Imagine shapes dropping from the sky and each shape represents different types of heart. There is diamond, square, circle, rectangle, trapezoid, triangle and octagon. Lets describe each of these heart shapes according to personality or characters.
Diamond is after money, beauty and power.
Square is after balance, harmony and togetherness.
Circle is after structure, completeness and roundness.
Rectangle is order, search, and curiosity.
Trapezoid is chaos, complication, and creativity.
Triangle is curiosity, mystery, and intelligence.
Octagon is heaviness, carefulness, randomness.
We can add to our list as much as we want, we go through life experiencing events in various ways, we have an attitude towards life, this attitude to a large extent influences how we view the world around us. We have a world within us, we have a world outside us, and also we have a world created by us. We create shapes of our life, we can add to our life and we can also take some of the shapes out of our list. What we need to know is that our list is unique in the way that we create it and that is ok. We choose the shape of our heart and what it does at any given moment. We need to choose our shape with care and believe in ourselves. We have a lot to learn from ourselves through reflection. We drive our own life and therefore represent our hearts at any given moment. There is concept of thinking, feeling and our behaviour, but what drives these, we can say consciousness. But what is consciousness? Is it something we create, given to us?, or separate from us?
To answer the question of consciousness, lets think about function, what do we do? we move from one state of being to another, through this process we live. Now I think consciousness is creation, creation of this movement through our functions. These functions make us do things and to be, to life and to experience. They are not separate from us, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist without us, it only means they become apparent as part of our creations, our thoughts, our feelings and our behaviour. Therefore our shapes being our chosen functions are what drives us forward, and this is our consciousness, this is our driving force. As we learn more about ourselves, we experience more and explore we can have more shapes, functions or creations, and that is beauty of our life, being about to create a new world for ourselves.
