HERMETIC  - ESOTERIC - MYSTICAL PHILOSOPHIES

"Know Thyself" - Part: 2

Essay by Dianah Beattie

I thought I would share with you my recent inspired thoughts and feelings. My soul seems to be directing my attention and experiences to that of thought forms, and to their creation, as well as 'un-creating' them. I thought I would list the definitions of what I understand certain words to imply to aid in the understanding of what I share. Thought; a line of focus that defines an impulse, it limits perception creating 'conditionings' (the creative force of the soul aspect, the thinker of our thoughts) (can also be referred too, the positives, the male energies, the mind, intellect, will) Feeling; the inner consciousness of a thought form, its impulse, movement, intuitive sensing (the creative force of spirit, our intuition) (can also be referred too, the negatives, the female energies, the heart, womb, impulse) Thought form; the impulse and will manifested into a viable and viable perception through the enfoldment of the will and impulse, with each enfoldment creating a layer or level of consciousness within the 'idea' bringing forth patterns of experiences. (the manifested, and active creative forces, the vessel of expression, man) Harmony; consciousness intuitively aware of all that it is without thought. The pure reflection of non-movement as movement, the sound from no sound (can be referred too as, the womb, mother, void, bliss, cool calm darkness, the unknown, unconscious awareness etc.) (this is also the horizontal wavy line, or primordial waters) The will; the line of focus creating definition, without feeling or form. (can be referred to as the Father, bright light, conscious awareness etc., this is also the vertical straight line, or pure thought) The universal self, or Cosmic Christ; the creative forces of the impulse and will as one force, (the center of the cross, where the vertical line of pure thought intersects the wavy line or impulse, creating a circle and the four points of manifestation, The active conscious movement of the creative forces) It is the circle within the circle or the first manifestation of a subjective thought form, it is the inner consciousness of the first idea, created by the impulse 'touching' (becoming aware) its line of thought and enfolding its definition within its impulse, merging the will and impulse into active creativity (the heart and mind). It is 'know thy self (will) and its reflection 'I know not' (impulse), it is the seed or the knowing within its unknown, or the question within the answer etc...Hierarchy; the levels of consciousness created by each enfoldment of the will into the impulse creating the inner consciousness of an 'idea' (This is Jacobs ladder, or the involution and evolution of consciousness). The present; the same as harmony, the infinite and intuitive awareness of our totality. Aware of all conscious aspects as being that of one aspect and intuitively aware of all forms of consciousness and their expressions of the one, the state of just 'Being' and that of pure acceptance.

My higher self has been guiding me into pure thought, it is like harmony in the way of it being that which it is harmony is intuitive knowing and it just is, thought is pure thought (a focus) without form or intuitive knowing and it just is and it is their very reflecting or enfoldment that creates the experiencing of consciousness itself. The will creates a line of thought and this creates a field or vessel for potential expression. A line of thought is a definition that houses or defines the Impulse. The impulse now becomes as many vessels of expression an example of this would be like submerging a glass ball into the ocean, the glass ball now holds within it the water of the ocean, but this water cannot flow within its totality, it can only flow within the limits of the glass jar. With the water unable to flow in it totality and only able to flow within its definition it becomes as its definition the glass jar and what it holds now becomes a vessel of expression it is a form that now holds 'something within it, it becomes as two ideas a vessel, and its contents, and yet it is always within the ocean, filled with the ocean, moves with the ocean and always as the ocean, but it knows this not. The ocean holds within it infinite pieces of salt (the knowledge of itself), and so it is the salt within the water, and contained by the jar (line of thought, definition) that manifests and becomes as individualized perception.

Man is the 'jar' (line of thought), our 'feelings' are the inner conscious movement (impulse) and our emotions are the manifested blending of our thoughts/impulse into creative active intelligence/perception. Our conscious minds are the will, or the line of focus that have defined our impulse into infinite parcels of knowing, or into infinite thought forms.

Lets take me for example. I am one form, housing within me infinite forms or aspects of what make me, me. Each aspect is within a definition that is moved by its inner impulse. Each aspect has become what they think they are (their definition) and they can only move, or exist and express this definition. For example; my heart is perceived as just an organ that has a function and purpose. My heart works within this definition and it performs as its definition. My heart is constructed of many atoms; each atom holds within it its totality. But as the atoms colligate into the form of a heart, they become as the heart, they become its definition and it now operates within its inner consciousness (impulse defined). My heart being just one aspect of me, affects the whole of me, as well as being effected by the other aspects of me. So lets say that my heart is working just fine and moving within its definition and is harmonious with the many other aspects of me. But as I go about my life I have to experience all that I have defined myself to be, so lets say I have defined myself as being lonely and without love. Over the course of my life I experience many ways to enforce this self definition, and with each experience I add more focus to it I begin to 'become' that which I think and with each thought added to my original thought, it will move to the appropriate area of my body. So, my heart is whole and harmonious, working within its definition and as I experience my aspect of no love, my very thoughts will move into my heart. This thought now moves into the hearts definition and if I add many thoughts to it, the inner impulse will begin to create it. My heart will begin to not work harmonious with the rest of my body, it will slowly isolate itself into its new definition, and eventually my heart will cease to work within it original definition and I will then have heart problems.

When we encounter any definition or line of thought, we will always encounter some form of 'discomfort'. This is the impulse unable to flow within its totality, and becoming aware of its line of thought that defines it. Herein comes the importance of observing through detachment. As long as we ignore, turn away from or in anyway deny that which we feel, think, or sense, we will always exist within our definitions and keep experiencing them in infinite ways. Our very existence is to 'know thyself', in order to truly know thyself we have to know that which defines us. We have to become aware of our creations and cease its creative movement so we can move into its inner consciousness and expand the very line of thought that defines it, and to allow the impulse to flow within its totality.

First we must become aware of our creative forces, our emotions that perpetuate our experiences. Then we must quiet the emotions through observing them, in observing we are detached from them, and we do not move into and become that which we observe. Through this state of detachment we can then become aware of the impulse that has been defined or the inner
consciousness of a thought when entering into the inner consciousness the line of thought or the definition can also be known we enter into the very 'thinker' of the thought or its impulse by entering into the inner consciousness, we also experience it, through experiencing it we then know it, in knowing it we can understand it, and in understanding it, it is then accepted, and it is through total acceptance that a line of thought and its impulse are released into its totality. For with total acceptance no more thought or definition is place upon the impulse, and it no longer has to create its definition, for the definition no longer exists within ones consciousness as a creative force, and one can just BE.

All that we are has to be known, this is the statement 'know thyself', what we are to know is our very self-creations. We are to know our lines of thought that define our inner impulse that creates a conscious aspect that exists within an individualized definition. This starts with the personality, with each thought expanded ones awareness flows into the higher consciousness, until one expands into harmony (via the soul, spirit, universal mind) and intuitively knows itself infinitely without definition for the impulse flows within its wholeness.

In order for this process to manifest, one must first develop their intellectual minds, and experiences all lines of thought through the various levels of consciousness. One must intellectually be aware of the higher consciousnesses, and then one must move through the thoughts that individualize the impulse creating the perception of being separate. As they expand their lines of definition into the higher consciousness it must then be experienced for it is through the intellect that a potential is made aware of, it is through the heart that this potential is expressed/felt, then it is known, then it can be understood and accepted releasing the higher consciousnesses into its higher awareness.

True acceptance does not manifest without understanding. So one can accept the worlds conditions, or the things that happen to them, and give them no thought, but these things are not fully understood, or seen as the creative forces of the perceivers inner realities. They are viewed as things that just occur, not realizing that every perceiver is a co-creator of every experience. All experiences must be brought into the heart for the inner consciousness of each experience to be understood and released into its totality.

The words thought, feeling, emotions, are also the same as the will, impulse, experience, or spirit, soul, man, or Mother, Father, son.. It's the triad of creation and so what has been used before to describe this process, is to 'ignore the physical, fuse with the soul, and enter into bliss'. But this only opens the MIND to its potential, and it only the opens the heart half way for if we float within the waters paying no attentions to the infinite jars that float within its current, we will always encounter the jars, we will forever try to not 'see' them, and they will forever exist within the water but when we bring each encounter into our hearts and release its inner contents back into the flow of its totality, then the heart is fully open we will then be able to see the 'jars' as not but jars, but as expression and totally accept all that they are.

This is of the new energies of Aquarius, the water bearer releasing his jar of water freeing the impulse from its line of thought and allowing it to flow within its totality.

Well, these are the concepts that have been flowing into my awareness I look forward to hearing your comments, insights or thoughts regarding them.
