mind subconscious media and communication as it cannot accept something that is mortal and discontinuous as part of self or ‘I’. So, what the higher consciousness is able to do by pervading the ‘I-mortality’ realism throughout its awareness plexus is attain this segregated ‘Witness-I’ consciousness. This in turn facilitates a better objectivity and logicality. When a ‘Detached-I’ is standing above as witness to everything the subconscious and mortal body-mind media is doing, this protagonist is better placed to have higher objectivity, logicality and reasoned assessments. This is the idealism we all must have because then only we can launch a ‘Conscious-Enterprise’ Of ‘I-Media Management’ For Life-Living Wellness and Excellence.

As we come to conclude the talk about consciousness, its media and communication, we can sum up this long discussion into a small wisdom. This wisdom has three simple points that we need to remember –

Our body-mind has a mechanism and process. Science has unraveled good bit of it and evolving the knowledge every day. We all must be fully aware about them and keep updated so that we have a consciousness, which is more objective, logical and singularly in sync with all others. Consciousness is at the core of all cognitions and therefore, we must have deep knowledge of the holism of the idea of consciousness.

There are unseen and embedded rules of causalities that are infinite. Every realism is a function of some causality and therefore, to have a better understanding of reality, we need to understand as much causalities as possible. On this depends our wellness and excellence.

All causalities that create a realism are function of some form of communication. Every particle of the cosmos is in communication with other and this plexus of communication shapes up reality. It is only natural that a communication must have media. Every empowered person therefore should ideally be consciously aware of media and communication within self and outside.

We have discussed consciousness and causality in this book to understand the idea of media and communication. In the next part of the book, there are chapters about those issues, which we encountered in course of earlier chapters, about which I had said we shall discuss later. These chapters are optional but recommended so that you could have more detailed understanding of what we have discussed so far. As we were focused on the core element of media and communication, I had consciously chosen not to divert our attention away from it by going into these topics. As you shall read them, you can relate them to the media and communication aspect of our discussion.

Thanks for patiently being with me this far. Wish you all best in live and living. May you all have more empowered consciousness and great success in handling your media well with excellent and specific communication to attain whatever life-living wellness and success goals you have consciously chosen for you. Thanks!

PART TWO

CHAPTER 1

Understanding Consciousness In Detail

Science maintains that the conscious feeling that we all have is primarily because we have an evolved and matured process of storing experiences as memories, with a definitive sense of we as our bodies present in all such memories. These memories in which the subject is definitively our own body, creates a sense of self-awareness in our brains. This we refer to as knowledge. This needs to be understood very carefully. Knowledge is not information, our sensory organs collect and pass on to our brains for processing. Knowledge is the ‘processed’ info as physical imagery in brains, which goes through the filters of mind’s memories of experiences, instinctive inclinations as well as those collective experiences, passed onto us from our ambient culture.

We have awareness that ‘we’ are experiencing something. We also have memories of other experiences of our past. More importantly, we have a definitive and exclusive mental facility of recalling, relating and collating all past imageries of experiences and imagining a novel imagery of possible model action and behavior for future. This facility of intra-polation and extra-polation of imageries in our knowledge inventory has been a decisive tool with us, helping humans produce brilliant solutions of innumerable troubles and problems. However, we need to accept the fact that this facility itself also doubles up as a major trouble for us. Imagining and extrapolating singular and objective real facts can lead to tested and replicable solutions but in situations, when the collated facts are virtual, subjective and mystical, solutions arrived at shall be subjective, untenable and non-replicable. We can design futuristic spacecrafts as we collate and juxtapose objective, tested and replicable facts of aerodynamics and navigation. However, we fail to create futuristic solutions to our emotional and psychological troubles, like those in the realm of love, faith, culture etc, as we collate only subjective, virtual and non-replicable facts. This we have to be wary of and change our attitudes and perspectives to use our consciousnesses for attaining the objectivity and singularity of decision-making matrices.

Also, the ‘knowledge’ ascribed to and installed in subconscious for all future references of experiences are in a way cause of trouble too. This makes the case that our higher consciousness must be equipped with aware requirement of ‘Unlearning’ for continuous updating. Why?

Suppose I have an injured finger. There is inflammation and if I press or even touch it, pain surges up and I feel troubled. Why? Simply because my subconscious mind state, which handles my auto-mode action-reaction based on reward-punishment assessment, has entrenched ‘Knowledge’ of pain and my natural reactions to it. If I say, ‘pain is not what it actually is but because of the ‘Knowledge’ of pain that I have’, an average person shall feel confused and never believe it. But, it is a reality. This is what cognitive science tells us. To prove it, what I have to do is be in calm and relaxed state of mind. Change my brain waves to meditative state and consciously repeat to myself that the pain I am feeling is not actual but just a ‘memory’ of the ‘Knowledge’ of pain that I have subconsciously assigned to my being. This I am going to change and ‘unlearn’. Therefore, I am going to meet the ‘pain’ in new light and have an audience with it from a new and fresh perspective. I shall focus it right there to ‘unlearn’ my past knowledge and face it anew.

After practicing this conscious resolve for a good one
