Paradox of ConsciousnesssteemCreated with Sketch.

in #consciousness7 years ago (edited)

The paradox of consciousness, in the esoteric sense, is that the problem  is really with human perspective. From a higher level of understanding  there is no "right or wrong" in the world , only lessons. Morality and Ethics have become blurred and are  subjective to human definition and emotional state at the time of acting  or reacting without them under the control of the will. While divine  law , the law of compensation and exchange, cause and effect are unbreakable. There are lessons, on individual and collective levels that  are to be learned or experienced in order to evolve from one level of  awareness , the lower , carnal, purely material based realms of consciousness concerning the self, and  instinct to a higher awareness of consciousness, beyond the physical,  embodying the spiritual nature .
 

All evil comes from within man himself. From the immersion of  consciousness into the dense state of matter forgetting where it emerged  from Divinity. The "Fall" as some call it. The Hermetic & Universal Law of Polarity describes this.  For one to grasp the spiritual nature of things is to accept full  personal responsibility for all thoughts and actions that we act on. We  are responsible for our reactions, ruled by emotions or fear, that  separate us further from source and from ourselves. The ancient axiom,  Know Thyself, was taught throughout the mysteries concerning philosophy  and higher consciousness. To know the secrets of the universe one must  come to know themselves, fully, this is to know both Good and Evil  within themselves. And to transmute those passions, lusts, temptations -  the demons that seek control over the material & carnal nature of  man. To understand and to act accordingly, in cooperation with divine  law, is the way. The Right thing is known because it is the truth, the  way and the light, born of agape, divine love. There is one way to do  all things, when this is discovered, well the doors once locked are  thrown open to he who knows the secret word. The senses expanded beyond  what most can imagine within the boxes we humans try to stuff all  thought. The Right thing is compassion, peace, truth, oneness. All else  is created through separation from source / god, and that ignorance  usurps its control over ego, imprisoning the soul within the mortal  vessel.
 

Then there is that truth which sets one free. The holy of holies ,  knowable only by doing the work all who enter that path must do. The  Great Work, to come to understand who and what we are, where we come  from and how to unite the 2 as 1, here and now. The Alchemy of the soul,  to turn the mirror inward, shed the illusions of self and ego, to seek  the mysteries knowable through direct experience only, by the ever  calling inward journey and unrelenting trials and tribulations to test  ones true self, to become soul conscious and to rise to our destiny.
 

Let me ask a  question, or rather make a final point regarding the state of things in  this country / world, an observation that if you stick with it to the  end, and apply intuition, well.... and I know so many might, will take  offense but here it goes. I did not support Trump or Clinton because I  see clearly through the Lies, corruption and hypocrisy of the illusion  of the 2 party divide and conquer system. I did not even support  Sanders, because that version was not right either. Big money and power  bought both parties long ago, and its not a conspiracy, but a reality,  of special interests in positions of power abusing both. Neither choice  we are ever offered is truly a good person. The man who just left  office? Obama, was not a good person either - He was responsible last  year alone for dropping 26,000 bombs, but hey give that man a peace  prize. The economy "got better" , unemployment "went down" yet we added  $10 Trillion to the over all debt this country is in. The Bush war  policies were continued , then watered down, but ultimately grew bigger  under him. But we had "prosperity" a little more right? People gained  more "rights" but the Government does not have the right to make  personal freedoms a political issue, unless of course, you are not  free..
 

 Now, with all  that corruption in place, so many divided between the party line, drawn  in chalk on the playground of the Republic that once was, now a  "Democracy" run by 51% telling the rest to accept what is dished out  every 4 to 8 years to keep the masses distracted enough to realize they  are being played. Everyone is and has been being played for years. While  out at Standing Rock in Dakota, we have human beings, peaceful and  unarmed against a pipeline of oil, sure to leak as they all, being  assaulted with "non lethal" weapons over preserving clean water. Use  your brain and think. We have each sold part of our soul if we in the  face of all the truth and knowledge available to us, at our fingertips,  we have fallen for the make believe differences we use to separate us  from ourselves, All the things that make us unique, are used to divide  and create fear. Us vs Them, when in fact it is all inclusive, all or  none, not just some...
 

The point is  lost on those without the ability to apply critical thinking, personal  responsibility and an understanding of consciousness that doesn't neatly  fit into the box of personal beliefs sold to us since birth. The  pillars of this society built on manipulation to suck the very power out  of you like vampires waiting for the night, ready to pass around the  collection plate, a list of rules, but for them its do as I say, not as I  do.... Illusions sold by a system and by those with stock dividends to  collect, a vested interest in the very things we see today, Being the  normal chaos humanity has come to expect...the wars, the fear, the huge  profits but bigger debts, hourly wages that seem to always stay the  same, benefits that keep rising, but go back to sleep, go back to  work...everything is under control....be sure to vote and pay your taxes  now, all of this of course being the product of progress, business and  in this 21st century digital dream that most are lulled so easily  asleep..
 

I do not mean  this as a jab in anyway, we were all programmed and brought up within  the same system. Some of us see through the separation it causes and  seek unity. Peace. Love. Truth. Oneness. I love this planet, this human  experience, the possibilities of so many realities yet we stand on the  brink of extinction events while most aimlessly walk around, not even  looking where they are going, staring at a personal computer screen,  vicariously watching the world, or being distracted and entertained by  Music, and Movies glorifying the very decay and psychosis of the human  spirit in 3D techno color...living life through a haze of reality  TV.....
 

Or we have a  choice. The ability to transcend the chaos and find the center. Those  who know, well there are no words that will do here. We always have a  choice, and that choice is always the ever present now, oneness, the  opportunity for change, for peace, for light & love & truth to  shine like the sun upon your face.
