Consciousness is information that initiates a pseudo-identity thanks to the amazing properties of the ego. The ego is the core production of the universe's inner design .-. some could say the ego is the artifact which expresses the universe's state in which it's roleplays itself. The reason why we lose ourselves when we lose ego is because we lose consciousness, or focus. This focus is a reaction to the advanced stimuli, or super stimuli, which does not exist, but can still be a reasonable term to coin for a unique and further progressed system of stimuli. We have a gravitational pull that is metaphysical, which may lead to convincing experiences where we feel that fate is amongst us, but what really happens is that life is all about focus. We can observe focus through simple things like how we observe a movie and what goes on, or how we interpret a subject/object. We are drawn to our focus point, and that is why many have fulfilled their dreams and goals. That's why we have dreams and goals, we are focus pointers. We have a focus point on demand no matter who we are. A desire is not a focus point, however .-. it's a distraction point .-. a need .-. a want that is there for only negative purposes. A desire is a deterrence to what is otherwise a focus point. When we desire, we are never fulfilled. When we focus, we are able to experience a fulfillment. This is the key point to understanding the true difference between desire and focus. Gravity can bend, so perhaps consciousness can bend, or it can only circumvent other reactions in a non-linear form. When we are able to bend our will, so to speak, we are bending information, or are we circumventing information .-. it's a question that is worth answering, because if consciousness can bend, then consciousness is space.
