the God of my Consciousness

*I've moved, and my posts have come with me! Check out my new blog at www.jeffrey-davis.net/blog/*

This post is inspired by a conversation I had yesterday with Jim and Rick. Thanks guys for making me think.

Is it possible to be consciously aware of God's presence at all times? And if so, is that what God longs for in us? I don't know. Since this conversation I've been searching (subconsciously at times, ha ha) through what things I hold in my subconscious and what things I am conscious of. I ask myself these questions: Was Jesus consciously aware of God constantly? I would say so. But then again, He is God, so is that same reality possible for us? I still think so because it is Christ's life that is in us who are His followers (John 5:15, John 14:20, and more...). Are those things that exist in my consciousness there because I choose to keep them there, or is it because they have so saturated my subconscious that they have overflowed into my conscious.

For example, I'm totally obsessed with the great expanse that once separated the waters of below and above--and the things that take place there. This expanse is the sky. Because of this infatuation, I am constantly taking notice of it. Why? Because I possibly choose to keep in my conscious? I don't think so, I think it's because I'm so incredibly subconsciously preoccupied with it that it spills over into my consciousness...but then again, I could be wrong.

Anyway, I don't have all my thoughts all worked out on this topic (and doubt I soon will), but just wanted to open it up for a little discussion. Maybe Jim and Rick will drop by to comment...
