| it. Your total consciousness knows it; your fragmented consciousness does not. Try to connect with your inner | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| in order to fully understand the topic. Fragmented consciousness is a result of the total consciousness spreading | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| Fragmented consciousness is a result of the total consciousness spreading and filling every nook and cranny of | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| limitless wisdom and love, but although your outer consciousness is connected with the essence, it ignores this | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| You seem to be an isolated piece of consciousness. This is what makes life appear so frightening | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| life appear so frightening and why your outer consciousness is blindly groping its way back to its | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| its connection with the total self. Your outer consciousness will eventually gain awareness of this connection, because | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| from the vantage point of the limited outer consciousness. The task of every fragmented, apparently disconnected aspect | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| task of every fragmented, apparently disconnected aspect of consciousness is to realize its true identity and connection | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| later in this lecture. The fragmented aspects of consciousness, of divine light, which seem to have lost | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| Whatever word you choose, the fragmented aspect of consciousness needs purification on many levels, such as feeling | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| You are all total entities, but your manifest consciousness, with which you identify, is an aspect that | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| only when the fragmented aspect of your manifest consciousness makes itself compatible with the nature of the | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| itself compatible with the nature of the total consciousness. Life, in its broader sense, is greatly concerned | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| greatly concerned with the process of spreading divine consciousness and reuniting apparently disconnected aspects. There are many | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| understanding, more suited to your human state of consciousness? I will explain it so that you can | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| out, as it were, into the realm of consciousness commensurate with its own state. And that is | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| is the expression of the limited state of consciousness of the disconnected aspect -- the personality -- | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| the great plan, in which every aspect of consciousness plays an important role. As the physical life | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| will experience death as glorious. That state of consciousness will make life fearless because there is nothing | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| whispers of the inner being in their outer consciousness. The personality then attempts to squelch this voice | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| to heed the guidance of the inner, divine consciousness, and decides to rationalize and follow the line | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| because it seems senseless and arbitrary. The outer consciousness will then struggle against death without realizing that | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| against death without realizing that its greater total consciousness has chosen the best solution under the prevailing | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| infinitely greater than powers available to the outer consciousness. But under other circumstances the struggle may continue | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| you weaken the bridge that allows the energies, consciousness and the currents of eternal life to infuse | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| the bridge. That is the inexorable law. Separated consciousness must discover its own potential to change direction | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| use the already manifest connection with the eternal consciousness to open the mind to more and more | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| you can form the connection with your greater consciousness and then increasingly infuse it with the consciousness | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| consciousness and then increasingly infuse it with the consciousness and energy of your total being. This is | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| important in changing the tide, because the fragmented consciousness must find its way back on its own | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| establish the bridge, you increasingly allow your fragmented consciousness to be infused with the powerful energy of | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| life. Be in peace. 217. THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS Greetings, my dearest friends. Love, truth and blessings | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| I wish to deal with the phenomenon of consciousness which is so extremely difficult to explain to | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| human mind -- to the human state of consciousness. For the human state of consciousness is still | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| state of consciousness. For the human state of consciousness is still an extremely limited one. So, by | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| can lessen and you can increase your awareness. Consciousness permeates all being, all creation, all existence -- | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| is. In your dualistic realm, you speak of consciousness and energy as if they were two separate | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| they were two separate phenomena. This is incorrect. Consciousness is a creator of energy and energy must | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| a creator of energy and energy must contain consciousness -- various aspects of consciousness, perhaps variations of | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| energy must contain consciousness -- various aspects of consciousness, perhaps variations of consciousness, as well as degrees | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| -- various aspects of consciousness, perhaps variations of consciousness, as well as degrees. There is no physical | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| near as potent as the energy of direct consciousness. By this I mean the energy of thought | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| the painful, confusing and limited state of dualistic consciousness only when you see beyond the either/or and | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| pass into a deeper and wider state of consciousness, in which you comprehend beyond the limited dualistic | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| thinking. How can knowledge, knowing -- which is consciousness -- be unfeeling? Even unfeeling knowing, what you | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| although they may not recognize these feelings. So, consciousness is always a feeling, an energy manifestation, whether | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| strong energy movements and results in affect. Therefore consciousness must be one with energy. In the average | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| yourself, as you stop acting out. States of consciousness can roughly be differentiated into the following three | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| its particular lawfulness. These states are states of consciousness, but not states of self-consciousness. Take for example | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| its own in-built plan. Only its now slumbering consciousness could create that plan, could create the imprint | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| This requires an immensely intelligent plan that only consciousness could fabricate. Something like this cannot happen by | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| disconnection of inanimate matter is only temporarily frozen consciousness, as I explained in a recent lecture on | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| of creation and the psychic nuclear points. When consciousness creates in a certain direction, the life spark | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| human eye. However, beings whose expanded state of consciousness makes them capable of perceiving more than the | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| aspect within inanimate matter which has no manifest consciousness. But such beings can also perceive the consciousness | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| consciousness. But such beings can also perceive the consciousness content within this potent energy, the consciousness contained | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| the consciousness content within this potent energy, the consciousness contained within the outwardly dead material. What does | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| within the outwardly dead material. What does such consciousness say when it is aslumber? It may say | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| a creative nucleus -- a statement made by consciousness, by deliberate choice and disposition. This statement brings | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| in action, matter itself can be used by consciousness for life-affirming and positive purposes. Free consciousness can | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| by consciousness for life-affirming and positive purposes. Free consciousness can thus communicate with the life-substance and consciousness | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| consciousness can thus communicate with the life-substance and consciousness within the hardened matter. I give you this | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| can gain some concept about the fact that consciousness exists even within inanimate objects. Your scientists today | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| to ascertain that the same holds true about consciousness. Consciousness within inanimate objects is reachable by the | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| ascertain that the same holds true about consciousness. Consciousness within inanimate objects is reachable by the much | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| reachable by the much stronger and more active consciousness of the human mind, though to a lesser | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| mind, though to a lesser degree than the consciousness within plants, animals, or other human beings. Matter | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| still malleable and can be impressed by human consciousness. Since consciousness is capable of inventing and creating | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| and can be impressed by human consciousness. Since consciousness is capable of inventing and creating, it can | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| these objects -- molds the energy, and contained consciousness, like inanimate matter, receives the imprints of a | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| imprints of a directing, stronger, and more connected consciousness, and fuses with it in certain definite ways | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| need fulfills its task. Its innermost nucleus of consciousness that always seeks expression toward the divine, toward | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| are, can perceive the energy form and the consciousness expression of the most inanimate objects. Such an | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| so that it must become a reactor. Its consciousness content is still too limited to be more | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| with its extremely limited, small inner nucleus of consciousness that is just geared to respond and react | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| them, and they respond accordingly. The separation of consciousness that you experience is therefore a very debatable | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| fact that the whole universe is permeated with consciousness, this is indeed a truth. Separated organisms, objects | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| started to speak about the three stages of consciousness. I dwelled for a long time on the | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| for a long time on the first state: consciousness without self-awareness. Animals, plants, minerals, and inanimate matter | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| show that nothing exists that does not contain consciousness. It is of course much easier to see | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| thoughts, attitudes, actions and responses. This state of consciousness, by virtue of its expanded awareness, finds many | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| blind and more limited state. The state of consciousness below the threshold of self-awareness cannot make choices | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| very obvious that within the human state of consciousness, of self-awareness, there are many, many degrees and | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| to them. There are other human beings whose consciousness is already far more developed. They know quite | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| encouragement. There are of course many degrees of consciousness in-between these two categories. However, even those human | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| two categories. However, even those human beings whose consciousness is least developed are aware that they exist | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| between them and the highest-developed animal state of consciousness. The latter may have some awakening power of | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| does not exist in the lower states of consciousness. As in many areas of development, there is | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| self-determination, a self-propelling initiative. The human state of consciousness is in time. It is therefore not in | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| of being, but with a high degree of consciousness. This third state is the highest state of | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| of the three. We might call it universal consciousness, or perhaps cosmic consciousness. That is beyond the | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| might call it universal consciousness, or perhaps cosmic consciousness. That is beyond the human state. In that | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| there is no separation. In that state of consciousness all is known. The innermost self is known | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| of being is known. In that state of consciousness you live in a state of being. But | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| lack of awareness of the innate potency of consciousness as long as the soul is not purified | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| the framework of what I just mentioned. If consciousness could expand without the simultaneous expansion of the | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| deactivate these negative energy fields by changing the consciousness content in them. The first vital step here | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| friends, for you cannot aim directly at cosmic consciousness. It is the final state of expanded self-awareness | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| thinking mind is the potentiality to express God's consciousness any way you choose. And when your experience | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| discover the truth of the power of your consciousness by making the commitment now, again and again | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| stay behind. This is another aspect of awakening consciousness, and in that sense this lecture is also | 218 THE EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS |
| is also a sequel of the preceding one. Consciousness does not happen suddenly. It is rather a | 218 THE EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS |
| to something that has always been there. Awakening consciousness suddenly perceives psychic events, inner as well as | 218 THE EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS |
| between people and things, between individual and cosmic consciousness. Why has it always been there? Because time | 218 THE EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS |
| new perception will activate an aspect of your consciousness that is still slumbering: your power to perceive | 218 THE EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS |
| evolutionary process that exists within all aspects of consciousness, all entities and all organismic realities, as an | 218 THE EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS |
| the train continues its ride, but the ego consciousness has a choice. It can choose to go | 218 THE EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS |
| always succeed in sending its message to the consciousness, or the messages may be given in a | 218 THE EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS |
| awareness can be established only when your outer consciousness is willing to make the effort to overcome | 218 THE EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS |
| and goodwill toward a more perfected state and consciousness. These attributes are, of course, the original divine | 218 THE EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS |
| bring light into the void. Wherever your manifest consciousness has forgotten its connection and lost touch with | 218 THE EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS |
| universal laws, which apply to all states of consciousness and to all entities. They apply to those | 218 THE EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS |
| first law is that the further the inner consciousness is advanced in one's process -- or, to | 218 THE EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS |
| more you do this, the more exhilarated your consciousness and energetic system will become, the more joyful | 218 THE EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS |
| happen. At this time, in your realm of consciousness, you celebrate a symbolic event. You celebrate the | 219 CHRISTMAS MESSAGE -- MESSAGE TO THE CHILDREN |
| event. You celebrate the Christ-consciousness, or the divine consciousness deep within your own being. Most human beings | 219 CHRISTMAS MESSAGE -- MESSAGE TO THE CHILDREN |
| there is something within that surpasses the ordinary consciousness. This extraordinary consciousness, the sublime consciousness, must be | 219 CHRISTMAS MESSAGE -- MESSAGE TO THE CHILDREN |
| within that surpasses the ordinary consciousness. This extraordinary consciousness, the sublime consciousness, must be awakened within the | 219 CHRISTMAS MESSAGE -- MESSAGE TO THE CHILDREN |
| the ordinary consciousness. This extraordinary consciousness, the sublime consciousness, must be awakened within the course of the | 219 CHRISTMAS MESSAGE -- MESSAGE TO THE CHILDREN |
| particular time, when the birth of the Christ consciousness is celebrated, we shall talk about the event | 219 CHRISTMAS MESSAGE -- MESSAGE TO THE CHILDREN |
| be aflame within you to bring the total consciousness to its eternal glow on the outer level | 219 CHRISTMAS MESSAGE -- MESSAGE TO THE CHILDREN |
| birth of the Christ within, of the eternal consciousness that contains all there is. True strength, true | 219 CHRISTMAS MESSAGE -- MESSAGE TO THE CHILDREN |
| I will again speak about the phenomenon of consciousness, particularly in connection with the evolutionary process and | 220 REAWAKENING FROM PRE-INCARNATORY ANESTHESIA |
| you come out of infanthood, with a limited consciousness. The awakening is partial and gradual. As you | 220 REAWAKENING FROM PRE-INCARNATORY ANESTHESIA |
| plane are thoroughly discussed and assimilated, you lose consciousness. A person who undergoes an operation goes through | 220 REAWAKENING FROM PRE-INCARNATORY ANESTHESIA |
| evolutionary process, I discussed how the mass of consciousness spreads, filling the void. As it does so | 220 REAWAKENING FROM PRE-INCARNATORY ANESTHESIA |
| the void. As it does so, particles of consciousness lose themselves. The essential divine consciousness, in its | 220 REAWAKENING FROM PRE-INCARNATORY ANESTHESIA |
| particles of consciousness lose themselves. The essential divine consciousness, in its beauty, wisdom, and benign power, functions | 220 REAWAKENING FROM PRE-INCARNATORY ANESTHESIA |
| true freedom. Then each particle, each aspect of consciousness has brought forth its own minuscule Godness, so | 220 REAWAKENING FROM PRE-INCARNATORY ANESTHESIA |
| to listening and hearing. Now, the state of consciousness in humanity as a whole, because of mass | 220 REAWAKENING FROM PRE-INCARNATORY ANESTHESIA |
| eventually find your focus on another level of consciousness, which as you will suddenly discover has always | 220 REAWAKENING FROM PRE-INCARNATORY ANESTHESIA |
| enough to make your goodwill known to your consciousness in a general way. It must be specific | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| will be only light and life. Substances of consciousness and energy -- the two inseparable aspects of | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| byproducts of the separation. So these aspects of consciousness and energy, now individual entities, temporarily turn sour | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| must be struggle to reawaken divine matter, divine consciousness, divine energy. From all the beauty, creativity and | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| these expressions merely describe symbolically a state of consciousness that is very difficult to convey to a | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| that is very difficult to convey to a consciousness still immersed in a three-dimensional world. We from | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| and intensity of divine and evil manifestations exist. Consciousness and energy manifest separately in entities, in personalities | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| the most highly developed spheres and states of consciousness, the degree of goodness, brilliance of spirit or | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| are spheres of temporary reality and states of consciousness in which ugliness, brutality, cruelty, numbness, limitation of | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| around is very complicated or impossible to accomplish. Consciousness and energy always create substance, matter and form | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| and form according to their own nature. The consciousness and energy in these evil states are so | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| development, the higher and the lower states of consciousness and energy are equally imperceptible. In the lowest | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| so that the potent energy currents of the consciousness invert themselves and manifest in an equally potent | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| the ages, the distorted, inverted, separate piece of consciousness and energy, the separate personality, must be filed | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| aspect of that anti-God matter with its inverted consciousness and energy. You have brought it with you | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| where you often get confused and stuck. Your consciousness or personality must make many choices in this | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| in refusing total self- surrender to the divine consciousness and divine will within you, at every turn | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
