Consciousness Sciences

The interdisciplinary field that attempts to study the one thing you can't put under a microscope: the subjective experience of being alive. It's the science of why red looks red, why music gives you chills, and why there's "something it's like" to be you. Consciousness sciences bring together neuroscientists who look at brain scans, philosophers who ask "yes, but why?", and mystics who just smile enigmatically. After decades of research, the field has conclusively proven that consciousness exists and that nobody has the faintest idea how.
Example: "He spent his career in consciousness sciences trying to locate the seat of self-awareness in the brain. He found lots of correlated neural activity but no actual 'self.' His final paper concluded that he, as a researcher, might also be an illusion, which made writing the paper complicated."

Consciousness Engineering

The ambitious practice of trying to redesign your own subjective experience, essentially attempting to rewire the software of your soul. It's the project of eliminating bad habits, installing new mental patterns, and debugging the emotional glitches that keep crashing your happiness. The problem is that the engineer is also the system being engineered, leading to paradoxes like "I'm trying to force myself to be more accepting" and "I'm aggressively meditating on patience." Most consciousness engineering projects result in the same system, running the same code, but now with a fancy new name.
*Example: "She attempted some consciousness engineering to become a 'morning person.' She bought a smart alarm, installed wake-up lights, and programmed affirmations. Her engineered consciousness now woke up at 5 AM, fully aware that it was supposed to feel great, but secretly longing for the sweet oblivion of 9 AM. The engineering had created a more sophisticated form of suffering."*

Hawkin’s Map Of Consciousness 

The map is a scale from 1-1000 LOC with different human behaviours and perceptions about Life and God based on each of the 17 levels of human consciousness and associated energy field matrix. The map of consciousness was developed by Dr David Hawkins via kinesiology (muscle testing).The levels of consciousness go as low as the pits of hell on earth (which is shame, 50 LOC) to heaven on earth AKA enlightenment 600-1000 LOC.

Humans range from 0 to 1000 on earth and angels can go beyond 1000 LOC with GOD the Creator at Infinity. The reason Humans can’t go past 1000 LOC is because the nervous system cannot handle that much power. Jesus Christ & Buddha both were at level 1000 at their death.
Student: How do I become enlightened Doc?
Spiritual Guru: While a lot of people think “enlightenment” is a singular state of mind that you either “have” or do not have, it’s actually much more of a journey from lower to higher states, which can be determined by consciousness calibration muscle testing and the hawkin’s map of consciousness

Asscrack Consciousness 

The natural ability to feel when ones asscrack is exposed to the public.
I felt wind between the valleys when I bent over to pick up the fork. Thank Goodness my asscrack consciousness kicked in so that I could cover up. Had it remained exposed, Stacy's parents would have seen my asscrack.

Stream of Consciousness 

1. The tendency of the human mind to inadvertently jump from one subject to another.
2. A literary device that is used to follow the occurring thoughts of a character.
-They started talking about politics, but because of the stream of consciousness, they were talking about their favorite flavors of ice cream by the end of the discussion.

Ironic consciousness 

Irony at the level of consciousness. Self-actualized consciousness counterposed to its own existence. Consciousness as a self-actualized linearization of time that originates from cyclical time origins. Inability of consciousness to consciously traverse linear time due to the very nature of its existence.
Ironic consciousness means we cannot travel backwards in time.

Stream of Consciousness 

A form of speech where the person speaking dumps all their thoughts out unfiltered, unedited and completely.
"I went to see my mom yesterday and she would not stop talking. She just kept going on and on about EVERY thought she had. I was drowning in the stream of consciousness she threw at me for an hour."
