โญWe all have heard the words "๐๐๐๐" "๐๐๐๐๐๐" "๐๐๐๐๐" and "๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐" all of which by the way, points to the same entity that is ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฃ๐๐๐๐๐ช ๐๐ ๐๐ค๐๐๐ ๐ฆ๐ค... Now, as we say "eternally conscious" then the question is "what is the soul conscious about?"
The answer is that the ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ (๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐จ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฌ) ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐๐ข๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ฅ๐. The fact that we can THINK, CHOOSE, ACT, and EXPERIENCE proves that we are actually conscious of all those four doings. They are the doings of the soul. The soul is both ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐จ๐๐ซ and ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐จ๐๐ฌ๐๐ซ๐ฏ๐๐ซ. A simple way of explaining is "Take away everything that I HAVE...and what remains is what I AM."
๐๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฐ๐ถ๐ผ๐๐๐ป๐ฒ๐๐
It is understood even by the ancient sages that consciousness is what remains as the "๐๐ข๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐จ๐๐ฌ๐๐ซ๐ฏ๐๐ซ" after we take away the body, the mind, the intellect, and all our thoughts & beliefs... What finally remains is "๐๐ฐ๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ" that I EXIST.
๐There is no reason, no cause of what is the eternal truth. The SOUL is that eternal truth. God exisit always. We exist always. There was no time when you and me were not, and there shall be no such time.
โถ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐: Whatever you do, however you act, is sourced from the "consciousness" of your soul. When our consciousness is high/pure, we naturally perform virtuous karma. ๐๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ข๐ฌ: We display our ๐ค๐ก๐๐ฃ๐๐ฅ๐ฆ๐๐ ๐ข๐ฆ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ค (๐ง๐๐ฃ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐๐ค) in every thought we create, every word we speak & every action we perform.
Tip: We highly recommend you this beautiful documentary on WHO WE ARE (Awakening) by Anthony Chene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AeOfYAJJ8o&list=PLCATdvkgqUV2-P92Xyxv9g1A1hsnFNqjR&index=2ย (save/bookmark this link to watch later)
How to expand consciousness?
Answer:
๐ฟThere are many ways/paths a soul can take to elevate or say "expand" its consciousness... ๐ ๐จ๐ซ ๐๐ฑ๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐: ๐๐ถ๐ณ ๐ด๐ต๐ข๐ต๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ด๐ค๐ช๐ฐ๐ถ๐ด๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด ๐ฆ๐น๐ฑ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ด ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐ธ๐ฆ ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ฆ๐น๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ช๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ค๐ฆ๐ฅ. The more "knowledge" we gain, the more our consciousness expand... and the more it expand, the better decisions/choices we make, the better life we create. Indirectly, ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก๐ญ๐ฌ & ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐๐ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ก๐ข๐ ๐ก๐๐ฌ๐ญ-๐ฌ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐๐ข๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ. So BE AWARE of your-self... In every moment of life.
๐ณ๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฒ ๐๐๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง you make should be made with the "๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐" that I AM AN ETERNAL SOUL (not a physical body made of matter). When i am aware of being a SOUL, ๐ข ๐๐๐ง๐ง๐จ๐ญ ๐ก๐๐ซ๐ฆ ๐จ๐ซ ๐๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ก๐๐ซ๐ฆ any other being. Because we all are eternal part of ONE consciousness. WE ARE ALL ONE... and we have ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ for each other.
โ๏ธUnderstanding this alone can help you make your life more meaningful and an enjoyable experience.

๐ฆ๐ผ๐๐น-๐๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฐ๐ถ๐ผ๐๐๐ป๐ฒ๐๐
When we say "soul consciousness" we simply mean that "i am AWARE of the self being "๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐" or a "๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐" who is experiencing life, doing karma through this body. Living in this awareness is called soul consciousness.
โ๏ธAnd the other ๐๐จ๐๐ฒ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐๐ข๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ is simply when we forget the self...and falsely identify the self with our physical body. When we forget & become body-conscious... ๐๐๐๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ that we begin to act with "body-consciousness", then the vices of lust, anger, greed, ego & attachment slowly comes in life. God has now come and reminded us the truth we forgot.
