About Mind - Part: 1

Thought is the very essence of unlimited potential. It is consciousness bringing forth its nature (life force) into pliable, visible form, in order to experience what it is. The unconscious mind does not form thoughts, it vibrates feeling, the conscious mind in turn, creates a form around the flow of the vibration/feeling, creating parts and parcels of the vibration into thought forms. And so, thought follows vibration, creating or manifesting itself. Energy does not follow thought; energy is encapsulated within a thought form, manifesting a viewable form. This is subjectivity. Subjectivity is an impression that is manifested into a form.

 

Thought is consciousness manifesting itself. Everything that we are, everything that we experience is first a feeling, then its housed into a thought, which gives it definition, which becomes a visible expression. All is feeling that manifests itself through consciousness. It is unconsciousness manifesting itself. Consciousness is the ‘see-able’ movement of vibration/feeling/sensation. Consciousness is realization; realization is understanding through experience. Consciousness is the movement from no-movement or the unconscious mind. They are but one and the same. In the deepest depths of the unconscious mind is the unknowable unknown. It is darkness that moves not, and yet it does. It is within these deepest recesses of the unconscious mind, that consciousness is formulated. It is within the unfathomable depths of the unknown that lie beyond the deep recesses, that one truly remembers.

 

The conscious mind experiences all that it is, it formulates and demonstrates all viable forms of existence. Then the conscious mind inverts upon itself, (for all external avenues of movement have been taken) and follows its vibrations/feeling/sensation into the depths of itself. It is here that the true dark night of the soul resides. It is here they find the dark parceled pieces of self that have operated fully in their existence that they understood not. In this aspect of self, one circulates through all their feelings. All must begin the journey into the negative aspects of self, for they are the true receptors of self. They are the aspects that drive men to seek. For in their deepest empty void, lie the seed of the question/answer.

 

The divine negative energies are the fertilized possibilities that await its conscious self, to spring forth the seed of divine wisdom. As the conscious self penetrates its dark unknowns, the thoughts that created them are seen, and expanded. The vibration that was housed in a thoughts form is expanded back into the harmonic flow of self. As the thoughts are expanded and the harmonic flow begins flowing in ones awareness, the positives of self are revealed. The positive energies are the growth of the seed, from the darkness of its roots springs forth the head, heart, and eye of wisdom. There is no difference from the negative and positive energies, only that of transformation, from one to the other, starting first with the positives, that transformed into the negatives, (individuating) to once again impregnate itself with self, transforming into the all seeing eye. The conscious and unconscious mind, the negatives, and positives are only that of perception. One perception being that of sensation, (unconscious) The other being that of movement (consciousness).  When the two perceptions are expanded and brought back into the flow of self, pure consciousness emerges. Pure consciousness is simply pure existence, and knowing that you ARE. And so the seed, the void, the conscious and unconscious minds are the seed of existence experiencing it’s existence. The seed, the created, returns to its creator, nestled in the bosom of itself, and the true heart, mind, and eye merge into the omnipotent that it is.

Thought is the conscious mind reflecting the unconscious mind that reflects pure consciousness. (Thought is vibration enfolding unto itself. It’s the breath, encapsulated by the word, that was issued from pure consciousness) in this being so, there are no illusions, distortions, lies, or truths. What is being reflected is pure existence experiencing itself.

 

The negatives that one feels, the emptiness they hold within themselves, are but the vessels of receptiveness. Each individuated ego is the Holy Grail, all unto themselves and knows it not. Their brim runneth over with the manifested waters of self. It spills out, yet never empties, onto and into all that they are. They are the tears of emptiness, and the tears of joy, they are the waters of self, and the emotions that know themselves not,  they are the thoughts that bind them to the waters, and in every movement they experience all that they are.

 

The positives that one feels are the potentials of self, everlasting, and all encompassing. They are the light of self, that walk into the darkness of self, merging themselves (light and dark) into the sea of self. Once merged they exist no more, and yet they do. They exist in the vast knowledge that they ARE, being fully developed potential expressing itself no more, for potentiality then knows, that it exits, simply through experiencing its existence.

About the Silent Witness

 

 

In my last meditation I found and experienced the silent witness, or the calm observer. From what I was shown this calm observer is the dreamer who watches his dream. This aspect of consciousness is totally aware of itself and completely un-attached to its movements of feelings and thoughts. It just observes. This consciousness impedes nothing, and from this point of calmly observing it sent forth its consciousness into its movement of experiencing. So the calm observer is the dreamer and the dream. It is like the calm observer sent forth an aspect of itself to become an active experience of consciousness. All the planes of existence are the process of the dreamer becoming his dream. The silent witness is consciousness that stands in the centerline of the unconscious mind and conscious mind. It is aware of its totality and it breathes into itself the sensations of the unconscious mind and breathes it out into the movement of conscious experience, then it just observes. The calm observer is the consciousness of the unconscious that can perceive itself. So there are many levels of the silent witness, to that of the physical where we observe our surroundings, and observe our feelings and thoughts, to observing our inner selves, to observing our spiritual natures until we come to our first witnessing of self.

I also experienced the awareness of the unconscious mind. I can’t explain it very well, but the best words I can think of is that it has an awareness totality different then consciousness it is aware of its totality without any feelings or thoughts. Where as consciousness is totality aware of its feelings and thoughts yet un-attached to them, ( I’m talking about the higher aspects of consciousness) it seems that each aspect starts from a point of calmly observing itself to becoming what it observes. It’s much like the unconscious mind aware its sensations, that became consciousness, that could then observe its unconscious sensations, then bring the sensations into itself then expressing it with the movement of feeling/thought, who then merged into what it observed to manifest it.

 Upon seeing this, it brought to my awareness the function of existing all at once, how consciousness shifted in consciousness yet always being the same. So within our being is our totality reflecting our totality. Each and every aspect of consciousness within its limited form of thought/feeling reflects perfectly how consciousness ‘shifts’ in consciousness. Our physical experience and every minute aspect of that experience is a reflection of its totality. One can take just one feeling/thought and follow its creation into existence and follow it to its expansion and in this pathway of just one tiny thought all knowledge of self is held. For how it becomes and how it creates and how it unfolds follows the original first cause. It’s the pattern for all existence.

There is a silent witness to every pattern, the silent witness, or calm observer is just an aspect of consciousness that observes itself, fully un-attached to what it observes. So every pattern starts with the observation of self that shifts its consciousness into what it observes, becoming what it observes and ceasing the observance of self, and becoming attached to what it experiences. I understand better what I wrote about the ego being the experience and the one who experiences. The ego is totally attached to what it feels/thinks, this attachment personalizes what it thinks/feels that shifts consciousness from it totality to individuality. The ego, this human experience is the sum total of pure consciousness experiencing itself, and that is why we the ego are the ones who must expand our consciousness or ‘shift’ our consciousness back to pure consciousness. It has to be expanded from this point for we are the point of totality, condensed. This is why we have to travel through all parts of ourselves before we can expand back to all that we are. And expansion cannot occur until a pattern has been fully traversed in feeling/thought. Every person, place, thing is within its cycle of experience and it cannot be expanded until its traveled through all its experiences. This explains why we can work with someone and then all of a sudden hit a ‘barrier’ and they seem to be stuck and can no longer expand. They just haven’t traveled through all the cycles of a certain pattern of experience.

 So, there seems to be a universal silent witness, or calm observer that is, was and shall always be and in our daily practices of being a silent witness we shift our consciousness back into the ONE silent witness from whence we came. And it is this universal aspect of consciousness that expands into pure consciousness.

Well I must ponder on this a bit more. I look forward to hearing from you.

With much love
