Two major forms of human consciousness exist: quantitative (linear historical) and qualitative (beyond the conceptual domains of space and time).
Quantitative consciousness relies on an imaginative discernment of discrete quanta which follow each other in logical procession. Qualitative consciousness opens into a boundless realm of the immeasurable: of Love and Truth and Beauty.
Quantitative consciousness believes in fact, not minding that facts are ephemera arising from one’s own subjective state. A person existing in quantitative consciousness lives in linear time, clings to history and its perceived ongoing march into the unknown as reality.
Qualitative consciousness lies beyond, within, and outside the bounded and limited capacity of quantitative consciousness. Qualitative consciousness is a deep and expansive visionary experiencing of that which brings quantitative consciousness into being.
Quantitative consciousness is the imaginary. Qualitative consciousness is the Imaginal.Quantitative consciousness is linear. Qualitative consciousness is holoarchical. Quantitative consciousness is historical. Qualitative consciousness is the eternal now.
Quantitative consciousness is so-called “normal” consciousness. Qualitative consciousness is so-called “transcendent” consciousness.
With qualitative consciousness, we live in a roller coaster ride of drama. With quantitative consciousness, we are always already home.
