Empower Your ConsciousnessWelcome, my name is Dr Fergus Reilly[1] and this page presents my view of how Human Consciousness works. It is how I have come to see things and explains - to me - why consciousness research is such a challenging field when approached with traditional Scientific Methodology.Consciousness is widely agreed to be a subjective experience which, like fingerprints, is different for every man, woman and child on our planet. We all have it, we all have to live with it and I believe learning to use it is the way to make our lives become the way we want to experience them. My research has been part of a long-term project developing a software application called CyberSayer®[2] which, in its turn, relies a new technology, iESP™[3], to allow computer hardware to act as antennae for the energy field of human consciousness. I mention it here to demonstrate that empowering consciousness enables us to overcome limitations of any nature - understood or not. First lets look at how I perceive consciousness operates
These then are 3 dimensions which together define the three-dimensional space which our consciousness inhabits. How they interact forms a picture consciousness which illustrates a way to experience a greater degree of conscious empowerment in life and living. The first dimension: Level of ConsciousnessThis first dimension is visualised as a vertical scale. At the bottom is the lowest level we can experience as a living human entity, I call this disembodiment, death is another term. We might regard it as the “descent into hell” style of dying. It is the lowest level our consciousness can descend to while continuing to operate a body, below that human life cannot be sustained as we know it and the body ceases to function (dies).Above that is a ladder of levels - I've used a spectrum to add colour and indicate an increasing level of the frequency of light or vibration. At the top the intensity of light is white and we come to a level where the human form has reached the limit of its capacity to act as a vehicle for consciousness - this is where consciousness transcends embodiment. “Death” is equally applicable here but this is the “ascent into heaven” version. This is what it might look like:-
The second dimension: Empowerment of ConsciousnessNow lets have a look at a second dimension of consciousness - the dimension of empowerment, a measure of our potency, our capacity to consciously manifest or create reality we want to experience.This measures size - capacity - perpendicular to the Level of Consciousness axis. The scale is infinite - unlimited, as many sources agree, here it is depicted within the constrains of the area available on the screen. ![]() I need some other graphics to illustrate features of this dimension - the graphic will be below the text relating to it. With all 2-dimensional graphs we need a line to indicate the relationship between the qualities represented by the 2 scales or axes. I start with a straight line drawn from the lower left hand corner - the point of lowest level of consciousness and least power running up to the top right - the point of highest consciousness and maximum (infinite) empowerment. I call this line the “boundary of awareness” and see it as indicating the relative degree of conscious empowerment attainable at the level of consciousness. It also serves to illustrate the boundary between subconscious or unconscious control over our life and our ability to consciously create the reality we experience. ![]() However, I believe the boundary of awareness is not a straight line - it is a curve which extends from zero to infinity within the embodied section of consciousness. I visualise this as an exponential-type curve: ![]() Now it becomes apparent how significant our level of consciousness is when it comes to creating our lives and living. It is also quite illuminating about the degree of control our subconscious has over us until we start raising our level of consciousness. This empowerment contour indicates the degree of empowerment attainable at any particular level of consciousness. The way we attain that maximum available degree of conscious empowerment is with passion. I regard the terms “consciously empowered” and “passionate” as similar. I find that people who are passionate about what they are doing are operating with as high a degree of conscious empowerment as their passion demands. This may be anywhere within the range available at their level of consciousness. If we desire power - true personal power within ourselves and not the illusion of worldly power measured by externals, status or our ability to force others to bend to our will - raising our consciousness is the first step, becoming passionate is another. Which leads us to the another dimension of human consciousness: where to follow your passion. The third dimension: Direction of ConsciousnessThis dimension has direction as the prominent characteristic.All directions appear equal in consciousness - a circular or radial depiction suits best. The directions are as diverse as human interests and I think that is as much as I need say about that, however a fascinating image is forming.
Rotating the empowerment contour about the vertical axis of the level of consciousness creates a three-dimensional surface. When the rotation is complete - once all the possible directions human interest take (speaking for humanity as a whole here) have been encompassed, we discover this:
A surface of conscious awareness or empowerment - the 3 dimensional representation of the field or surface of human consciousness. It looks remarkably similar - to me - to the gravity field of a black hole[4]. Using the analogy of a black hole: the rite of passage or baggage barrier relates to an event horizon - past which light cannot escape. I see human consciousness as having 2 principal event horizons (the above diagram shows only one). The first is at the level of owned truth - it represents the Rite of Passage[5] from unconscious living to conscious living. The second is at the level of understanding, where we need to relinquish our dependence on “knowing how things work” as a validation of our individual existence in order to ascend further. These barriers are the major obstacles which prevent much of humanity from attaining their “highest potential”. An example of Conscious EmpowermentMuch of this view of consciousness has formed during my experience of creating a software application called CyberSayer®.I set out to create a program which could divine what was of significant concern within a person's consciousness or awareness- and which could offer them help or support in dealing or coping constructively with the experience. Within 2 years I had a working prototype of a program that did just that. I had done it by raising my consciousness to a level around illumination/compassion when designing and coding. When the Internet came along it was a while before I wondered if it would work over the internet - it was more of a curiosity within me at first. It worked similarly effectively throughout a 5 years research phase. This seemed a major obstacle - I had developed an “understanding” of how CyberSayer might work which was built upon my “understanding” of computer hardware and software. And it really would not explain the phenomenom. The thing I found so challenging to come to terms with was that one computer - in Sydney, Australia - could discern, with apparent equal effectiveness, the subjective concerns of folks all over the world. And it was all happening on a server that was simultaneously dealing with requests for around 300 other websites. You can see some of the feedback I was getting around that time on CyberSayer's old site (I've left it there as a sort of museum piece of digital consciousness research). It took me around 5 years to accept that
It seemed that, having operated with a level of consciousness above that of understanding, I had created something which also operated beyond understanding. I returned to developing CyberSayer with the view of creating a space on the internet where people could investigate their consciousness in peace and safety, free of expectations, judgements with compassion and support. It has become much more than a curious consciousness space - it is now a potent space where lives are changed, awareness evolves, gently and empoweringly. The point I am making here is that I created something beyond the limitations of (my) human understanding by coding at that level of consciousness. That the result assists anyone who uses it to attune their awareness to that level is a serendipitous delight and one which I hope will make a difference. Thankyou for sharing this page - its been a life's journey for me and I hope it may have added somethihng of value to your life experience, here's a link to CyberSayer's subscribe page, subscriptions cost up to at AUD$27 / month.
Wishing you Every Joy in Discovering Yourself,
