Consciousness - exists in all realms of nature
Whichever world creatures belong to - the mineral, vegetable, animal or human - they all have consciousness, but how distant this consciousness is from their body depends on their degree of evolution. It is furthest away in minerals, which is why they are in a state of complete inertia. The consciousness of plants lies at the centre of the earth, so, if we want to be able to speak to them and get them to understand us and act for us, that is where we must try to reach them. Animals do not have an individual consciousness but a collective consciousness outside of themselves, and each species has a group soul controlling it. The fact, for example, that they have a mating season, a time for laying eggs, for migrating, for moulting, and so on, means they obey an external group soul, to which they belong. As for humans, they are the only ones to possess an individual consciousness, which is why they are beings that think and are free.
