Q&A: I was recently asked

I recently posted the following for Eckhart Tolle, "Your primary purpose is to enable  to flow into what you do," and I was asked the following:


Q. Interesting. Do you think consciousness in itself is primary or is it merely primary for us?


A. What's happening? or How are you doing? are typical questions we are asked. It shows our interest in happenings and actions. Actions are either dead or alive in relation to their connectedness with consciousness. Consciousness or Awareness is life itself, you and I are life. We don't have a life, we Are life! It's not my consciousness or your consciousness, it's just consciousness. If we tap into that consciousness we become alive and until we do so we are dead on some level. We may be alive on a mental level since the mind thinks but is limited in its thinking to the past or future, but consciousness is something that is, something that is NOW. Think of it as space, the XYZW coordinates where happenings take place. In reality this consciousness is Gods awareness of Himself. Consciousness is in itself primary because it's the ultimate reality: All besides God (in reality) is perishing. We are simply manifestations of His attributes, and one of those attributes is the acts of, or creations of God. At the same time, consciousness is not just primary for us, but in light of the aforementioned, it IS us, not in a way where we R God, but in a way that is incomprehensible to our minds but experientially possible to our beings when we tap into IT, since by tapping into it we are enabled.
