Consciousness doesn’t have awareness and certainly cannot exercise control over Presence.
However,
Presence has awareness and does exercise control overview consciousness.
These are non sequiturs.
Consciousness IS awareness. The whole point of consciousness is to exercise control over one's presence in reality.
However, for you, everything is infused with a deity dreamed up in Middle East during the Iron Age, which you carefully refer to as PRESENCE. Is all of reality infused with intelligence? Some think so. However, this idea is what is known as SPECULATION. Thus, you have no reasonable justification for repeated slurs attacks against scientists and the scientific method.
You need to find some humility and accept that you know MUCH less about consciousness than researchers who have spent their working lives studying and working with the phenomenon. You are not a super genius who can, with some quick study of some stuff online, surpass those who have done decades of work in the field. It's perhaps nice for you to imagine so, but that would simply be the Dunning-Kruger effect in action.
Consciousness is not awarenessThey are different.
There are 2 types of consciousness manual and autopilot.Presence is either aware or unaware of this.
Presence is neither, but “toggles” between these 2 consciousness states in awareness or unawareness all the time..
This isn’t open for conjecture,this is fact.
Presence,if aware, is able to change the consciousness states.
PRESENCE can go inward and PRESENCE can bring oneself back back out again from the inward consciousness state.
It’s mainstream secular scientists who need to learn humility.They can learn it the easy way or the hard way.
The stuff I post is practical.Individuals will know that what I post is true because they will be able to put it into practice.
More than 2 sorts of consciousness. There are waking awareness, dreaming C, hallucinating C, dreamless sleep C. Maybe more for all I know. The sort of C correlates with the neurochemicals that are active at the time.
During some of these states of C you are present to yourself: others not so.
There is a 3-D graph available that shows the suggested or probable location of the C on axes of the several neurochemicals.
As Sy Borg wrote, the so-called death of God is a subjective state . It's the psychological crisis when when you realise that your future, including your belief system, is in your own hands, not God's.
This cognition arises during waking awareness and may pervade dreams and hallucinations as well.
Waking awareness may be focused or unfocused. Some people believe thoughts arrive willynilly , always. This is simply not true. People can learn to discipline and focus their thoughts without much difficulty. When you do science you are focusing your thought: when you ruminate you are not focusing your thought. Don't confuse pointless rumination with creative imagination!
