What is the dark side of Christ Consciousness?
What is the Curse of Christ Consciousness?
Do you remember what I told you? 'A slave is not greater than the master.' Since they persecuted me, naturally they will persecute you. And if they had listened to me, they would listen to you. John 15:20
Consciousness, as in the human-exclusive intellectual capacity is inherently counterproductive to "happiness", it's a "bad" thing. I'm using quotation marks, because those probably aren't the right words (if there are any), but what I mean should be clear by the end of my post.
Humans are self aware, can reflect, be introspective, create ideas, challenge them, etc, but we can't have much certainty in what we create with our mind. There's always this existential dread. We fear death partly because we don't know what it really means. We don't know if there's a God or how the universe really works or how exactly we or the other humans work. Since we aspire to know, but can't get a definitive answer, it can be tormenting and most of the time it is if one dwells on such thoughts for too long.
There can be comfort in subscribing to one ideology, religion or outlook on life, but often it can be shattered easily, taking you back to the beginning. Besides, doubt is not something easy to get rid of.
Basically, conciousness creates uncertainty, which creates negative emotions and thoughts and is thus a "curse".
