consciousness[kon-shuhs-nis] Origin con·scious·ness /ˈkɒnʃəsnɪs/ Show Spelled[kon-shuhs-nis] Show IPA
noun
1. the state of being conscious; awareness of one's own existence, sensations, thoughts, surroundings, etc.
2. the thoughts and feelings, collectively, of an individual or of an aggregate of people: the moral consciousness of a nation.
3. full activity of the mind and senses, as in waking life: to regain consciousness after fainting.
4. awareness of something for what it is; internal knowledge: consciousness of wrongdoing.
5. concern, interest, or acute awareness: class consciousness.
Unless you take a step further and insist that the spirit is seperate from consciousness and a being in and of itself. Then we're really speaking to 2 people at once.. and that's called something else.... .
I dont think that is what he is saying. I think I understand what he is saying now. He is going along with the gnostic concept of "soul" which really means "experience". To them the Soul is everything, and not anchored in any single thing. The soul is everything and anything that is experienced in the cosmos. this is what they mean by an "immortal soul" in the sense that past experiences can never be wiped away by anyone but a God.
What he is talking about is interaction of everything with everything in the cosmos.
