Consciousness: A Concept or A Movement?

Consciousness is defined as the state of being awake and aware of one's surroundings. However, the foul stench of deception permeates the air like blinding smoke rising from the ashes of burning foundations. In order to rid the mind of  the perpetuations of inferiority, economic damnation and community despair that are portayed daily in the media, a sense of urgency must replace normal patterns of behavior. Many have become conditioned and accepting of the factors that are changing our society. Complacency is a characteristic that true conscious soul avoids at all costs. But what is consciousness in its true form? Can one subscribe to the doctrines of religion and still claim to be awakened? Is there a line that separates what our souls can digest in their quest for knowledge from what we have been conditioned to accept as truth?  Is there a point when mental awakening can be dangerous to those who dare explore outside of their comfort zone? Tonight on TheTAPI Network. Let's dissect and build.
