The word consciousness seems to be a word that is fashionable in the spirituality arena. A basic word that is supposed to encompass all but also ill understood. Some people equate consciousness with awareness. I would say they are more the cause and effect. As an entry, the simplest analogy is that of electricity and the brightness or lumen level of a light bulb, with consciousness being the electrical current and awareness being the illumination. Hence the higher the consciousness, the greater the awareness. That's it. Not anything mystical, but pure awareness.
Well this is at least a start, but as we progress along the path you may realise one day that consciousness is beyond what words can express as it is also beyond matter, time and space. Just BE, and how can we ascribe any interpretation to anything that is beyond what we can comprehend in this reality?
