Consciousness is the ability to be aware of all existing form.
The understanding comes in a clear, sequential way.
It begins with receiving information of illusion being – through thinking and feeling.
Thinking takes place when one memorizes, organizes, analyzes, makes a decision, forms an intention from that information.
Afterwards, one’s consciousness acts on or reacts to that information.
When consciousness forms a clear impression from receiving, thinking, and acting, it then has developed what is known as awareness.
