Consciousness And Being

“Consciousness” is the attempted unity of the Subject (as Mind-Soul-Spirit) and the Object (as Body.) Consciousness mediates between the Spirit and the Body. I say “attempted” unity because we cannot have full consciousness until we evolve mind and body higher on the scale of consciousness. Full consciousness comes with the evolution to Godhood.

The “thing-in-itself” is described as:  mind-soul-spirit as the “thing,” and the body as the “in-itself.” The Supreme-Thing-In-Itself is Godhood. This means that Godhood has a Mind-Soul-Spirit and Body as we do only Godhood has evolved to the Zenith of these things-in-themselves.

This way the subjective and objective are one, with different evolutionary levels and divisions of mind-body consciousness.

Immanence and transcendence are defined by the Spirit within the body, with the Spirit transcending within the body by activating the body to evolve to higher and higher stages. The Spirit is the offspring of Godhood and has traveled through evolutionary life activating life since at least the birth of the Kosmos and is also in this sense transcendent.

All concepts make their way back to the body and spirit, which are material and supermaterial objects and not concepts. Concepts and mathematics can go anywhere but Being as Object is circumscribed by the reality of the object. Being is not everything that was, is or will be, Being is its own object at different levels of evolution. Concepts are non-Being.

Godhood is not “reduced” to nature, Godhood is nature evolved to its highest state. There is no Being that is lifeless, there are active evolutionary objects as Being.

I think this reshapes consciousness and Being in an original way, with gratitude for the work of many others in this area. This can be applied to Evolutionary Christianity.
