I apologise for mistakes in text.
The sentence: Human consciousness isn’t one complex whole but consists of different levels.* suppose to be: 
Human conscious isn’t compact whole but consists of different levels.

How we experience ourselves depends how we experience everything outside us.
And how we experience ourselves depends with what level of unconscious our conscious interact.*
How we experience our subjective conscious (individuality) in interaction with  objective consciousness or something outside ourselves depends with what level of unconscious (feelings) our conscious interact.]]></description>

Human consciousness isn’t one complex whole but consists of different levels. Although those levels are results of interaction of consciousness with body they enable us to think or make choices. If we have no different levels of consciousness we will be not able to think or make different choices or reactions but our reaction would be all the time the same.

Physical dimension is active dimension. That activity is based on complementary opposites in interaction. First opposite in human consciousness is conscious-unconscious. 
What are they and how they manifests?

Conscious is mind or activity of consciousness what manifests as constant activity or thinking, because it has “appearance” of consciousness. It is constant process trough what we achieve understanding and development in this realm. 

Unconscious are feelings or intensity of consciousness. They are force or power beyond thoughts. They are unity of consciousness. Thoughts or activity of consciousness are expansion or individualisation of that unity. (Activity is possible only in diversion).

Unconscious also consists of two opposites and they are: subconscious (something as Freud id what is closely connected with body ) and above conscious what is our essential (authentic) self. All what we can directly know in this existence are ourselves. Trough us we experience everything around us. How we experience ourselves depends how we experience everything outside us.

And how we experience ourselves depends with what level of unconscious our conscious interact.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Although my English is limited, my mind is not :) so I decide to join in this discussion. Since I know for myself I am obsessed with mystery of existence. That is the reason why I for many years intensively search that topic.

Physical existence or dimension of form (matter and energy) are projections of formless, essential dimension of consciousness.
They are complementary opposites in interaction. Mind is product of that interaction so both laws can function trough it. Mystery of existence lie in consciousness. Since consciousness has no form (appearance) it stays out of touch for science. Science can analyse existence only trough appearance or matter and energy. On that way science never can have essential answer.

Religion, philosophy and science are all different aspects of human consciousness. In order that we can understand it we must include all those aspects. They just have appearance of differences, but they came from absolutely same source. Brain is just instrument what enables consciousness to interact with physical dimension. I extensively explain that on my blog, although in Serbian language.]]></description>

No- I would not believe that...

What I &quot;understand&quot; now, is that my spouse, is not mine-Rather he is another beautiful idea of God appearing, and that God created life to share and give of it&#039;s own being in Joy---]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We are all ideas of God...

We are all God&#039;s manifestations


Man(generically termed) is God&#039;s thought appearing


How wonderful when a man knows this for certain-  as he then knows all men are of the One in which he is also, it is easy then to love all men, all life.

Now I know why those first two commandments work so hand and hand together---

To love your neighbor as yourself is to know God is all....and when You love God with all your heart mind and soul, you just can&#039;t help but to love your neighbor as yourself]]></description>

Another thought came to mind.  If mind/consciousness is a process, what then does spontaneity mean?  Or how is it that let&#039;s say when Christ healed he did not go through a process, rather he just knew what man already was and is, in the One Mind of God-  In fact Christ would say thank you before the manifestation of a thing appeared, for he knew in his awareness, what ever he asked for was already done-

Mrs Eddy once stated that Man is God&#039;s reflection, needing no cultivation, but ever beautiful and complete....

Yet the idea of a process going on does certainly seem to be so....Maybe process simply means God, the One Mind individualized is living through us, and as us all...and human being just have a need to call it a process----

I am open for further enlightenment on this .....]]></description>
