Leap of Faith


Conceptual impressions surrounding this post are yet to be substantiated, corroborated, confirmed or woven into a larger argument, context or network.

Consciousness requires adjustment. There are no accepted definitions of consciousness, so it remains a mystery. In essence, the very context in which consciousness is viewed and/or perceived is constantly changing, making it difficult if not impossible, for consciousness to be defined or described even if self aware.

Any investigation into consciousness loses meaning due to the fact that no one has yet defined what is being looked for and if we don’t know what consciousness is, how would we ever know we found it? Facts precede knowing and knowing precedes understanding, consequently we could never know consciousness, yet we consistently fool ourselves in believing that we do. The concept of consciousness seems to orbit about a belief that is more of a leap of faith than anything else.

In comparison, design consciousness exemplifies the life learning process. Change brings with it an opportunity to expand in awareness by learning how to interpret and respond to the multitude of situations we encounter in life.

We cannot fully understand the concepts supporting design consciousness until we have discovered the symbolic traits common to our own awareness and our own realities. The symbols afford the clues while simultaneously creating a network that gives relative form to the synthesizing qualities of the Life experience, which is a force we describe as love.

Here again we enter the realm of subjectivity where everyone possesses a different perspective of the same situation. What one person perceives to be conscious and/or important will most assuredly contradict another. In reference to design consciousness, both are correct. The challenge, as always, is to bring balance by making connections to the unknown.

The creative process (design) is at the center of potential and probability (QFVPP). The creative process is your birthright. Focus brings knowledge, understanding and wisdom. Focus on design, which is always at the center of consciousness, flanked by awareness, appearances, potential and probability. 

Fear of the unknown is overcome through creativity (design); become more aware, therefore more conscious.  Always ask who, what, where, when, why and how. Synthesize your journey by following your path and knowing all is change.


Both the past and the future will
 be perceived and observe in the form of an event and/or experience.

Always be present in the moment because you are at the center of change.

Faith and trust rest at the center of believing and knowing.

I propose that consciousness is a human conviction designed with meaning and purpose, i.e. a Reality made apparent by means of our thoughts, feelings, desires and imagination.

The above observations have been made concerning design and consciousness in reference to the works of Horst Rittel and Melvin Webber creators of the Issue-Based Information System (IBIS). 2008 Gert-Jan C.
