Developing Our Consciousness

Episode summary:

Developing consciousness is a complex and multifaceted topic that spans various fields, including philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, and spirituality. It involves the exploration of self-awareness, understanding one's thoughts and emotions, and cultivating a deeper understanding of the nature of existence.

Consciousness is the capacity of individuals to deal with reality. The more complex the reality, the more need for a conscious approach.

The purpose of consciousness, at an operational level, is to ensure that the difference between what an individual thinks or says about reality and the real facts is minimal.

In today’s world reality is being questioned every day. As a society we need to face the ever-growing list of problems head-on if we want to make change by understanding the many factors that have contributed to the issues and realizing that a one-size-fits-all approach will no longer work as the world has changed.
