Abstract: Environment of a person over a period of time influence his domain of social activities and generate certain level of positive and negative mental tendencies. The net algebraic effect of these tendencies is considered as a measure of reflection on consciousness level in the material world of reality. The present paper explores the reflection of human activities on the development of consciousness level in terms of positive and negative mental tendencies. The observed subjective information existing in a human frame of cognition of the sample considered for the study has been utilized to develop a simple ANN neuronal model to predict consciousness level of large number of population. A questionnaire identifying the state of a person in four selected human activities viz. social, personal, official and spiritual were designed. The people who were asked to meditate also showed high degree of consciousness after the stipulated period in comparison with those who didnt.
