Consciousness is the causative factor relative to its own existence. There is nothing in existence that can make an individual conscious but his own act of being conscious. That means consciousness never evolves . Thus, in reality, when one is conscious, he is fully conscious with nothing missing and nowhere to evolve. In the beginning, however, consciousness sought to operate within the lost matrix of the bicameral mind, that is, consciousness made the entire inventory of brain-stored information emulate the dominant hemisphere of the bicameral mind.
Consciousness operating in the emulated bicameral modality is perceptivity-centered consciousness.
It is when consciousness developed a sufficiently integrated conceptual knowledge internally that consciousness made the shift from the subjective to the objective and became aware of reality, objective and in essence abstract. Consciousness operating in the context of abstract and objective reality is conceptuality-centered consciousness. Reality in the final analysis , reality in a fully integrated epistemological context , is abstraction. It is the aggregate of abstract principles that are completely independent of any particular observer and his experience, and as such reality is objective. Furthermore, abstract principles by nature exist independent of time, and as such reality is eternal.
