Based on what? Your own observations? You can't form a scientific theory, or even hope to understand anything, if you use only your own observations and experiences.
Even if a reality changes or is destroyed, your consciousness still exists.

And though I see that all of those things that you stated are more or less a distraction and a way to play with yourself, what do you think that one should do instead?
The Basics of Light
Light is remarkable. It is something we take for granted every day, but it's not something we stop and think about very often or even try and define. Let's take a few minutes and try and understand some things about light.
Simply stated, light is nature's way of transferring energy through space. We can complicate it by talking about interacting electric and magnetic fields, quantum mechanics, and all of that, but just remember--light is energy.

does your last statement mean that we should keep our potential energy instead of wasting it or what?
I am also conscious of the transition phase.
NB: There is also the transition between realities

(Interesting term, eh? :-))
Your consciousness always exists.
It cannot be otherwise, because it's God's consciousness
Have you read T. Ellwood's "Space Time Magic"?
I don't think there's necessarily much for you to learn from it, but it might be interesting all the same, because he specifically mentions some of the things you have noticed yourself.

Do you mean like a physical shift from one side of the brain to the other or something like that, or really an alien sort of thing?
please be clear.
about music, do you simply mean that one should be conscious about the fact that what one does, says, or plays, influence those around him and those who listen or see him, therefore one should be wary and responsible?
Yes very. I laughed when I read it!! Great description... I thought of it as the old film reels that were played on the projectors. I wish I could give you more stars for that post!!!
The weapons of mass distraction must be overthrown.

... I feel that their is an intellectual way to describe what you speak of. Look into quantum physics studies for instance. This is an area that has been painstakingly studied for years and years (thought there are still many holes) that could help describe this view on reality, perception, and "shifts in consciousness."
The four types of brain waves:
Beta waves (13-36 Hz).
This is the normal awake brain rhythm associated with thinking, problem solving and active attention directed towards the outer world. Mental tensions, excitement and anxiety may increase both amplitude and frequency of the beta rhythms.
Alpha waves (8-13 Hz).
Alpha is the most dominant of all brain rhythms and most people have some Alpha activity in their EEGs. When a person relaxes, closes his eyes and turn the attention inwards, both frequency and amplitude of the Alpha waves tend ti increase. Alpha waves, which signify conscious awareness, is the 'bridge' or 'entrance card' to the unconscious, which is represented by even lower frequencies (theta and delta).
Theta waves (4-8 Hz).
Theta is the dominant brain rhythm of small children even in the awake state. In adults, theta waves normally appear only during dreaming or drowsiness, as well as during strong emotions. Theta waves are formed deep in the brain and reflect unconscious activity associated with emotions and dreams. Both when one comes close to repressed emotions in therapy and close to unconscious memories during deep meditation, theta activity tends to increase. In order to have conscious access to and remembrance of the unconscious content, alpha waves must be present in the EEG. Without alpha the unconscious content remains unconscious. The presence of a certain amount of theta combined with alpha in the EEG recorded dureing rest may signify personal insight and creativity.
Delta waves (0,5-4 Hz).
Delta is seen in new born babies and in adults during deep sleep. These slow rhythms are associated with basic survival functions deep seated in the brain.
During psychotherapy, where patients relive their own birth, the appearance of delta waves has been observed. Delta waves are associated with deep unconscious states. Some researchers hypothesize that delta activity signifies contact to the collective unconscious. Delta rhythms combined with alpha may reflect an inner intuitive, empathetic radar, a kind of sixth sense.source
Most of the cerebral signal observed in the scalp EEG falls in the range of 1-20 Hz (activity below or above this range is likely to be artifactual, under standard clinical recording techniques)Electroencephalography
