The meaning of awakening is being born again. This demands that you enter a process of spiritual growth from spiritual infancy to mastership. The nourishment to achieve this is Soul Food. This is called Aspiration, it is the irrigation of ideas as it generates positive currents. The hermetic principle of polarity must be studied.
The story of the other. It has been on the lips of many that George Ivanovich Gurdjieff is remarkable. The concept that we sleep without any possibility to awaken is still novel to many. By living in sleep what kind of life will we possess? Doomed to repeat many lives until the series of shocks awaken us. One may slowly fall asleep again. A subset of us experience more shocks. Now realizing that they have been sleeping. Wondering just what to do now? Try to wake others...or...connect to those other-selfs. Their consciousness has not regained automatically. They are in a state called limbo. The sleep in which we live is called hypnotic sleep. Just as blood cells can be regarded as sheep. So can we. A woman by the name of Helen Rhodes Wallace wrote about the same concepts that Pyotr Demianovich Ouspenskii discussed in his early books (Tertium Organum 1912 in Russian). That means there were others concerned with grave problem we face. In 1908 Helen Rhodes published Psychcoma. This means The Soul Sleep. The true meaning, not as it has been twisted by convolution. The roots of many words have been disconnected to the later descendants. PSYCHCOMA means the principle of life is connected to the body. There is no disruption. No need for the present detours. Psychcoma by Helen Rhodes The Psychology of Man's Possible Evolution by P. D. Ouspenskii
Isn't it strange that the inner planets are separated from the outer planets, which are closer to the milky way. The inner planets are closer to the earth. In the Kabbalah the planet spheres of saturn. Uranus, and Pluto are separated from the planet spheres of Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon, and Earth. The use of the same names provides the confusion. The spheres or heavens are states of the mind. One region of the mind is called the abyss. A veil separates three states from seven states.
The meaning of Psychcoma is that you and your soul are one. It is not correct to regard the soul as a mere possession. The manifestation of the soul is through the physical body. Why does this word include coma? Doesn't coma mean sleeping? The two parts of the word describe that this life is two fold. The life is both physical and spiritual. The thoughts are spiritual. The confusion results because these two parts are not distinct but are in turn composed of different worlds. The physical world includes the mental world. The spiritual includes the astral, buddhi, Atman, Manas, Logos. The net composition of these worlds appear. Without effort their appears no distinction of these worlds. In fact if you sleep the worlds would appear to appear to your senses. To communicate. It is important to discern how the spiritual life measures attainment. This is achieved through mental deposit and subconscious experiences. They are represented in art as male and female figures. During sleep the soul operates through the subconscious world. During our wake period we are dreaming out-a-loud. The Adept technique Inward Breath is the spraying of the body inwardly. This is a developing process for the purposes of invigoration, recuperation, and healing. When you take a breath all components in your universe gives consent to the receiving event. No part is faced with the burden alone. Inhale as from a circle with yourself as the center and the solar plexus as the focus. Hold the breath a moment then slowly exhale upward spraying or spreading breath within and over the entire. This is visualized as fireworks emitted from a center, or a fountain head spraying. Avoid drawing the abdomen inward as this turns off the supply of breath. How a singer is able to maintain the voice is through the abdomen? A way to prevent cold feet To induce sleep visualize the breath, descending the spine, and carry it downward into and out of the feet. To prevent chills from occurring hold the breath at the solar plexus the same length as the inhalation. By doing so perspiration will be induced. What types of consciousness can I experience? The one I am familiar with is sleep and walking sleep. I know of no other? What about the tendency to blank out yet you appear awake. Is that not a third? Here take a slip of a drink. Place it on a table behind you so as not to knock it over. Suddenly you forgot to attend to an important matter. In oner hour your return. A friend arrives and you have an interesting discussion for 1 and half hours. Now why do you forget about the beverage. If you can recall having that experience of the taste, then why is it you are unable to determine where it is? A way is possible to reach two additional states. There are difficulties present that must be overcome.
The other two conscious states are called objective conscious and self conscious. The state of self conscious allows the ability to be objective toward the observer. The objective conscious world is where the observer makes the connection with the world that are blocked by senses, and dreams.
In the first state of consciousness we are in the state of sleep. We are unable to know anything of the truth. The forces that produce dreams are not perceived and the dreams are considered the actual focus of our thoughts. In the second state of consciousness we are in the waking sleep. Only by comparing to relative events can we make a discernment. In the third state of consciousness we only are aware of self. In the fourth state of consciousness is where we discern the full truth of everything. This allows disclosure of the nature of things. Ask someone to repeat a sentence in a foreign language. Ask someone to repeat words in a song. Notice how the events in the information become scrambled. There are four states of consciousness to conquer. A state for an element. That means the alchemist elements are more than just hearsay. There is a connection between the elements and the inevitable attainment of these states. Learning how the mind works with these elements is part of the Great Work. The alchemists goals therefore are to achieve objective conscious. The way of mind explained with the sanskrit root manas. This is written by the three letters man. As you prepare the vessel to receive gnosis you will come across the term "the fourth man." This vessel has the following properties. The ability to be objective. A fixed center of gravity. "This mind" and other minds are distinct in that their properties all rely on higher beings. A seven pointed star is a drawing for the mind. This of course is the "seventh man" described by art. To achieve all the properties is to become a star. Here the manas has gained through contact with all of the lower minds a unified consciousness of the I. This being has perfect knowledge. This is coupled with pure objectivity and an immortal I consciousness. This is the I, that cannot be destroyed.
The lower seven sephiroth (or sephirot) are the seven minds discussed in the fourth way. This clarifies a misunderstanding of the Ouspensky-Gurdjiefff texts. There was nothing innovative other than the importance to get the message out. Each further impulse to earth makes spiritual development of the organs even more difficult. A desire to have literal explanations means the mind is frozen. How can we leave the kingdom and reach the crown if we cannot understand the products produced from the mind to assist us in our climb? To obtain new conscious states the mind grows. The mind matures, The mind evolves. If the seven sephiroth evolves the top triangle, known as the logos, can be supported. This is what is meant by the seven days of creation. After being formed each of the sephiroth must grow. Here is why the seven sephiroth are separated from the logos by the veil. To achieve the successive minds and develop the points of the stars from 1-2-3-4, then followed by 5,6, and 7 points. Therefore your sleep and wakeful sleep contribute a two point star. This is your line the symbol of wisdom. The sephira indicated as wisdom (Chokmah). When you decide to make the change notice a curious find in an old esoteric text.
Reading 1 alert Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming. "But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. "For this reason you also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will. Matthew 24: 42-44 Reading 2 Awake Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. 43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. Matthew 24: 42-44 A problem of translating awake as alert dilutes the meaning for the reader. Son of Man Notice the importance for the child. WE ignore the spinal chord development. In all traditions this region of the nervous system is described by the Draco constellation. It is a child compared to the trinity of cerebellum, cerebrum, mid-brain. Even by sections the three parts retain their ability to identify each other in the system of nerves. How do we awaken ? How do you stay awake ? THE Answer is in Art. The mind creates art to awaken. The necessary information is inside works of art. The ability of the the mind to make art and to, more importantly, understand the message is the wonder of the creator. The knowledge can be obtained by us because of who we are. The soul can wear many types of clothing but the destination of the soul is crucial. The development through matter is neglected in poetry and song these days. The paths are crucial for the purpose of having the souls come to visit. Their works will be understood in the futures of the pasts. Each stone cast for a pyramid has a spiritual metaphor. The most misunderstood word άμαρτάνω (ámartáno) translated as sin, it means missing the mark. This off target. What is this error that is unknown in the English language? THis is of course what we should strive for. That place known only by the words The Kingdom of Heaven. THis is attainable by our thoughts. To be in heaven is s state of mind. This path begins with entering the third state of consciousness. To become aware of your self and leave the dream land is essential before you enter objective consciousness. The Mystery behind Isaiah 31:3 lies in our ignorance of who we are? Where are we from? By emerging from a bowl* used to mix wine we forget out DIVINITY. Egypt means flesh. Egypt is flesh, nor spirit. Egypt is man not God. His horses are of flesh and not of flesh. To be a horse of flesh implies that the intellect is tied to the physical senses. If thoughts are only derived from the senses is a mind of the dead. The soul is unable to reach the mind. * Krater, the 13 star constellation in the sky, just above the water snake hydra constellation. One modern version is translated as The Egyptians are humans. They are not God. Their horses are made of flesh; they can not live forever.
13 stars represent this bowl. 1 star for each zodiac member relates a region of the body development. The thirteenth star is the entity entering the newly constructed body. Be it a blood corpuscle, a germ cell, or other. The mixing bowl serves the site where souls arrive from the Milky way into the solar system is depicted in many traditions. Even the vessel inside the solar plexus, as solar plexus itself is intimately tied to the nerves involved in the act of breathing. This is the reason for the neighboring bird beside the vessel.
The mention of a master explains why it was used to explain the meeting of Gurdjieff and his teaching methods. Several articles have been produce claiming to search for the origins of this very methods. The answer does not require much effort. The gospel of Matthew is one of the sources. Our mental structure involves several actors. An anthology to employ is that of a house in a state of ruin with several servants confined to the basement, confused, and unsure of their abilities. "Thus, in one teaching, man is compared to a house in which there is a multitude of servants but no master and no steward. The servants have all forgotten their duties; no one wants to do what he ought; everyone tries to be master, if only for a moment; and, in this kind of disorder, the house is threatened with grave danger. The only chance of salvation is for a group of the more sensible servants to meet together and elect a temporary steward, that is, a deputy steward. This deputy steward can then put the other servants in their places, and make each do his own work: the cook in the kitchen, the coachman in the stables, the gardener in the garden, and so on. In this way the 'house' can be got ready for the arrival of the real steward who will, in his turn, prepare it for the arrival of the master." Author: P. D. Ouspenskii (Ouspensky) Title: In Search of the Miraculous By applying Eastern teachings the reader is able to learn how such techniques are used and what information can be obtained when reading such terms in the Evangelical texts. The actors of Servants, and Master we can understand that the mind is not static, but actually requires the need to learn. The mind is actually in the process of evolution. We have fallen into the misunderstanding that education is only allocated to the classroom portion of our lives.
Because of our waking sleep state we cannot even grasp the significance as to what the bird is doing in this astrological map. Rather than come to realize the bird represents the breath being blown into the lungs the common thoughts consider the bird to be pecking the snake.
To communicate with the subconscious requires The Law of Suggestion. The subconscious mind is very wise. It is capable of knowing and revealing to us all things. The aura of every person holds the solution of past experience. This is intelligible to the subconscious perception. The conscious must establish communication with the subconscious. Rather than seek out. Try the subconscious. It is ready to be of helped if asked. Draw into manifestation the will with positive thoughts. This will allow you to draw upon the wisdom of the inner life. Remember the importance of positive thoughts. Your thoughts work on a feedback system. The thoughts radiate and impress upon the ambit circular region around as you go about your activities. This energy comes back to you in a form of an event. The use of unpleasant thoughts will prevent you from achieving your interests. A superior understanding forces a superior condition. As fast and as soon you arouse from your coma you begin to polarize yourself to attract new values. Your thoughts result in attractions. You may experience an unpleasant event. Be ever willing to express a positive influencing thought. The negative thoughts accumulate and produce an opposing force. This not realized in a sleeping mental state. Subsequently this opposing force interferes with any plan you devise to correct your situation. You become poorer in speech, thought, and wealth. Realizing this writers would offer maxims into the language to correct this problem. Now we are evolving further into the earth. We are forgetting to call upon our greatest gifts bestowed upon us. Articles now are written to explain the importance of removing the blockages. "Never allow a mean discontent to grow upon you. Whatever your situation, dig up the good in it." This statement is far more valuable then you can imagine. The opposing force behaves as your opponent. This force is utilizing your own energy. By changing your thinking you can weaken the force. Ishtar is called the Lady of Heaven. She stated to Egypt, the land which I love, will I go and wander. A dove is used as a symbol of this goddess. Do the thing and you shall have the power. The access to the higher mind is through silence. An application on the importance for waking up from the coma can be understood from this lecture called The Strangest Secret in the world by Earl Nightingale. This work demonstrates what happens when we decide not to learn how to control our mind. It is a conscious effort. The analogy is that we are earth. The ability to grow anything on the this earth requires change of the conscious state. The lecture will point out the problem, provide a solution, but will not explain why hearers may still be unable to use this knowledge. The reason is they are still sleeping. They contain a sleeping entity inside a shell. As Plato described the (δαίμονε) Daimon in his Cratylus. The Latin is Daemon. You will find this text worth studying. It will answer many nagging questions about yourself. "I suspect something like this. It seems to me that the first inhabitants of Greece believed only in those gods in which many foreigners still believe today—the sun, moon, earth, stars, and sky. And, seeing that these were always moving or running, they gave them the name ‘theoi’ because it was their nature to run (thein). Later, when they learned about the other gods, they called them all by that name. Does that seem likely— or am I talking nonsense?" Socrates
