Properties of consciousness are :
1. Awareness by which it cognizes.
2. Motion of awareness instantaneously towards the object of cognition indifference to space and time.
3. Contraction or expansion of awareness instantaneously as per micro or macro level of the object during congnition.
On the basis of above it can be infered that -
1. If the awareness is the fundamental source of cognition then consciousness should cognize/perceive/obtain information without sense organs also.
2. If the awareness can reach beyond geography and time instantaneously then it should cognize the object directly indifferent to distance or physical barrier and also obtain the information of past, present or future.
3. If awareness can be contracted or expanded to micro or macro level then it should also cognize directly the microscopic or macroscopic object(s).
Consciousness has faculty to cognise in space and time by means of normal sensory perceptions and or extra sensory perception (ESP). Both are likely to operate in varying proportions depending upon the ability of an individual to apply any one or both. ESP may operate without sense organs and if so it should operate not only in present but in past and future and infact everywhere. During normal sensory perception all the three properties of consciousness are being utilized. It is further assumed that by applying the same properties of consciousness extrasensory perception also can be acquired.
A glance through the literature concerning the ESP researches since 1930, reveals that there are some serious unresolved issues 12-18, which need attention. Some of them are how does ESP function, what are the situations facilitating or hindering its operation, is it possible to form an experimental design which could be repeated universally so that ESP can be demonstrated or utilized at will?
The authors of this paper feel that a better understanding of consciousness and its properties can help resolving such issues. As assumed above, application of consciousness can play pivotal role in the functioning of extrasensory perception. Then a question arises why it is not seen commonly. The apparent absence of it in general public is primarily due to unsteady state of awareness. Secondly most individuals lack a knowledge of this phenomenon and practice of its application. Hence one is practically unable to perceive it directly beyond sense organs. This faculty of ESP should be operative in varying degree in each individual according to his ability of focussing and maintaining steady state of तुलसी प्रज्ञा अप्रेल - सितम्बर, 2000 VI
