โญWe all have heard the words "๐–˜๐–”๐–š๐–‘" "๐–˜๐–•๐–Ž๐–—๐–Ž๐–™" "๐–‡๐–Š๐–Ž๐–“๐–Œ" and "๐–ˆ๐–”๐–“๐–˜๐–ˆ๐–Ž๐–”๐–š๐–˜๐–“๐–Š๐–˜๐–˜" all of which by the way, points to the same entity that is ๐•–๐•ฅ๐•–๐•ฃ๐•Ÿ๐•’๐•๐•๐•ช ๐•”๐• ๐•Ÿ๐•ค๐•”๐•š๐• ๐•ฆ๐•ค... Now, as we say "eternally conscious" then the question is "what is the soul conscious about?"


The answer is that the ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ (๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ฎ๐ฌ) ๐ข๐ฌ ๐œ๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐œ๐ข๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐š๐›๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ฌ๐ž๐ฅ๐Ÿ. 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 ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐๐จ๐ž๐ซ and ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐จ๐›๐ฌ๐ž๐ซ๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ. A simple way of explaining is "Take away everything that I HAVE...and what remains is what I AM."

It is understood even by the ancient sages that consciousness is what remains as the "๐Ÿ๐ข๐ง๐š๐ฅ ๐จ๐›๐ฌ๐ž๐ซ๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ" after we take away the body, the mind, the intellect, and all our thoughts & beliefs... What finally remains is "๐š๐ฐ๐š๐ซ๐ž๐ง๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ" that I EXIST.


๐ŸThere 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.

How to expand consciousness?

Answer:

๐ŸŒฟThere are many ways/paths a soul can take to elevate or say "expand" its consciousness... ๐…๐จ๐ซ ๐ž๐ฑ๐š๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ž: ๐˜–๐˜ถ๐˜ณ ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ด๐˜ค๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ด๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ด ๐˜ฆ๐˜น๐˜ฑ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ๐˜ด ๐˜ธ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฆ๐˜น๐˜ฑ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ค๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ. 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, ๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก๐ญ๐ฌ & ๐š๐œ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ ๐š๐ซ๐ž ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐œ๐ž๐ ๐Ÿ๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ก๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ-๐ฌ๐ž๐š๐ญ๐ž๐ ๐œ๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐œ๐ข๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ง๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ. So BE AWARE of your-self... In every moment of life.


๐ŸŒณ๐„๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ฒ ๐๐ž๐œ๐ข๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง you make should be made with the "๐šŠ๐š ๐šŠ๐š›๐šŽ๐š—๐šŽ๐šœ๐šœ" that I AM AN ETERNAL SOUL (not a physical body made of matter). When i am aware of being a SOUL, ๐ข ๐œ๐š๐ง๐ง๐จ๐ญ ๐ก๐š๐ซ๐ฆ ๐จ๐ซ ๐œ๐š๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ž ๐ญ๐จ ๐ก๐š๐ซ๐ฆ any other being. Because we all are eternal part of ONE consciousness. WE ARE ALL ONE... and we have ๐šœ๐š™๐š’๐š›๐š’๐š๐šž๐šŠ๐š• ๐š•๐š˜๐šŸ๐šŽ for each other.


โ˜๏ธUnderstanding this alone can help you make your life more meaningful and an enjoyable experience.

When we say "soul consciousness" we simply mean that "i am AWARE of the self being "๐šŠ ๐š™๐š˜๐š’๐š—๐š ๐š˜๐š ๐šŒ๐š˜๐š—๐šœ๐šŒ๐š’๐š˜๐šž๐šœ๐š—๐šŽ๐šœ๐šœ" or a "๐š™๐š˜๐š’๐š—๐š ๐š˜๐š ๐š•๐š’๐š๐š‘๐š" who is experiencing life, doing karma through this body. Living in this awareness is called soul consciousness.

When we forget & become body-conscious... ๐Œ๐ž๐š๐ง๐ข๐ง๐  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.
