Consciousness 

Hey! Look at that! Morgue was right! Bow down and worship him! And not me him but... Wait, no. Don't worship him. Worship me. Always worship me. And don't don't worship me Hym but don't worship him him. I mean it!
Hym "Hey, look! The Hoffman guy says the same thing about consciousness that Morgue says! But I doubt we'll all be laughing becuase ya'll are talking a lot of shit."

Consciousness 

Winston is literally the concept of consciousness.

Consciousness Elemental - con·scious·ness el·e·men·tal 

1) An invisible, non-solid, energy form with movement and purpose. Created by both unconscious and conscious concentrated thought and engagement of emotions. 2) A second dimensional, emotionally charged vibration. A self-sustained, active, thought form that invisibility moves in the atmosphere. 3) Conscious intent that pulls and attracts the same frequencies of its intention, creating an energetic vortex that expands and gains speed & power similar to a

tornado in the invisible realm of energy creation. 4) Thought believed to be real. 5) Repetitive intentional and unintentional thoughts that prompt human emotions, words, actions to manifest realities.

- Depending on the intention and continued amount of focus, the Consciousness Elemental can cover vast areas of time and space, influencing all of the human minds, consciousness, energy and matter within its force field.

Consciousness Philosophy

The branch of thought that grapples with the "hard problem" of why there is subjective experience at all. Why isn't the universe just unconscious matter following physical laws? Why is there "something it's like" to be a bat, a human, or possibly a very advanced AI? Consciousness philosophy asks whether a perfect simulation of a mind would actually feel like anything, whether colors exist in the world or just in your head, and whether you can be certain that anyone else is conscious or if they're all just very convincing philosophical zombies. It's the field that makes you suspicious of everyone, including yourself.
Example: "Lying in bed, he entered a state of consciousness philosophy. 'I am aware that I am aware,' he thought. 'But am I aware that I am aware that I am aware? And if so, does that awareness have a color? And if it does, is that color the same for everyone, or am I alone in a universe of private qualia?' He then became aware that he needed to pee and the philosophy ended."

Consciousness Technologies

The tools and techniques designed to alter, expand, or monitor your state of awareness, ranging from ancient meditation practices to modern brain-zapping headbands. This includes float tanks (expensive baths in the dark), psychedelics (illegal but effective), and meditation apps that guide you to mindfulness while also tracking your screen time. The paradox of consciousness technologies is that the more gadgets you use to "find yourself," the further you drift from the simple awareness that was there all along, usually while checking your phone.
Consciousness Technologies Example: "He bought a $400 consciousness technology headband that promised to induce deep meditative states. After a month, he'd achieved a state of profound relaxation while simultaneously feeling intense anxiety about whether the headband was working. He concluded that this contradiction was the meditation."

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."*

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."
