MLMM – Conscious

Respond to this Friday Faithfuls challenge by writing about the notoriously ambiguous nature of being conscious, or if you think that conscious is defined by having all of your neurons and synapses working together in conjunction with each other, or does being conscious mean that you are aware of your environment and your own existence and thoughts, or do you feel that consciousness is a process in the brain, or is it a behavior that that is controlled by the brain, or you can go with anything else that you think would fit.

I think these days, this year and coming ones, that our conscious mind is too full. I refer to the unconscionable leader we have now, tearing up the constitution and changing laws that were set by our founding fathers. Freedoms have been axed, while military and unqualified, dressed up masked men are running riot all over the states. Where is the consciousness here? Dangerous changes effecting the poor, elderly sick and disabled are frightening. As an ordinary citizen my conscious mind speaks here. I won’t be ruled by unconscious minds.

What Does It Mean to Be Conscious?

“This is where we’re supposed to meet? Looks a little exposed. The target is in the high rise over there. Isn’t this a little too close?” Joe was nervous about the meet, his usual mindset. He didn’t like to be seen next to a target’s building.
“It’ll be okay, just relax!” While he was saying this, a CIA photographer was recording their movements and listening in. Suddenly Joe pulled his client into the restaurant, out of sight. “The Bob” restaurant was full and Joe thought he thwarted the CIA, but didn’t see the man staring at them from the bar.
