What are examples of high consciousness activities?

[Elshaddai]

I want to pursue higher levels of consciousness and so far I only found meditation and arguably psychedelics to help with this.

what are some other things I can do to raise consciousness?

these exercises Seem like good thing to try out. although i'm an athiest personally so I have my doubts about the value of Islamic prayer and prayer in general.

Pursue your passion. Develop in the field you're passionate about.

@Elshaddai  why are you an atheist?  You need to question your atheistic worldview seriously.  Do you think the universe just came to existence by pure chance or coincidence? Its like saying there is a video game which has no designer or developer..it just built itself from nothing . You think this whole miraculous existence..the galaxies...the sun ..the stars ..all of the universe just jumped into being without a cause? 

Islamic prayer is the most powerful spiritual practice you can do imo. Google it or watch Mecca live channel and watch Muslims performing it . It just puts you into a marvellous connection with God or the highest source very very powerfully. 

If it doesn't resonate with you ..then try classic meditation. 

Good luck !

Even more simple: shitting mindfully

[UnbornTao]

Anything done mindfully and with attention works.

It's about you being conscious, looking into stuff, rather than the activity bringing you consciousness. You could start by asking what's in front of you (in your experience), like: What is this emotion? 

Wash the dishes, walk, play, write, do Tai Chi, cook.

If you imagine all causal relations to be analogous to a piece of elastic fabric in the wind, somewhat subject to the winds power, somewhat subject to its own, but always strong enough to maintain its own continuity both throughout and in the end, thus never tearing, and see yourself balancing between powers just like that piece of fabric then you will know better what you are asking when you find an answer to what high consciousness should be.

 

Acceptance and responsibility over yourself in the unique way that only you who experience these "powers" could, and this is only done by knowing how far you can stretch, what your fibres are made of.

See a lot, test yourself.

I am an athiest agnostic simply because i have never experienced god, so i don't see the point in believing something without any concrete evidence(the bible/Quran/other holy book doesn't count).

Is it true to say that suffering always leads to higher consciousness?

I have definitely been guilty of that lol, still haven't found god yet though.

I think you gave great advice here, the activity I'm doing doesn't seem to matter as much as the consciousness/awareness/mindfulness i bring to any given activity.

and yet I'm sure some activities are more conducive to generating higher states of consciousness, such as meditation and is what i'm looking to do more of.

Certainly not.

Conscious suffering leads to higher consciousness.

This is basically God. God is uncaused.

What does it mean to suffer consciously? does it mean to apply awareness and mindfulness to my suffering?

Can you prove that statement to me?
