Data
DATA = factual information (such as measurements or statistics) used as a basis for reasoning, discussion, or calculation; information in digital form that can be transmitted or processed
QUESTION: Do you know that data and consciousness are not the same?
STORY: Well, here is a story! Your life story and my life story are different and every human life is constructed by three kinds of data. DATA #1: Phylogenetic information is imprinted within us at the moment of our conception. It is our genetic (DNA) and it creates the color of our hair and skin and eyes, the shape of our hands and nose and toes, plus the instincts of crying, sucking, swallowing and lots more. DATA #2: Ontogenetic information is what we each experience after we are born - with parents and family and friends. These experiences unconsciously and mechanically construct our beliefs, our choices, our decisions as well as our prejudices, allegiances, ignorance and inhibitions. DATA #3: I AM is our True Innate, Essential Self / SOUL which is our changeless, formless, timeless Beingness. Beingness is Consciousness. Until we shine the light of CONSCIOUSNESS into the unconscious vault of our memories, we unconsciously are stuck with these beliefs in our everyday life, kinda like a puppet on a string. If you are interested in being more than a puppet on a string - wake up to your True Self. Learn more at my upcoming class: https://www.drawingtogether.com/translation-class
QUOTES
“Maybe stories are just data with a SOUL.” ~ Brene Brown
“Everyone lives in the basement of a 4 story house unaware of their higher capacities as Consciousness. Everyone needs to wake up.” ~ Gurdjieff
“Consciousness is the elemental life force in all sentient beings - the I AM sense of Being.” ~ Red Hawk
“Due to early training, we give God a body. In hymns and sermons we say, I walk with God. He leads me by the hand. This implies God has arms and hands with which he can hold, restrain or lead physical man. These ideas are wrong. We never think of numbers or principles in this way. God is simply the capacity to create and govern thought, located in us as consciousness.” ~ Thane
