Theosophy posits that consciousness is a fundamental property of the cosmos, present in all entities, including inorganic matter. It differentiates between various levels of consciousness and emphasizes the distinction between general consciousness and self-consciousness, which is fully developed only in humans. Theosophy views consciousness as encompassing sentience and awareness, and it is described as a state beyond limitation, merging individuality with the whole in Nirvana.
