What else could they be... but conscious?

Every Atom or Fraction of Energy
is
aware of itself
as well as conscious of
All other Aspects of itself for All is One.

Consciousness... Mind or Thought
is
The Knowledge Information Structure
that lives within
its own Creation or Manifestation
and is united within its own Awareness.

So at all Times and at all Places
or
within all manifested planes of creation
Consciousness
is aware of itself as One Being.

We are this One Being or Consciousness.
