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 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 Social Sciences

The study of how groups of conscious beings collectively shape each other's inner experiences through culture, language, and the simple act of being together. It examines why laughter is contagious, why crowds develop a shared mood, and why being alone in a room full of people feels different from actually being alone. It's the field that asks: if consciousness is private, how do we manage to synchronize it so effectively at concerts, protests, and awkward family dinners? The answer seems to be something like "vibes," which is not a scientific term but is apparently accurate.
Example: "A consciousness social sciences study observed that when one person in a meeting yawned, the entire room would follow within 90 seconds. This unconscious synchronization suggested that despite their individual private awarenesses, the group was operating as a single, slightly bored, collective consciousness. The researchers then yawned and went to lunch."

Consciousness Sociology

The specific analysis of group behavior among beings who are all, individually, aware that they are aware, leading to strange social dynamics like "pretending to listen while thinking about lunch" and "the collective pretense that we're not all going to die." It explores how groups develop shared illusions (like "this meeting is productive"), how social rituals create temporary alterations in collective awareness (like the moment of silence before a concert starts), and why humans are the only species that gathers in large numbers to watch other humans pretend to be people they're not (theater, movies, politics).
Example: "At the company-wide town hall, a fascinating example of consciousness sociology occurred. Everyone in the room knew the CEO's optimistic projections were fiction, and the CEO knew they knew, and they knew he knew they knew. Yet everyone collectively pretended to believe, creating a shared layer of meta-awareness that no one acknowledged but everyone experienced. It was consciousness stacked upon consciousness, and it was exhausting."

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."*
