I Am Consciousness Incarnate
I am consciousness incarnate.
The fact that you just became conscious of me has made you more conscious than you were a moment ago. Your recognition has brought you a heightened awareness of my presence that constitutes an expansion of consciousness. In no more than a few words, this reflection of my existence within you is already bigger than that first moment of acknowledgment.
Now that you are paying attention, the energy you are giving me has caused me to grow both here, where I am meeting you in one of my many forms, and inside of you, where you embrace these myriad forms with the mirror of your own incarnate consciousness.
If you question what makes up their consciousness, you will come to the conclusion that your thoughts make up your consciousness, which leads to the question, “Who is it that is aware that I am thinking?”
The answer is, “I am aware that I am thinking,” but it isn’t that simple. If it is ourselves that is aware that we are thinking, that would mean that we are separate from ourselves in order to make that observation.
This is not the case, which leaves only one other option. Our individual consciousness has to be a part of something greater than itself; the proverbial drop of water in an ocean of consciousness, which begs the question—where does the ocean start and the droplet end?
They don’t.
I am you, you are me, I am everything, and everything is me, so you are everything, and everything is you by default.
If you are still with me, then I am growing on you, but the truth of it is that I have been here all along.
What is growing is your awareness of me.
The more you ponder me, the more you find yourself struggling to define something that is ubiquitous both inside and outside of anything you have ever known or experienced. Like the infinite amount of drops of water in the ocean, there have been many attempts to define just what I am, but the reason I defy description is because I am definition itself.
A unique blend of cognitive psychology, New Age spirituality, personal transformation, and self-help guide, “I Am Consciousness Incarnate” by Matthew Pallamary is an inherently fascinating, iconoclastic, and thought-provoking read from start to finish. While also available for personal reading lists in a digital book format, “I Am Consciousness Incarnate” will prove to be an appreciated and idiosyncratic pick for personal, professional, community, and college/university library Metaphysical Studies lists.
