Today I want to get into something which is probably a great deal simpler than we make it out to be - the differences between thought, thinking and consciousness. All these three things are different from one another. Thought is in itself just like mind, it is space. Thinking is action and activity, and is not space, but is based on energy. Consciousness is environmental, all around us, and can be taken to be awareness or that out of which energy manifests itself.
You see this is where we get to the enigma or riddle of consciousness. We have different words for what is actually consciousness - life, love, truth, beauty, awareness, empathy, connection, insight - yet you understand the difference between all these things, and yet they are all consciousness. As they are all consciousness, there is no way you can explain such things, rationalize them, understand them, or do anything other than accept them for what they are and appear to be for you as an individual.
What makes this so much of a riddle or an enigma is that we cannot tell the difference between what is space and what is consciousness. You see the mind is space, and thought is space. Space is what defines relationship, because everything is connected through space. Existence is based on relationship, as is life, as is the mind, as is thought. This becomes somewhat more complex when we understand that space not only defines relationship, it also defines reality. If something exists in space, and you can perceive it, then what you can perceive has to have some kind of reality, right?
