Why Consciousness Matters to me

 My main question with, The Consciousness Project,  is "do we create our own reality?" Several of the articles that I will be researching suggest that we need to be conscious, to be aware that we affect our reality. There are articles about the theories of Viktor Frankl and research on Rogerian Theory that will help me present each of my questions.

I didn't always agree with the belief that we create our own reality due to lack of knowledge and understanding. I work for a company, that uses a therapeutic approach which is founded in existentialism, and trauma theory.  I started asking questions and became involved and truly interested in the practices. I have come to think differently and to be open to an awareness about myself and my own consciousness.

I think my question affects a variety of people.  On a daily basis an individual is caught up in so much chaos, hurt, and love. I often wonder how much of it I really caused, or in a better word, created. I think it's important for us to understand just how much we really do create or how we choose to create in any given situation, so we can better ourselves in our daily decisions.

So my current questions for this continuing blog will be related to: What is consciousness? How do other peoples realities affect our own? More to come as I continue my ongoing research into quantum physics.
