As our conciousness expands we become more aware of everything out there (or in here)...as we see what foreign galaxies are made of...we see what infinitely smaller things are made of. Like that...we also become more concious of our inner as we become more concious of our outer.

So we can learn new words to help describe our inner and outer natures.

This resonates with me. Gem rising here as well.

I see in this world many false spiritual teachers of my generation. Young guys who smoke a lot of pot and drink and promote themselves as dating gurus giving rag tag spiritual knowledge and claiming that certain outer circumstances demonstrate spiritual qualities.

It's not what other people say about us that matters...it's what we think of ourselves that matters...we can't measure our spiritual progress by anything except for what we come to on our own...and that's going to be different for every person.

For me...I mark it by the words in my life. I'm a gemini ascendant...my soul expands when I learn right relations by communications.

As a Gemini ascendant...I know what you mean...when I speak of learning a word I mean learning the soul and spirit of the word too...so it's a little different for me than simply writing down the definition...it expands my consciousness becomes I become self aware..

For example...if you do not know what pensive means...then you cannot know what shallow means...if you do not know what pensive means then how can you know how you feel when you're pensive? You cannot know how you feel...you can only feel it...you are unconscious of how you feel because you feel reflective...yet you cannot know how you feel.

If you are hurting inside but you do not know what hurting is then we are unconscious of our hurting...once we learn what our hurting is we can be even more specific...but we can't actually think about what is affecting us until we define it...

Then we can verbalize it in thought and our soul can download our heart message.

Conciousness is the opposite of unconciousness...therefore conciousness and knowing go hand in hand.

If you we blindly move through life unconcious of what is happening to us then we have no knowledge...and when we aquire knowledge our conciousness expands..

This is why "boring" just means...I give up.

Feelings are meant to be felt, if I can verbalize them, fine, if I can’t, that too would be fine. Difference in approach between water and air, I guess.

There is a difference between knowledge and consciousness.
