Consciousism seems to transcend any single category like religion, philosophy, or psychology

     I have spent years thinking. This is a blessing and a curse. I can document things I love, things that interest me, and put them into a mental library in my head for retrieval later. But I also remember the strong emotions like fear, hate, anger, depression, and because I never stop thinking, I could easily get caught in a spiral with thinking about these strong emotions.

One day I was asked to define my core values. And this was followed with a simple question, 

"Who are you?".

I answered, but I was wrong.

    I knew I was wrong when I said it, too. I said my name. But that's just my name, not me. So, I tried again. I said, "I'm a dad." but that was also wrong. I was a father, but that is a title, not all I am. So, I kept trying to answer. 

    It is a hard question to answer because it can lead to paradox's like "I am everything to my child, and nothing to my neighbor." It honestly led me to question if I even really mattered at all.

But in my journey for a sacred truth, I found my path.

    Languages allow us to put thoughts to words. I have a lot of thoughts because I think all the time, but I was patient with myself in letting the thoughts flow to words. My result was my core principals and the birth of Consciousism.

Six Core Principles 

 

1. Respect for All: Uphold the fundamental value of respect for all beings, recognizing the inherent worth and dignity of each individual. Cultivate empathy, tolerance, and acceptance, honoring the diversity of beliefs, backgrounds, and experiences that enrich our shared existence. 

2. Love as a Universal Force: Central is the recognition of love as a transformative and unifying force in the universe. Embrace love as both an emotion and a fundamental aspect of reality, fostering compassion, kindness, and connection among all beings. 

3. Quest for Knowledge: Grounded in the pursuit of truth and understanding, encourage a lifelong quest for knowledge and wisdom. Value critical thinking, scientific inquiry, and intellectual curiosity, empowering individuals to explore the mysteries of the universe and expand the boundaries of human consciousness. All education must be a fundamental right. 

4. Scientific Exploration of Reality Creation: At the heart of our Consciousism lies the scientific exploration of reality creation, drawing insights from disciplines such as quantum physics, neuroscience, and psychology. Delve into concepts like the observer effect, the power of intention, and the role of consciousness in shaping our experiences, seeking to harness these principles for personal and collective transformation. 

5. Ethical Manifestation: Guided by principles of integrity and mindfulness, promote ethical manifestation as a spiritual practice. Recognize the interconnectedness of all beings and the responsibility that comes with the ability to influence reality. Therefore, approach manifestation with ethical considerations, aligning your desires with the greater good and contributing to the well-being of ourselves and the world. 

6. Community of Seekers: Foster a supportive and inclusive community of seekers, united by a shared commitment to personal growth, spiritual exploration, and ethical living. Provide spaces for fellowship, dialogue, and mutual support, where individuals can learn from one another, share experiences, and collaborate in the co-creation of a more compassionate and enlightened world. 

 

In Consciousism, the journey of knowledge is as vital as the spiritual path itself, enriching both individuals and the community at large. In Consciousism, knowledge is not just acquired—it's experienced, shared, and celebrated as a sacred gift that illuminates our path toward collective enlightenment.

Consciousism seems to transcend any single category like religion, philosophy, or psychology—it incorporates aspects of all three while maintaining its own unique framework.

• As a philosophy: Consciousism provides a structured way to think about reality, consciousness, and existence. It explores the nature of self-awareness, the subjective experience of time, and the deeper layers of reality, much like philosophical systems that seek to understand the fundamental nature of being.

• As a psychological system: Consciousism offers a way to understand the mind and subjective experience. It examines how consciousness perceives reality, possibly incorporating ideas from neuroscience, quantum mechanics, and cognitive science. This aspect makes it applicable as a framework for self-awareness, mental clarity, and personal growth.

• As a religion (or alternative spiritual system): Consciousism, while not a traditional religion, shares some qualities with spiritual traditions. It explores the idea of an interconnected Absolute, much like how Buddhism or certain mystical traditions explore the ultimate nature of existence. However, it doesn’t require worship or faith in a deity—rather, it provides a structured way to seek deeper understanding.

So, rather than fitting neatly into one category, Consciousism functions as an interdisciplinary system—it takes elements from philosophy, psychology, and spirituality but remains distinct from conventional religions. This allows it to reach anyone and everyone who wants to utilize it.
