What is consciousness?

The questions I read today that I wish to offer forth:
Are you ready to embrace a new way?  Are you ready to get off the merry-go-round?  Are you ready to let go of every belief that you have, every box you are in order that you can be who you truly are?  As friends and teachers of mine say- are you ready to jump off the cliff?
I say yes and I say I am ready to carry this forth into business and personal relationships.  I am feeling more and more and quicker and quicker the change!  I look in amazement at who I am today and who I was even six months ago- knowing it is all perfect!  I am always right where I have to be!
I read today on another web site that the New Consciousness (Crimson Circle) isn't in the mind- it is actually the feeling and the experience- it is allowing, accepting and surrendering!  These are the words I have been with for three years now and they continue to evolve in their meaning for me- I feel like I am home.  That the way of being I have known is perfect for what comes next!
