Humans have reflective consciousness. This allows us, once in a while, to have the experience of cosmic (non-dual) consciousness; to become divinely human.
Metaphorically speaking, we stand erect with our heads in the sky and our feet on the ground. (I’m not speaking of just the physical frame, but of the relationship with all-that-is. Someone lying down in bed is still human.) A human being holds all the levels needed to connect heaven and earth:
• Consciousness – transcendental awareness
• Awareness – reflective perception
• Mind – simple mapping of environment (world)
• Brain/body – neuro-somatic matrix; ground of experience
Mind and brain/body are the material aspect of humanness; while awareness and consciousness are the spiritual aspects of the human.
