Mind - Consciousness Relationship

25/02/2009
According to my understanding, following are the components of consciousness:
a) awareness - all pervading, present at all times
b) memory - memory, which keeps track of each and every experience.
c) ordinary mind - is created when an experience arises
d) power of creator - FC has the power/mechanism to illuminate the experiences held in mind by giving a physical body to the experiences encapsulated in mind.
e) providing 'energy' to the manifestation so that it is able to carry out its tasks.
f) observer status - this is created as a result of ordinary mind coming into existence. FC keeps an 'observer' status in the manifest state. It allows ordinary mind to gain the experience it wants, without interfering. However, when the ordinary mind consents to merge with the all pervading awareness, then FC only works for the manifestation instead of ordinary mind. When a person reaches enlightenment, s/he actually gains the experience of being the one in all and all in one.
For FC, the 'awareness' status and 'memory' status is always there (memory is there because of awareness only). For the purpose of manifestation, FC illuminates the experience by creating a body associated with the mind in question. It takes a back seat by holding on to the 'observer' status for a particular experience.
This ordinary mind also stores data in memory locations. For a particular experience, there are basic attributes as well as derived attributes (which are a result of manifestation interacting with other manifestations in this world). This means for each basic attributes (planned attributes) in memory location of mind, there are derived attributes (actual results), which are located in memory locations corresponding to the basic/planned attributes. These derived attributes, when go uncontrolled, there is a major shift from 'what is' or the basic attributes of a particular manifestation. Here problem arises. The derived attributes keep on multiplying endlessly and the manifestation is not able to experience them in the incarnation in question. Due to mind's attachment to these derived attributes and forgetting of its 'composite' status, it is not able to dissolve itself in FC after leaving the body. This is also a reason for dark for thriving and this increases the chances of manifestation being ensared by dark minds or dark force after leaving the body as well as in the body. FC allows mind to rule the body and its mechanisms for a particular experience, so that it is fully experienced and mind has no other desire left.
After being incarnated, mind gets an impression of being separated from its roots as it is 'free' to choose its options and there is a limitation in its knowing its own true nature, of which it is a part. Here, there are two possibilites:
i) mind gets an impression that it is the only truth and gets attached to experiences of a particular incarnation. It forgets its 'all pervading' status. Such mind is not able to properly coordinate the energy, awareness with itself as well as the body and is prone to illness (both mental and physical. Such mind falls trap into karmic incarnations. This is because at the time of leaving the body, mind is not able to dissolve or dispose off iteself and its temporary experiences, which have anyways been recorded it its own larger whole - the FC. Here, it stays undissolved. But it does have access to information stored in FC. But power of mind is limited as its not getting a regular energy flow from FC. Ordinary lost minds have no energy at all in this state. But dieties and deemed gods etc, who are worshipped by live manifestations ooze out energy from these manifestations and use it for their selfish dark purposes. These energised dark minds can highlight experiences of the other lost minds using this available energy.
ii) mind keeps itself alligned with its basic attributes ie 'what is'. As a result, there is no wastage of energy on the derived experiences. Due to this, it is able to better coordinate the awareness and energy aspects between itself and the body. Such an incarnation normally stays healthy. The mind, because of its not drifting away, has the capacity of dissolving itself into all pervading awareness (FC) and incarnation reaches enlightenment. Even when mind leaves body for good, it disposes itself off into FC and there are no further incarnations.
