Is higher consciousness a higher state of destruction?

Question

Is higher consciousness a higher state of destruction?

Answer 1

Yes, if it leads to destruction.  

Answer 2

No.  That is one of the ego's illusions because it wants to remain what it is.  As consciousness approaches enlightenment it begins to dissolve away until the onset of enlightenment totally replaces it.  the ego's main purpose is survival and is willing to die to remain what it is rather than change.  

Most people avoid spiritual pathways because they don't want to leave the familiar for the unfamiliar.  The ego fears nonexistence (the reason why bodily death is often feared) and will try anything and everything to prevent us from reaching higher states of consciousness.

Answer 3

That is a deep one!!

I think there is every evidence to show that the higher state of consciousness indeed meddles with the fine balance of the nature and thereby causes a higher order of destruction. Perhaps, it is due to such higher state of consciousness developing self gratification desires over and above the basic preservation or survival instincts. It is in this endeavor of self gratification that the nature's balance is destroyed to a greater degree as well as at a higher level. Great question!!

Answer 4

i think a higher state of self served justice mixed with a higher state of self-preservation (to the point of paranoia) is causing more and more destruction.

Answer 5

If we're differentiating man from nature, yes.  That is, of course, assuming nature cannot destroy itself.

Answer 6

Yes. Higher consciousness (super consciousness) leads to destruction of course. But it only destroys the ego in an individual.

Answer 7

Destruction may it be in higher or lower state, is only a part of a higher consciousness.
