An excerpt from one of my analytical papers on  the nature of consciousness:
Consciousness, is an awareness;  however in its noumenon form it is a particular series of energetic  principals and patterns occurring in nature that we may understand as  “I” myself, and is not separate from our bodies and souls; however, is  of o...ur body, which is greater than mere physical  consideration, that exist in a conjoined relationship with our  environment and universe; inasmuch consciousness is the unifying factor  of self between what separatist logic deems as the body and as the  divine...
As noumenon is an archaic word predominately utilized  by Kantian philosophers, I will define it here as from the same paper.
Noumenon:  The aspect of reality that is the true form of the phenomenon, not  based on appearance but something greater and usually undetectable by  ordinary means. Or, The noumenon (from Greek νοούμενoν, present  participle of νοέω "I think, I mean"; plural: νοούμενα - noumena) is a  posited object or event that is independent of the senses. It  classically refers to an object of human inquiry, understanding or  cognition. As a concept it has much in common with objectivity, that  which is tangible but not perceivable; the reflection of phenomenon.
The  term is generally used in contrast with, or in relation to  "phenomenon", which refers to appearances, or objects of the senses. A  phenomenon can be an exceptional, unusual, or abnormal thing or  event—but it must be perceptible through the senses; A noumenon cannot  be the actual object that results in the phenomenon in question. Noumena  are objects or events known only to the mind - independent of the known  and ordinary senses. It may be further contrasted with the perception  and processing of a phenomenon in the human mind.
If you think  about the fact that we human beings utilize less than 10% of our brain  capacity, and many of us even less than that, there is yet another 90%  which is a potential or unseen. 
To also consider, briefly, what ancient Chinese philosophers called Tao  Te is most simply translated as The Way. The way that oceans wave, the  way that the sun shines, the way that birds migrate, the way of things  in their most natural state. What they were talking about was that  deeper sense of things, that Western philosophers call noumenon. I 
... See Morefind it even more interesting that Jesus  Christ, the "I am" also understood himself as "The Way". Perhaps that  because of the very nature of his Divinity was rooted in the source of  that which is the ultimate nature of God and God's way. How else would  the son of God be able to tell the world that he is indeed the Divine  one of prophesy than to describe himself "I Am" (the transcendentally  divine consciousness), and "I am The Way". Furthermore, he stated he is  The Way, The Truth, and The Light, all of which when considered in the  context of the noumenon would be ways that would best describe that the  truth central to the core of reality, that which is beyond existence,  that which is the noumenon itself.
