Simple as that.

Here's another attempt to eliminate all that spiritual woo woo nonsense and get straight to 'the point':

You are consciousness. Better yet, there is consciousness. Before, or prior, to anything else. Prior to any thought, prior to any feeling or sensation, prior to any belief, prior to perception, prior to experience. Prior to everything there is consciousness. The true nature. Actuality. The Absolute. 

And saying 'prior' is not exactly accurate, because it all exists simultaneously. Nevertheless, consciousness is the very source of it all. There is nothing beyond or outside of it. It is everything and nothing at once.

Of course, entertaining these thoughts or even attaining an understanding of it all, does not equal being directly conscious of 'it'. Of Source, of The Absolute...

You become 'more conscious' by recognizing yourself as consciousness before all else and then practice staying in that light. Not letting yourself getting lost in thoughts, emotions and experiences... but staying 'above it all'. Holding space for it all to unfold - so to speak.

You 'expand' or 'maximize' awareness by first becoming aware that you are aware. That you are conscious(ness). And then you stay there. You concentrate (on) awareness. Until awareness is all there is and 'all else' is seen as merely an extension of that awareness.

There are various methods, practices and techniques to 'get there', of course. What ways and methods you choose is up to you. There is only one true path in life; the road that leads to One, leads to all.

Simple as that.
