“ Our greatest human adventure is the evolution of consciousness. We are in this life to enlarge the soul, liberate the spirit, and light up the brain.”
~ Tom Robbins
What color is consciousness? Does it have a texture? Is it something that you can see, touch, hold, or even describe? When it comes to something as ineffable as consciousness, is it possible to even put our finger on it?
One might say that some people are born with a higher level of it, but that would be to assume that we aren’t all born with the same spark, which is a dangerous assumption, indeed.
Consciousness is amorphous in many ways. It can expand and overlap far beyond the individual. Families, romantic partnerships, businesses, groups, and organizations can all find themselves functioning along a shared baseline of consciousness.
One might say that consciousness rubs off on us in a way. If we are to assume that we enter this world as tabula rasa, then consciousness is shaped as we mature.
We are influenced at every moment by our environment in our formative years, for better or worse. From the family unit to national customs, we learn how the world works from our own point of view and how it is we will engage with it.
