AWAKENING CONSCIOUSNESS: The Sun/ Light:
" When we avoid recognition of our own sleepy state, we can never awaken. The only one who can awaken is the one who recognizes he is asleep, because if you think you are awake, then why would you try to change?
We need to learn how to pay attention, we need to remember ourselves, we awaken only when we realize we are sleeping, and to realize we are sleeping requires that we awaken, to be aware of ourselves, to remember that we are consciousness within a physical body.
Fascination, identification, daydreaming happens because we forget ourselves, we become absorbed in dreams, in fantasies.
By training the consciousness to be attentive and aware, we have to fight from moment to moment. We have to observe the observer, though it's exhausting, these are muscles that we have to develop, muscles that are very difficult to strengthen. We strengthen these muscles by constantly observing the observer and by meditating.
Meditation is the main exercise & practice we use to develop consciousness, the practice in which we first learn to concentrate, then to imagine, and thirdly, to comprehend.
You can get assistance. You can get clues, but ultimately, you have to teach yourself. You cannot rely on anything or anyone, only your own consciousness.
By studying ourselves, we learn. To awaken consciousness is to observe. The longing to know God, the longing to experience the truth, is a longing of the consciousness or the Buddha nature, the essence. That is our primary purpose of existence, to reunite with God. It has to be fed with practical experience, (observing self & meditating). That's how we balance heart and mind with consciousness.
There is a longing also of the Buddhata which comes through the mind, the longing to understand why life is the way it is, the laws that manage the planets and suns, why we have a physical body, why we die.
If we just stimulate those longings in the heart and mind but we do not practice, we will remain outside of the door of Gnosis - Knowledge.
The Gods were human beings, human beings who developed themselves and became perfect, like Jesus, like Buddha. We call them "Gods" because they have powers that the terrestrial human cannot even conceive, but which lay dormant, nestled within our very atoms, within our very structure.
All our spiritual traditions & religion exist in order to indicate and point the way for each person to develop that on their own, inside. In other words we seek light, to become a transmitter of light, to emit light, but light is consciousness, perception, reality. Wherever you find light, you find consciousness.
This is not a theory, this is not an idea: this is palpable, this is something you have to taste, you have to experience. You have to create the causes which produce the effects. Believing in it will not help you, rejecting it will not help you. One has to experiment, to work.
To awaken the consciousness is to accumulate light, to begin to see new things. The doorway to that is the third state of consciousness that we call Self-remembering, but the Self is the Real Self, the Being, the One who Is, our own Spirit, our own God, our own Divine Mother, the divinity that rests within us and that has given us existence, but whom we have forgotten.
And this is why spiritual aspirants learn concentration practices, how to follow a mantra, how to visualize, how to imagine. These are training exercises. They are preliminary exercises, which develop the capacity to remain in the third state of consciousness, the self-remembering.
Meditation is the most potent tool for the development of that state of consciousness, but not just preliminary concentration practices, the levels of perception which exist beyond mere concentration. Concentration is the beginning; meditation is the door itself.
'To be or not to be' - to be asleep or to be awake???
When one learns how to be, to be present, to be attentive, to abandon the stale process of thinking, to abandon the identification with subjective emotion, to abandon the enslavement of sensations, one can Be. Therein lies peace, knowledge, and understanding.
Christ is called the Sun, the light of the world, the solar light. The Sun is a vehicle of the Christic force. Consciousness is light.
The Sun, Ram, Aries, the beginning of 12 potentialities, 12 Apostles, the capacity to withstand persecution, to withstand criticism, to withstand attacks, to be true to oneself, to one's Being with CONSCIOUSNESS.
These twelve powers are potentialities which we have to develop. In other words, just as the zodiac exists in the macrocosmic universe in space around us, it exists within. We have that zodiac within our own universe in miniature or the microcosm: as above, so below. We are a reflection of that, which is why the Oracle of Delphi said: 'Man know thyself, and thou shalt know the universe and its Gods'. " - Glorian
