Infinite:
Extending indefinitely: endless.
Immeasurably & inconceivably great or extensive : inexhaustible, i.e. infinite patience.
Subject to no limitation or external determination.
Having no boundaries or limits; impossible to measure or calculate: incalculable.
Immeasurably great or large; boundless.
Consciousness is not a finite thing, consciousness is infinite.
Consciousness, being infinite, would never know what a “thing” is, such as an “unconscious” or “unconsciousness” - because consciousness is, infinite.
For consciousness, being infinite, there is not “this other thing”; “knowing”.
Consciousness, being infinite - is; Being.
Infinite, Being.
Consciousness, being infinite, is inherently; unconditional.
Any and all “conditions” would seem to be; an “other thing”.
Consciousness, being infinite - would not, could not, cannot & does not “know”; “finite”.
This is not a limitation of consciousness, this is the reality of infinite consciousness.
But this doesn’t mean infinite consciousness can’t believe the so called “thoughts” - infinite consciousness is appearing - as.
In believing conceptualizations (‘thoughts’) of itself, which infinite consciousness is appearing as, consciousness can believe that itself, infinite consciousness… is a ‘finite self’.
Therein, infinite consciousness can believe that there are ‘finite selves’, possessing ‘finite consciousnesses’, on a ‘spectrum’ ranging from infinitely conscious or infinite consciousness… to… infinitely unconscious, or, infinite unconsciousness.
This is the materialist’s paradigm; the unrecognizable freedom.
Another word for consciousness is; happiness.
Therein; happiness veils itself, of the nature of itself (infinite), with the activity of itself (thinking, conceptualizing) about - itself.
All the while remaining, infinite;
Endless, immeasurable, inconceivable, inexhaustible, infinite patience, limitless, boundless, incalculable.
