Consciousness: merging of opposites

Unveiling of the mysteries and all secrets of human race is revealed through the self-experience extending into the world. All transmutations matter has undergone during the last two centuries are obviously the work of human consciousness. The discussions about this consciousness occur in several texts. Here I look it basically from Indian philosophy. Later western thinking is also used to merge both to have a better outlook. The Upanisadic consideration is the main area of study. Consciousness though emerged or known in the context of tradition also calls for a move out of the tradition and authority. Consciousness is not known or unknown, then how we know it. There a different dimensional approach is needed, which is not defined but spontaneous.
