Everything has a consciousness. Every atom and molecule is conscious. Every virus and bacteria is conscious. Every tree, large and small animals are conscious, but each level of consciousness is different. All humans are conscious; the level of consciousness among humans also differs.
There are three levels of consciousness. The first level is when you stop thinking and letting outside sources think for you. In which you become a different mind. The second is simply thinking. The third the highest form of consciousness. Is when you rise ABOVE thought. Transcend thought by shutting it completely off.
