The Term of "Consciousness?"


Regarding “consciousness,” my understanding of human consciousness is that it is like a huge formless container. It can become any forms and interact with other consciousness freely. Also, it always exists within us at every moment and everywhere. Even though we fall asleep, our consciousness embraces us gently. In that sense, our consciousness is like a vast amorphous vessel. 

Moreover, consciousness itself doesn’t have any meanings. Our consciousness is always “subject” not “object.” More strictly, it may be an essential base of the “subject.” All of our feelings, emotions, sensations, and thoughts arise from our consciousness, but our consciousness is not our feelings, emotions, sensations, and thoughts. All of them are our “subjective experiences.” Our subjective experiences are not our consciousness, but our consciousness creates them. Therefore, the term of “consciousness” is beyond our subjective experiences, and it may be “something” encompasses our existence.
