This is VOLUME ONE of The Consciousness Chronicles series. The Consciousness Chronicles recount one man's lifelong and generally solitary journey to ascertain how consciousness interacts with the external world, focusing on the perspective of consciousness as the transcendental creative force binding the unanimity of perceived existentiality, including how we manipulate reality to manifest an infinity of intricate incarnations within our spatial-temporal dimensionality. Pushing the restrictions and rule sets of perceptual existentiality through critical observation, hazardous experience, and resolute exploration of the alternate realities revealed within lucid dreaming and tripping on psychotropic substances, the author found illumination and clarity in the transcendental acts of creativity we innovatively conceptualize, resulting in real manifestations heretofore unknown instantiated from the nascent machinations of our transcendent ultra-conscious imaginings. To augment the reader's comprehension of the innovative concepts herein discussed, the two volumes include 600 color photographs in all.Some philosophers argue consciousness is a unitary concept intuitively understood by the majority of sentient beings, despite the intricacy of trying to define it. Others contend the obvious disagreement about the meaning of the conception of the term suggests either it means different things to different individuals, or it is an umbrella term including a diversity of meanings without verifiable axiomatic elements shared in common. But it does not matter if a consensus about what consciousness truly might be another Holy Grail mankind aspires to achieve with no hope of attainment, because it is something all of us innately possess when we are born into this reality. Consequently, each of us is a living and breathing laboratory equipped with what we require to ascertain what this self-awareness we call consciousness denotes to each of us; assuming one has the aspiration to do something significant with his or her cognizance unconnected to humankind's unrelenting quest to realize love, fame and fortune in lieu of all else. So let us adopt the existential axiom at the outset that your consciousness and mine may or may not be entirely different metaphysically; and instead focus on the degree of consciousness we employ or may conceivably employ during the tenure of our lives within this reality we share. Considering how much we accomplish with the little truly-focused consciousness most of us now expend, try to cognize what we might achieve if we remained 100% conscious during every existential moment of our lives. The possibilities are infinite; and as you will learn, if you are able to suspend your disbelief while reading the volumes of The Consciousness Chronicles, astonishingly mind-bending as well as aberrantly reality-bending. Being conscious does not imply that once in a blue moon we exhibit consciousness within our existentiality. Being truly conscious means the effects of consciousness will be continuously apparent in increasingly more of our interactions with reality each twinkling of the present we exist, because the responsibility of intensified cognizance does not grant us indiscriminate dispensation to pick and choose when it is permissible to be only partially aware.Ultimately, we are not the pawns of reality we fool ourselves into believing; we are essentially the architects. For awake or asleep, what we perceive at any given present instant, we spontaneously assemble from matter and manifest into existence. So there is no reason not to take responsibility for our creations by ensuring we are respectfully expressed and deployed. We should not allow malevolent manifestations to pop extemporaneously into our collective reality. Our godlike responsibility is to presage only potentialities of benevolence and harmony, leaving no place for aberrant malignancies to become apparent or evident.
