CONCIOUSNESS AS FOOD

ABSTRACT

If we load our consciousness with toxins and violence we should not be surprised by what occupies the driving seat of our life. If we fill our consciousness with nutriments that foster the energy of mindfulness, we can look forward to enjoying life with a different energy. The intricate connections between eight levels of consciousness are explored to bring home the reality that how we feed our consciousnesses, shapes our lives and destiny. I begin with the Buddha’s Son’s Flesh Sutra and end with a story about Two Wolves. The bottom line between these stories is awareness about the consequences of our consumption, so that we do not create internal violence to our systems - or to the systems we interconnect with.
