What is Consciousness?

Featured Philosophy, Yoga Philosophy

Dr. Deepak Chopra and Dr. Hareesh Wallis discuss the nature of Consciousness as explained in the ancient text The Recognition Sutras. As Dr. Wallis explains, “Consciousness engages in this divine act of creation, preservation, dissolution, concealment, revelation. Consciousness conceals to itself that it is the author of all its experiences. Consciousness pretends that it is not, in fact, the author. It experiences this longing to know the truth and then reveals that truth to itself.”
