Consciousness is understood by most people as being aware, but there is a lot more to consciousness than just being in a state of awareness. Consciousness is one of the hardest things to define because of its mysterious and metaphysical properties. At your current state of evolution, it is impossible for you to understand all the aspects of consciousness. However, you can still understand many of its different states by studying how it affects your perception and the structures of reality.
Is consciousness energy?
The simple definition of consciousness is that it is basically energy that is aware. How could that be you may ask? To understand how consciousness and energy are basically two of the same thing, you need to study the effects of particles. To help you comprehend this concept, we need to turn our attention to a famous scientific experiment done by a group of scientists at the Weizmann Institute in Israel. This famous experiment is known as the “double slit” experiment.
In the double slit experiment, scientists shot some electrons through two slits and discovered something strange about the properties of electrons. They found that electrons could simultaneously be in a wave and particle state. The strange thing about this experiment was that when the electrons were shot through the two slits without anyone watching them, they produced an interference pattern and became waves. When they were observed, they went through the slits as particles, causing the interference pattern to diminish. If you are confused, watch the following short video and it should help clear things up.
