The nature of mind or consciousness is that it is at all times nonlinear. Awakeness in its pure form, as opposed to what we are aware of, is essentially a nonlinear, nonlocal reality. This means that that faculty, that awakeness, whereby every life form - human or otherwise - is conscious is essentially nonlinear, omnipresent, and is not bound by space or time. As a nonlinear reality, space and time does not confine or limit mind or the potential of mind. There is one awakeness, one light of consciousness, shining throughout the universe and through every individual. In this sense, the individuality of a human or of an extraterrestrial life form is a window or an opening thru which the unbounded mind is shining. The fact that we identify this awakeness with our ego, with our thoughts, with our perceptions, is actually a delusional state. The actual nature of mind, regardless of how we may understand it, is that it is beyond space and beyond time. Therefore, it is omnipresent and eternal. This is the fundamental aspect of the existence of every intelligent life form. By becoming aware of just awareness, becoming conscious of the depths of silent consciousness, an individual can awaken to the nonlinear, or nonbounded, aspect of themselves.
