All our deeds, emotions, thoughts, creeds – and whatever else we are trying to relate ourselves with – are expression of consciousness which thus exercises its possibilities in order to realize itself.

Wrong. Ego does all this.
Consciousness IS realized. It does not need any other realization.
Everything is perfect as it is.

I agree consciousness is realized....But isn't ego an "expression" of consciousness?

No. Ego is acquired. Consciousness is presence. In everything. Look at it as a motive force of everything. Organizational principle. What makes everything tick.
Child is born without an ego. This is why Jesus said - when you become like small child, only then you can enter the kingdom of god. There is deep wisdom to this.
Child is born without an ego, then acquires it. Family. Society. They all want ego to develop. Ego is safe.

If the time/space of consciousness is Here/Now, past & future aspects are fragments – or random events – of consciousness.
