What is Consciousness?

Posted on by

Most science views consciousness as a byproduct of matter, but yoga philosophy offers a 3,000-year-old perspective on the mind.

Many people assume our awareness evolves solely from biological functions. However, traditional yogic cosmology suggests a much deeper origin. We will examine the relationship between Purusha, or pure awareness, and Prakriti, the operative force, to understand how the mind truly functions.

By exploring these ancient concepts, you can better grasp how your own mind evolves back toward a state of higher consciousness. This path is practical, relying on meditation to move beyond the physical factors of existence toward samadhi.

Subscribe for weekly insights on spiritual growth, and let me know in the comments if you have experienced that observer state during your own practice.
