I was going to point out the difference between the two as well LOL

And I think consciousness is bigger than just our little minds as well. I think that humans have the ability ( as well as animals, and higher life forms so to speak) to tap into something that is greater than ourselves and that which are small little minds can imagine. Think of moments of pure consciousness, like the kind that not just hit during transcendental meditation, but the kind that sometimes hits people completely out of the blue where they understand the interconnectedness of all things and beings. I think that consciousness is Supra-consciousness and outside of ourselves and yet still part of us.

I also think that this is indicated during moments of pure genius and inspiration that happened in science math music and the like. Does that make sense?
