Introduction
Our modern world is plagued by fear, anger, hate, division, violence, and war, threatening humanity’s existence. A misunderstanding at the core of the individual is responsible. It is time for a symbol of truth, love, unity, and the expansion of what is unavoidably common and core to all of us, no matter your philosophy, religion, politics or creed – that is, human consciousness.Symbolism and Meaning
To encompass this, the Consciousness Symbol is suffused with layers of meaning as described here:
Circle and Center Dot
Semaphore of “4” Representing “for”
The vertically oriented combination of center shapes represent a vertical line, which resembles the semaphore signal for the number “4”. This symbolizes a focus of being “for” or “pro” positives, rather than being “anti” or “against”. A leadership grounded in love and positivity.
Eye Turned To The Side
Turning the three vertically oriented middle shapes to be horizontally oriented reveals that an eye was turned to its side, viewing humanity’s challenging condition consciously and inquisitively.
Multiple Humans Unified
The center shapes take the form of two humans intersecting at the head, symbolizing the potential to realize our interconnected nature, as well as our sameness of consciousness primary to our emotions, thoughts, actions, and worldly challenges.
Expansion of Consciousness
The arrow-like shapes expand outward from the individual (represented by the center dot) to connect with the whole and unify.
Compass for Truthful Direction
The entire design also resembles a compass, which symbolizes the search and discovery of each individual’s core consciousness, and expanding our experience of consciousness enables us to more clearly realize and act in truth.
The Symbol’s Key Purpose
As a whole, this is a symbol of consciousness. With the support of the layered symbolism embedded within it, its key purpose is to remind us to become conscious of our own consciousness itself.
Being conscious of our own consciousness itself is not an ethereal or outlandish action, and while it relates to effective approaches to human well-bing in spirituality, psychology, and science, it does not need to be viewed as spiritual, psychological, or scientific. It is an act of tangible, direct introspection to explore and experientially understand the reality of what we are.
Being conscious of our own consciousness itself naturally brings us into the present moment and helps us see our experience for what it is. With time, it grows the muscle that grounds us in truth and love so that we can discover and effectively address the aspects of our lives where we have an opportunity to live more optimally for the benefit of our own well-being and that of others.
This is the intent for how the Symbol of Consciousness can contribute positively to the world.
If This Resonates, Please Help
If this symbol connects with you in any way, I hope you will explore it more to develop as full of an understanding of it as possible. It is intentionally non-religious, non-spiritual and non-political, yet it can relate in important ways to all of these categories that are often at the forefront of our human experience. Your assistance with embodying and spreading the message is critical as a seed to change the increasingly unstable direction of humanity.

3. Reach out to partner. Experts, leaders, volunteers, and influencers in psychology, science, religion, spirituality, etc please connect via the contact form here.
4. Cause marketing is an effective way to spread a message and have positive impact. With other projects I have developed, I have found apparel to be an effective tool to communicate a cause and move it forward. If a Symbol of Consciousness t-shirt would fit your preferences as a communication method, you can find one here. If cost is an issue, let me know as the purpose is not profit, but to circulate the cause, and proceeds are aimed at this purpose. For many of the designs, the intention is to bring another level of consciousness to specific real world issues without a bias politically, religiously, etc.
The 4Existence Mission
Primary
The primary aim of 4Existence is to help you connect the dots of your chosen approaches to human well-being to the common denominator of consciousness itself so that your desired self-transformation can become much more efficient. Whether you use methods of spirituality, religion, psychological therapy, self-help, personal development, or various related scientific approaches, 4Existence is meant to help you simplify your chosen path to self-transformation and well-being through an experiential understanding of consciousness itself.
4Existence’s free content and free Relatable Consciousness Program are the means to fulfill the goals of this primary mission.
Secondary
The secondary mission of 4Existence is to communicate the message around the significance of consciousness itself on as broad of a scale as possible. In a world plagued by fear, hate, division, violence, and war, it is paramount that the shortage of this understanding be reversed. Many effective approaches to human well-being fail to understand or point out the significance of consciousness itself directly. Yet doing so can have profound impact on the individual, as well as bring clarity and unity where confusion and division exist.
4Existence’s Symbol of Consciousness and partnership network with leaders and organizations in psychology, spirituality, and science are the means to fulfill the goals of this secondary mission.
About The Symbol’s Creator
For more than 30 years I have been on a journey of self-driven introspection, meditation, and philosophical exploration, which has led to a consistent experience of deep, unwavering peace along with a powerful blossoming of creative and productive energy.
A byproduct of this journey, filled with both extreme challenge and beauty, was a simplified understanding of what previously seemed to be a complex transformational process. I also noticed that it related very clearly to a little-known common denominator of the most effective psychological, spiritual, and scientific approaches to human well-being.
As an intimately connected aspect of this journey, my life and career has been filled with many creative projects in art, writing, and entrepreneurship.
4Existence is my way of combining these experiences and skills to reach as many people as possible with a simple message about how to simplify their chosen paths of self-transformation, whether or not that path is psychological, spiritual, scientific, or some combination thereof.
