science of sciences” and it is conveyed here so that others may
gain such benefits that I and others have received. “Consciousness”
is it's name, and its' expansion is fundamental to all true progress.
The reason consciousness
is fundamental to all true progress is because it is the basis of
life, including every human life. In meditation and similar
practices where a state of “no-thought” prevails, certain truths
about the self may be readily Seen. Those who engage meditation soon
realize that we do not, “lose ourselves” when the mind is no
longer dominated by strings of words. This is because we are not
thought...thoughts are things that we DO not things that we ARE. On
the contrary, we consciously regain focus upon the true self which
underlies them....consciousness itself. That consciousness has three
fundamental components, which are; intent, awareness and energy, and
in that order of importance. All three of these components of the
true self, (aka “soul”) can be readily verified by any person who
earnestly seeks to know themselves.
Our energy, or “chi”,
(aka “prana”, “ki”, “orgone”, “sub-atomic energy”,
etc) is the animating essence for all our actions, just as it is for
all living things. This chi is focused in accordance with our
awareness. Awareness is like a magnetic field that coordinates iron
filings, (chi) into a cohesive pattern. It clarifies and gives order
to the fields of chi-energy which surround us. Intent gives
awareness its' parameters of focus...it is the manifesting source of
all our actions, the very essence of decision-making and change.
So in answer to your
question about how the self is defined;
Intent, awareness and
energy are the irreducible essence of the true self, not thought,
emotion, memory, culture or any other learned behavior. These three
are the essence of the consciousness that we are, and which all other
life likewise IS. It is precisely because of this common essence,
which we share with each other and all life, that we are capable of
knowing other peoples' thoughts, feelings and intentions. This
commonality of SOURCE stands behind the truth of the statement “we
are all one”. From this truth springs our ability to
intimately know nature, natural laws and all living creatures. It is
from the consciousness that we are which allows us, “mystical”,
gnostic and direct perception into truth, that which is called “God”
and the core of the soul/true self. Einsteins' unified field is in
fact consciousness. To
expand consciousness is to elevate all aspects of the self and
society in general. If we have any hope as a species to outlive our
own uncontrolled folly, it will not be through political, social or
religious measures, it will be through that expansion of the true
self.
You
asked me how I know that, “the purpose of life is the expansion of
consciousness”. “All of the above” is the brief answer to that
question. In short, this truth can be “cognized”, or “Seen”
by anyone who looks deeply into themselves and into the nature of
reality. Life is based on consciousness. In fact, life also
arises at the behest of consciousness, or in other words, “at the
behest of the intent at large”. That which is called “God” is
on-going in its' “creation”, and so too are the processes of
evolution. As life evolves it's consciousness expands, which is to
say, “becomes more sophisticated and capable of higher states and
actions”. Likewise, when consciousness expands, it accelerates the
further evolution of physical and energetic forms.
Contrary
to popular opinion, “creation” and “evolution” are therefore
complimentary forces.
It
is interesting to note, however, that the majority of human
beings DO NOT See, simply because they don't look.
They don't look, because they don't want to know.
They don't want to know because of the fear that what will be
revealed is contrary to their cherished notions of self and reality.
Such notions are usually little more than the product of cultural and
historical folly.
And your point is?
