The Conscious Parent

Consciousness isn’t a state to arrive at, a destination. After we become
conscious, it doesn’t mean we experience no more moments of
unconsciousness. Rather, living consciously is an ongoing process.
Nobody is fully conscious, and we can be conscious in one aspect of
our life and not in another—conscious in the way we act one moment but
unconscious the next moment. To become conscious is to witness our
unconsciousness, which progressively makes it conscious. For this
reason, there’s no need to treat our unconsciousness as if it were the
boogey man. It’s nothing to be frightened of, but is the portal to our
development into whole human beings.
