Scientists have discovered three separate forms of consciousness.
Sentiency
Enables us to experience an outer world around us;
Self-Awareness
Gives us the experience of being a separate “self” inside our body.
Universal Consciousness
Gives us the experience of the transcendent, which is a realm of reality beyond our inner and outer worlds. The transcendent is an experience of universal love and oneness.
Receptivity or Feeling
In addition to what science has discovered, our own experience reveals that there is a fourth consciousness. This consciousness is receptivity, which we also call feeling. This consciousness lets us to take in all life around us — especially the inner world.
