Facets of Consciousness
Facets of Consciousness may be broken down into three categories or phases, primary, secondary, and tertiary. Primary facets of consciousness exist in the beginning. Secondary facets emerge following the Instantiation of Consciousness, in the second stage of The Unfolding. Tertiary facets (emerge following entry) emerge during the third stage of the Unfolding, with the emanation of creation.
Primary Facets
- awareness,
- self-awareness,
- expression
- bliss (lower levels compassion, love),
- willful
- imagination/creativity
Islam: " In Islamic theology and metaphysics a distinction is made between God in Himself, or the divine Essence (dhat), and God as He describes Himself in revelation. Thus in the Koran God calls Himself by many Names, such as the "Merciful," the "All-Knowing," the "Living," the "All-Powerful."From those Names (asma') we understand that He possesses the Attributes (sifat) of Mercy, Knowledge, Life, and Power. "[1]
secondary

- Thought
- Self Love
- Joy, happiness
- Force (a.k.a. Power) / Intent
