WHO AM I - AN ORDINARY CONSCIOUSNESS

If today I sit and think about WHO AM I -  starting from the day I was born - I really feel

SAD.

I was born as a consciousness TO GROW but what am I today?

At birth the normal assumption is that the ordinary state of consciousness is natural
or given to me by default. A more accurate conceptualization would be that my ordinary

consciousness is semi arbitrary constructed because I am born as a human being with

certain kind of body and nervous system operating in this environment of earth. I begin
my life with potential access to the wide spectrum of human potentialities which
 included learning of different languages, formats, cultures, knowledge, to travel in the

altered state of consciousness, enhance our paranormal abilities etc.. Though I get a

set back due to the genetic limitations but the cultural limitations imposes on ME are

of greater risk.

I am not born and raised in isolation but as a member of a particular culture. 

A culture is something that

a) has decided that certain human potential are good so cultivate them.

b) has decided that certain human potential are bad so block them.

c) is ignorant of the other vast number of human capabilities and potential and thus

fail to develop them due to disuse.

As an infant there are number of human potentials available when my parents start the
enculturing process, many potentialities remain latent to be explored and learned later

but some are totally blocked due to point (b) as stated above. But if I see I could have

learned that non-mother tongue language much easier and faster when I was an infant if

it was a part of my cultural growth.

Out of the vast set of potentialities that I was born with TODAY when i have passed my

childhood and adulthood are relatively small. I am a beneficiary of my culture selection

in term of my strength.

I function reasonably well within the consensus reality defined by the culture but very

poorly outside the culture boundaries.

I emphasize that the state of my consciousness in adulthood is semi arbitrary as I must

all have the minimum survival qualities in term of the physical world but since most of

my life is now spent in the conscious reality of our social world, which reality varies

hugely across cultures...this is very arbitrary.

The higher paranormal functions is largely residing among the latent potentials rather

than among the conscious developed in the culture. Most of us though born with the

higher consciousness... higher abilities cannot use them on will as they fall in the

point (c) as stated above.

If I see this enculturation process has built a large number of semi arbitrary

psychological structures which act as barriers beyond which it is difficult to venture,

thus I am  tied in the barrier of language, skills, emotional reactions etc.

As said it is difficult to venture outside these boundaries but it is not impossible even

though when at adulthood the conscious structure is defined and shaped. We need to show

some inner strength to break these boundaries and move towards the higher horizon.

If you are a parent of a young child you know where to start your OWN PROGRESS of

CONSCIOUSNESS.
