Consciousness

Each one of us interacts with our environment and engages with our fellow beings at different levels based on our level of consciousness, which translates as our realisation or understanding of life. While we all are conscious of ourselves having a body, a human form, identified by our name, some of us are also conscious of our internal faculties, our emotions, thoughts, feelings etc. This consciousness allows them to witness or observe their thoughts and emotions, giving them the power to respond to a life situation compassionately. The depth at which we understand ourselves is the level at which we can understand another being. A person stuck at his body consciousness level reacts to situations. He is ignorant of what happens within him and fails to realise that he has at his disposal the choice to respond differently, with which comes the power to control the outcome.

On the other hand, a person who connects with other beings at a level beyond his body, is more inclined to go on an inward journey enquiring more about himself, asking the question ‘who am I’. This journey of seeking raises his consciousness into realising deeper realms such as his breath, his mind, his intellect and his SELF. The realisation of SELF happens when one exists/be (Sat) as consciousness(chit) that leads to his natural state of ananda(bliss). He realises the ultimate truth that Sat-Chit-Ananda is the foundation from which manifests everything that we see as the world. The journey involves constant learning, following various disciplines and practices, deep contemplation and meditation. In the process he realises his SELF and eventually merges with the all pervading, eternal, immutable, attributeless pure consciousness or awareness. At the BEING foundation, we guide people towards BEING Chit(Consciousness).
