I think if you look through what has been written over just the past year
or so you will probably get an answer to almost any question about
consciousness. You can look them up, here, on Alan’s NR site:

And if that does not do it, the words attributed to Jesus, Loa Tzu,
Buddha, Patanjali, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, the Eckhart Tolle in the
'Power of Now' - and on and on and on.

Maybe not the answers you want, but they may be the answer you need to
hear - and integrate into your life. All roughly the same: Be Here Now.

For instance, please take a look at just a few recent remarks from people:
>"I still create a great deal of friction with the world inside and outside."
>"I am on the path of being, but I find myself engaging in subtle forms of self-sabotage.”
>”I am in a destructive relationship."
>”I keep forgetting to keep consciousness as my priority.”

Even better than all the wise sources of wisdom given above,
the best and most complete answer I know is contained in this clip:
