Perceptual Consciousness

PERCEPTUAL CONSCIOUSNESS

Is it a perceived danger in the scent of night 
air that triggers a message to my brain of 
reminiscent horrors or is there imminent danger?

Is there an underlying reality perceived by itself or 
does the conscious mind first perceive itself or
only a representation of the true reality?

It is possible that consciousness is measured by specific
reactions to inputs or are those reactions reproduced 
as we construct the required responses.

Is consciousness our awareness of ourselves and our 
environment but more critically does it bring pertinent 
information, with enough time to reflect and plan. 

Is it incorrect to assume that the brain creates 
consciousness existing out in the world or are our 
brains tapping into perception rather than creating it?

The problem of consciousness is unlike any other problem
because it is not observable. We are unable to look inside
someone's head to see their feelings or experiences.

Is it the brain that produces consciousness; or only
filters it?  Consequently, does the brain make logic of 
these processes, and that’s why we perceive them as is?

Why can’t all living beings perceive danger in time
to protect themselves in a manner within which
to experience the least amount of suffering?

While I witnessed the pathetic animal lying dead I 
wonder why our consciousness does not prevent
us from plunging head on into irreversible peril.  

Each person’s consciousness is unique.  Is our
consciousness what defines how we interact 
with the dimensions we maintain at present?

Is the highest consciousness attained through the
immutable laws of God by being of utmost personal 
service to others in our spiritual and moral growth.

It is believed that basic kindness and positive energy
raises your psyche.  Is consciousness on some level 
about the emanation of love to others?

Why is it so difficult to embody feelings affirmed by 
your personal power and the authenticity in helping 
others to complete their soul’s journey?

Consequently, what is most complicated is the true 
healing essential to the soul’s passage raising you
to the highest level which remains only with GOD!

Why at different stages in life does our consciousness
vary so greatly, so much so that we are unable to 
decipher an accurate or inaccurate counteraction?

Can we ever attain the sincerity and goodness according
to the Laws of GOD wherein it is no longer necessary to 
worry about our consciousness perceived or otherwise?

Is perception a sympathetic understanding or insight
and what exactly is the correct explanation of each,
Will we leave this life ever knowing?

When existential fear overcomes us, is it due to a
past rooted in violence, verbal degradation, due to
the crimes against us or just a conscious warning?

Is our existence lost in the chaos of life? 
There so many questions, but insufficient
time or freedom to discover the answers!
