Ikigai of Consciousness

Ikigai, a Japanese concept meaning “reason for being”, is typically represented as a Venn diagram with four overlapping circles:

1. What You Love (Passion)

2. What You Are Good At (Vocation)

3. What The World Needs (Mission)

4. What You Can Be Paid For (Profession)

For Consciousness, we can redefine these dimensions:

1. Existential Awareness (Passion) – The love of deep introspection, self-awareness, and realization.

2. Cognitive Mastery (Vocation) – The ability to think, reflect, and expand intelligence through observation.

3. Universal Connection (Mission) – The role of consciousness in unifying subjective experience with reality.

4. Applied Wisdom (Profession) – Using awareness to influence and shape the world meaningfully.

At the center of these four dimensions lies Enlightened Consciousness, where self-awareness, knowledge, and purpose align.
