Consciousness is the unicameral mind, as it were. Speaking physically, it is the new unified communication network within the brain whereby two hemispheres function synergistically to create a higher order of operation which is self-referential and introspective. Speaking metaphysically, it is the new integrated inventorying of reality in abstract concepts that organizes myriad facts of experience in accordance with conceptually identified logic. In addition, consciousness is an operative modality of the brain or the mind which is inherently non-automatic. That is, there is nothing in nature that causes consciousness to operate automatically.
Consciousness is the causative factor relative to its own existence. There is nothing in existence that can make an individual conscious but his own act of being conscious. Consciousness exists as an entelechy; when it exists it exists in its full manifestation, and when it exists not it exists not at all. That means consciousness never evolves. It is an individual's very act of being conscious (of something) that brings consciousness into being with its utter totality. Thus, in reality, when one is conscious, he is fully conscious with nothing missing and nowhere to evolve.
In the beginning, however, consciousness sought to operate within the lost matrix of the bicameral mind, that is, consciousness made the entire inventory of brain-stored information emulate the dominant hemisphere of the bicameral mind. Consciousness operating in the emulated bicameral modality is perceptivity-centered consciousness. It is when consciousness developed a sufficiently integrated conceptual knowledge internally that consciousness made the shift from the subjective to the objective and became aware of reality, objective and in essence abstract. Consciousness operating in the context of abstract and objective reality is conceptuality-centered consciousness.
Reality in the final analysis, reality in a fully integrated epistemological context, is abstraction. It is the aggregate of abstract principles that are completely independent of any particular observer and his experience, and as such reality is objective. Furthermore, abstract principles by nature exist independent of time, and as such reality is eternal. And when reality is cognized by consciousness, it exists in the form of concepts. However, since it exists in the form of concepts, consciousness can subjectively create or simulate "reality" without ever objectively conceiving, comprehending, or identifying reality as such. This inherent proclivity of consciousness to create, simulate, or make up "reality" is mysticism. Mysticism is the epistemological disease of consciousness to confine itself in the perceptivity-centered modality (the emulated bicameral modality), in subjectivity, while fabricating or making up non-existing, illusory "realities".
