Is consciousness a physical reality or a spiritual reality or it is different than both of them
Consciousness is what is real. Physical reality or a spiritual reality are simply things which are created by that which is real - Consciousness. They are not real in the same way that consciousness is real. It is consciousness alone which decides what is real, through experiencing the things it creates.
For example, you and I are consciousness, and as such we are aspects of GOD, which - through a series of processes have been divested into this physical thing called the universe, specifically into the forms of the human instrument, on the planet Earth.
We experience what we do as being a thing that is
real, and so it is until our forms are no longer able to hold us within that reality.
When we depart this experience, where we go next will also be considered real as we experience it. In relation to that, it is my understanding that what we will experience will be what we as individuals create for ourselves, largely on what we believe.
In relation to 'spiritual' realms (universes) these apparently consist of less physical objects - things which are not so densified as we currently experience them in this present universe.
However, this does not mean that we each will experience the next phase (spiritual realm) as less dense than this one, because it is all dependent upon our individual beliefs as to what unfolds, and many who have departed this universe are unaware that they create for themselves the next experience. If they find themselves in a place where - for example - a table appears to be solid, they will believe it to be the case, and therefore would not be able to move through that table.
They are unaware that they have created the table (and everything else they are experiencing) and they expect the table to be solid, and so it is.
So you may be able to understand in this that 'spirit' and 'physical' become blurred in relation to personal belief and the terms cancel one another out.
Within the so-called 'spirit' realm, there are uncountable variations of 'realities' which individuals have created for themselves.
These are partitioned off from one another in relation to the individuals beliefs.
The partitions act like holding cells and the creations themselves are not permanent - they will not last forever, but they will last for as long as those who created them believe them to be real.
This is simply the nature of consciousness in relation to the next phase of experience, that what it
believes to be real, is what it will experience as being real.
This also works in relation to our current situation but because of the density of our situation it is less obvious for that. We do not simply instantly manifest our ideas into this universe. We actually have to bring them into existence through working with the materials available and those materials are limited. We also have to work in conjunction with others to make many things real.
Most of what I have said above is what I have pieced together through various sources which offer data freely available to anyone interested enough to spend years researching.
Basically though, when it comes to 'what is real' only Consciousness is real, in the sense that Consciousness is the cause of things existing and is the only 'substance' which has always and will always exist, with or without 'form' but obviously it appears to be far more fun for consciousness to create 'realms' in which to explore, and that is why I say that all things exist within the mind of GOD. There is no
thing outside the mind of GOD, and in relation to our next phase of experience, most of that happens within the mind of the local GOD, the mind of the Earth Entity, and the reason for this has to do with our individual beliefs of which we have to work through in order to eventually discard those beliefs in favor of truthfulness, and because in relation to GOD the First Source Consciousness, we are far more closely related in terms of our position, to GOD the Earth Entity, which is itself an aspect of the First Source Consciousness divested into this universe.
