I'm so curious how people consciously feel things in a different way that other people do. Sometimes, in a same situation, my feeling or description will totally different from other people. That's all about individual consciousness. We can't expect others have the same consciousness with us. Just like we can't copy others fingerprint.
I have an idea want to share is one of the many facets of why Christ came was so that we could have the experience of finally losing the self-consciousness that descended upon us in Eden when passivity and rebellion stained us. We can now return to God-conscience as the man did while conversing as he walked with God in the cool of the day. However, in pre-fallen Adam, the God-consciousness was as a creature only. But in Jesus it is in son ship, adopted, rescued and paid for by that same God himself entering in and drinking a bitter cup to the bottom. And now, with the veil ripped, our God-consciousness must completely overthrow and crush self-consciousness. Just as self-consciousness diminishes when a person becomes drunk on spirits, so too our self-consciousness becomes eclipsed when the will bends perfectly to the Spirit of Holiness just as Jesus described to Nicodemus about those being like the wind who are born of the Spirit. You lose your “you” and I lose my “me” until such references are merely incidental to the great truth that He is all, and all that really matters of who I am in this world.
