Consciousness
Mapping
Lavida Rose
As a
child, I remember wondering if the world I saw and experienced, was the same
world that other people saw and experienced. I’ve come to know, it both is and
it isn’t. The variables that can be identified within that ‘zone’ are a measure
of the creative potential that exists in this world. At some point along
inception into this life experience we start generating a consciousness that
can be identified as our ‘own’. For descriptive purposes, it is the
consciousness that is the attractive force, predominantly present, around us.
What you experience and re-experience IS ‘your’ consciousness. It is not ALL of
consciousness. It is the consciousness that you have come to know and identify
with. And for that purpose, I will assign it with ownership. It helps with the
explanation. Our consciousness, which is
individual to us, is built on what we are exposed to and how we respond to that
exposure. From there we establish and pattern neural networks which path out a
consciousness, which is personal to us. There is no shame in what we were
exposed to nor in how we responded. They are bequests of pure sense-making
logic. The reality you live in is based on the consciousness that you have
cultivated as a result of the before mentioned factors. It is powerfully embedded
and deeply ingrained, yet it is not a fixed state. It is however, a default –
your default, your home base. The number of variables that can counter play
this default are endless. Your consciousness is, as unique to you as your
fingerprint. Whilst also simultaneously bearing the common features necessary
to qualify it. I.e. to be defined as a fingerprint. That is why generic
applications we commonly see in society have some efficacy but mostly miss the
congruence with your natural genius-genesis. If you are common enough, you will
fit and be relatively comfortable – if not, you will-likely experience pain (in
its many forms) due to the consequential experience of separation. Each of your
experiences and culminating interactions create a map, plotted out as sequences
of paths crossing, merging and diverging.
These maps are gorgeously complex but can be functionally simplified,
focused and organized. I also refer to this as your consciousness backdrop, it
is the scene that sets the ‘seeing’ and the cyclic-programmed experiences that
you more-than-likely, define as ‘your life’. Your consciousness map reveals how
and why things happen the way they do for you and what you need to adjust to
quantify a new outcome. The art and
science of mapping involves both calculation and observation of interactive
phenomena. In society, ‘statistics’ are a very apt measure of collective
consciousness; they are also a great example of how consciousness mapping can
be observed. Your map as-it-is {right
now} is your art, and it IS spectacular – it is a melody and montage of all
your doing and being BUT maybe when you stand back and look at it, you’ve
realized you weren’t really holding the brush or strumming that note and NOW,
you’d like to see and experience what it would be, if you did! Your art is
endlessly evolving –
Consciousness
mapping is an integral part of facilitating creative consciousness, and can be
found in both greater and lesser degrees in all the workshops, courses and
mentoring applications.
