Are humans the most conscious beings? Can you be "more conscious"? What is it like to be extra conscious? Discuss. |

I'd imagine there's a lot further one could go. |

Well consciousness is pretty much the awareness of one's existence. It's really a yes or no question, are you conscious or not. There aren't many "levels" of consciousness. |

Can one of 'lesser-consciousness' comprehend 'greater-consciousness'? If they can, wouldn't they be the 'greater-consciousness?' If you can understand something, then it is not greater than you. |

Trafalmadorians have a higher level of consciousness than us. With all the dimensions of existence that we can't perceive let alone understand, and we're just not built for that. And Spartiate, I'd argue that consciousness compromises awareness of oneself, as well as one's state, or situation. |

Yes its very possible. I beleive there are "levels" of aweareness in this reality as their are in lucid dreams, from my personal experience. Try looking up enlightenment or around the boat, although I'm not suggesting that I've been enlightened, but instead something close to a very high awareness but for short periods of time. I seek to prolong and grasp this higher conciousness of mine. |

I stomp on your ideas.
Why not? The next stage is awareness of others. The ability to shift and share consciousness. |

I heard dolphins are the higest level of consiousness.... |

"I do not love “good” more than I love “bad.” Hitler went to heaven. When you understand this, you will understand God."
some guy has a computer chip in his brain and they are advancing the science to the point that they might be able to conect every person with a chip to the internet and if/when they do that we might be at a higher level but we won't know if we are just like we dont know how we got to this level. |
