==consciousnessConsciousness==
The faculty of being aware of anything through identification. The Divine Consciousness is not only aware but knows and effects. To be aware of a vibration, for instance, does not mean that you know everything about it.
 
 
Consciousness is not only power of awareness of self and things, it is or has also a dynamic and creative energy. It can determine its own reactions or abstain from reactions; it can not only answer to forces, but create or put out from itself forces. Consciousness is cit but also cit śakti.
 
 
Consciousness is usually identified with mind, but mental consciousness is only the human range. There are ranges of consciousness above and below the human range, with which the normal human has no contact and they seem to it unconscious, -supramental or overmental and submental ranges.
 
 
By consciousness is meant something which is essentially the same throughout but variable in status, condition and operation, in which in some grades or conditions the activities we call consciousness exist either in a suppressed or an unorganised or a differently organised state.
  It is not composed of parts, it is fundamental to being and itself formulates any parts it chooses to manifest, developing them from above downward by a progressive coming down from spiritual levels towards involution in matter or formulating them in an upward working in the front by what we call evolution. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/dict/mppandit/CONSCIOUSNESS:</ref>
