How Would You Define Consciousness In Your Own Words?

It's not about "truth," since that implies "falsehood," which is the wrong approach to the matter. Enlightenment is breaking down limits and being open to your nature, to the absolute being. "Absolute" means unlimited. Relative means limited. Relative is not false, is just manifestation, not nature.

"Being" is the consequence of unlimitedness. If nothing limits it, being is. Reality is. This is everything; it is the totality. To truly be open to this reality as a base state is enlightenment. This is not just a realization, it's an energetic shift. 

It is about whatever is true - and it's not going to be what you think. If it turns out that nothing is true, then that will be the truth of it. Then again, that's unknown. In any case, we're spinning our wheels. If you don't grasp that you really don't know, there won't be any real questioning.
