Revealed... the REAL question!! .....?

While you describe a state of consciousness, I think that the real question is the translation of consciousness into action or inaction to reflect who we are. In other words, you define who you are by making choices to determine outcomes. By being pive or inaction, you can determine a calculated outcome that requires you to do nothing. Otherwise, you can be active and try to influence the outcome. Churchill once said that for evil to win, all it takes is for good men to do nothing. Both choices, reflect the type of person you are. Will you allow a bully to pick on a child if you see this in the street? Will you pull somebody out of the way of a car? Will you work extra hard to lose a few pounds? All of our actions or inactions determine who we choose to be and are reflected in our behavior. Perhaps a better question is why do we choose to do the wrong thing in our actions when we know what the right thing is? Then it will be "to be or not to be, even if I disagree."
