Fabric of Consciousness
The phrase "Fabric of Consciousness is a term coined by Dr. Michael Sharp and is one of several terms (others include God, god, energy, matter and so on), which can be used to refer to some aspect of consciousness. The Fabric of Consciousness can be defined as simple, non-material, sui generis, awareness. As is noted in The Book of Light Volume One, the Fabric of Consciousness is awareness pure and simple.
Of course, The Fabric of Consciousness is more than simple awareness. As outlined in The Book of Light all volumes, The Fabric encompasses God with a big "G," god with a little "g" (both terms I coin and define in The first volume of The Book of Light), and monadic intensifications. It is the unfolding of the Fabric of Consciousness (a term also coined and defined in The Book of Light volume one) which underpins the "first creation" (an ideational reality that exists wholly within the awareness of Spirit/consciousness) and it is The Fabric of Consciousness that is involved in subsequent iterations of physical creation. [The Fabric of] Consciousness is the root of all things.
The Fabric of Consciousness provides for a non-hierarchical and authority free conceptualization of Spirit. Unlike old world spiritualities, which love to posit some kind of "executive force," The Fabric of Consciousness provides for an egalitarian representation of the creative forces of this universe. It is not simply that we are all equal in the eyes of God, it is that we are all manifestations of God's (with a big "G") consciousness. In this conceptualization, God is the sum-totality of all "intensified" monads (see Monadic Intensification of Consciousness) while god with a little "g" is simply the first monad to intensify. Also, as I clearly point out in the introduction to The Book of Light, the concept of The Fabric provides absolutely no room for evil. In the conceptualization provided in the Book of Light, only the light of consciousness exists. Darkness of all forms is merely the absence of light (i.e. consciousness)
Notions that we are all "God" are of course not new. It is a common theme in the new age movement and the idea can be found in some Eastern philosophies. What is new and novel in the Lightning Path treatment is how the idea of consciousness and God are developed. Starting from the foundation that consciousness is the primary and primordial reality, in the multiple volumes of the Book of Light, all things (including all aspects of physical reality) are shown to flow from The Fabric.
