Sherry, thank so much for your input - you are right of course, to add in self-empowered and creative. I love this quote and it reflects what you are saying:
“What people have the capacity to choose, they have the ability to change.”

Great question Julie. I would add to your point #4: create a world of truly self-empowered and creative beings.

I accept Noel's suggestions of integral and non-dual, and would add integrity and generosity of spirit. When you perceive the world and people around you as extensions of the same creative force that made you, compassion replaces fear and distrust. I would say that any effort to spread kindness and compassion - towards onself as much as towards others - is new consciousness. The broadening of perception from "them & me" to "we" makes all the difference.

These are all substantial categories of what I perceive as “new paradigm” consciousness, i.e., new contextual frameworks for what we are conscious OF.
There are also new ways of being conscious AS:
1) self-transformational consciousness;
2) self-dominion consciousness, á la Rudolph Steiner’s proclamation that “If it depends on something other than myself
whether I should get angry or not, I am not master of myself . . . I have not yet found the ruler within myself. I must develop
the faculty of letting the impressions of the outer world approach me only in the way in which I myself determine”;
3) non-dual “both-and” consciousness (rather than “either-or” consciousness);
4) integral consciousness that perceives only wholeness;
5) non-symbolic consciousness (a.k.a. “unconditioned consciousness”), i.e. consciousness without an object and without
dimensionality that is dual, whole, or otherwise). The latter way of being conscious is the subject of the visionary novel,
The Fourth Awakening. See www.fourthawakening.com .

From the ground of being you have laid, I wish to read from the authors coming from Original Thought with reports of Direct Experience. Filter free, agenda-less, and speaking of Les some Lessons or Love. Strongly in favor of opening doors, and a sliding scale of grace, finesse, freedom with enough structure to make sense out of a slide into chaos. Quite a bit of NC makes sense, which may pre-suppose it SOS, and not New Consciousness. Is there a you in NC? Is being a NC author channelling morphenogenic fields?
