CONSCIOUSNESS WORK
Consciousness is defined as the ground out of which all phenomena occur. The experience of consciousness is differentiated by ‘structures of consciousness’. Structures are organizations of consciousness into forms. Consciousness is thus experienced in varying degrees of directness, completeness, and intensity via varying structures of consciousness. The more differentiated the structure is the less ‘conscious’ the experience is. ‘Consciousness work’ involves practices which direct one’s attention to consciousness itself for the purpose of realizing consciousness as an ontological reality.
