Loss of the true significance of concepts has contributed
much to contemporary savagery. People strew pearls about like sand. Verily, it
is time to replace many definitions. New Era community #47
Earth is the third planet from the Sun, and the only
astronomical object known to harbor life. wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth
As we know, from the beginning of our long evolutional
journey virtually all of the actual word language that we have to use for trying
to move Principles and Ideas from the formless realms of Cosmos into
intelligently comprehendible thoughtforms have been grossly distorted. This
distortion is the result of our intelligent one dimensional separative
identification with our brains and consequently the lower physical planes of
our planet.
Vehicles of Truth
These words or thoughtforms which we so casually throw
around are actually the dense vehicles of the majestic concepts of Truth or
Cosmic Physics. This distortion is most obvious, of course, in the usage of
words such as Life, Beauty, Love, Justice, Freedom, etcetera. These terms have
been rendered practically meaningless by the superficial application or use for
every passing emotion or thought regardless of how banal.
“Life” is probably the most trashed word in the language. A
close second, frequently not even noted in this group, is the word
“Consciousness”. Consciousness is commonly defined as the state of being awake
and aware of one's surroundings, or the awareness or perception of something by
a person, and this includes the fact of awareness by the “mind” (which is
another grossly distorted word) and has been reduced to a function of the dense
physical brain.
All of these “definitions” are based in the delusion that
consciousness is a condition of being alive, which means that a dense physical
body is able to breathe and beat its heart. Consciousness is assumed to be
something that can only exist within a “live” human being. Dead means not
conscious. “Consciousness”, again largely because of Humanity’s delusional
identification with its dense physical body, is a term that is not just
“misunderstood”, Consciousness is not understood at all.
That the dense physical planes of Cosmos manifest, that they
do so in an infinite diversity of forms, from radio waves to Galaxies is
obvious. However the identification of one’s self as being a form, is perhaps
the most basic blockage to Reality that individual humans must overcome. This
situation is what is referred to as the Great Lie. It is the delusion that we
are our bodies.
The Path of Evolution
The efforts and struggles to overcome the challenges this
delusion generates are essentially the content of the Path of Evolution.
Through—who knows how many— repeated incarnations and a scientific process
which is called “Experiment, experience and expression” The Rays and the
Initiations p. 337—we finally arrive at a point in some incarnation where we
have launched an experiment, and had a resulting experience that opens a door,
maybe just a crack, but it is enough for us to have an experience of realizing
that we are more than our bodies. That “more” is Consciousness.
The Path of Probation
Eventually we actually accept that Reality and begin to try
to live it. This period of our evolution from ignorance to Wisdom is aptly
named the path of Probation. As we all know from experiment, experience and
expression, this path is like spending lives riding Kingda Ka. However, what we
finally get is conscious.
Consciousness is not “the state of being awake and aware of
one's surroundings”. We have been awake and aware of our surroundings for many,
many incarnations. We have mostly always thought we were mortal objects. Every
interface was, still is in most cases, instinctively and instantly evaluated for
danger. Fight or flight was our number one response. We lived in fear of death,
and totally separate from all other “things” of whatever kind.
A Point of Light
Consciousness is the realization that one is NOT one’s thing
or any of the surrounding things but a quite detached, dispassionate, and
discriminative individual unit of consciousness or, as it is known in the
Ageless Wisdom, a Soul. In a word, we are consciousness. And as such we are
“aware” of both our unique individual self and the unavoidable fact that we are
simultaneously also “a point of light within a greater Light”. Telepathy and
the Etheric Vehicle p.197
When we realize that this process has been going forward for
a very, very long time, certain kinds of phenomena become understandable, even
expected. Evolution proceeds, and even a superficial look at the past 5000
years of recorded history will reveal that the speed at which evolution has
progressed over the past 500 years is literally amazing. It is quite easy to
see this acceleration in terms of dense physical areas such as transportation.
We went from sailing ships which were used for untold thousands of years to
deep space in 189 years. We went from the first telephone call in 1876 to an
estimated 5.7 billion cell phones on the planet in 2016.
What is most striking but seldom considered is the speed of
population growth. In 1500 there were an estimated 450,000,000 humans (units of
consciousness) on the Planet. In 1974 there were approximately 4,000,000,000
people on the planet. By 2019 that number has almost doubled to 7,800,000,000.
It is reasonable to conclude that the evolution of
“consciousness”, the realization that one is not any dense form, also expanded
and accelerated. That means that a significant and steadily increasing number
of those units of consciousness that were incarnating before and during these
400 or so years have achieved consciousness, at least on some level. It is
therefore reasonable to conclude that a significant number of the units of
consciousness that are in fact presently on the planet are Conscious, i.e. they
“know” intuitively that they are not separated from others by the fact that
they are in a body. They intuitively know that they are one with Humanity.
This does NOT necessarily mean that they think, “Hey, I am not
my dense body. I am a soul or some sort of “spiritual” being”. In most cases,
this is simply knowing. It is a previously achieved level of consciousness with
which they incarnated. It is not something about which they have to process
data. It simply makes sense. Any other conclusion seems ridiculous to them.
Conscious individuals are usually very much aware of others
who see reality as they do. And they are well aware of the fact that many, if
not most of the other humans see reality in a different way than they do.
However this understanding does not generate disdain or a sense of separation.
Such an attitude is simply not possible for a conscious person to harbor. Such
attitudes are ignorance, unawareness, and a clear sign of an undeveloped
consciousness.
Of course, there is growth and expansion on all levels of
Consciousness, and for all of us the space between the steps was, time wise,
lengthy. It takes a lot of experimenting, experiencing, and expressing to
gradually get it Right. Again, however,
we need to understand that the path of evolution is a spiral. Nothing is lost,
and every gain shortens the circumference and the length of time between the
spirals. That’s what makes a spiral.
Conscious Government
So, we come to the point of this Thoughtline. Humanity has
forever been evolving toward a Conscious Government. As the presence of
conscious individuals increased on the planet, how we behaved or “governed”
ourselves changed as well. For literally thousands of years, with an occasional
exception here and there—during which exception we would make significant progress which would be lost
as the next aware, but non-conscious king gained power—Humanity was governed by
non-conscious individuals who fostered the Great Illusion of separation.
Under the rule of these individuals most of our present
governmental policies were developed. However, there were moments when a
conscious individual would gain some measure of power or would be able to
influence the direction of the unfolding and in this manner, consciousness by
fits and bursts slowly but steadily evolved policies that were synchronous with
Cosmic Physics.
Presently, the previously sophistically obfuscated fissure
between the illusion of a separate, exclusive, and power driven reality and
Reality has been forced once again into unavoidable visual manifestation by the
frenetic and fanatic actions of the Retrogressive Forces. There was nothing
like the Nazi invasion of Poland with 1.5 million troops in 1939 to get our
attention. These present actions, by Retrogressive Forces are global and are
being driven not just by occasional horrendous acts of brutal murder and
dismemberment, but 24/7 by raving media of all kinds.
They are now, as then, designed to separate and depress
people, and to engender fear and hatred between groups. The ancient goal has
not changed. A self-designated super race wishes to own and control this
planet.
“Verily, a great page! Verily, the Banner unfolds
powerfully. Verily, when the world is in convulsion We intensify the forces of
the higher means. But the front of opposition uses the lowest means. Therefore,
the most powerful possibilities are being brought forth. Hence, Tactica Adversa
is Our measure.” Infinity 2 #367
Literally billions of people all over the world have in the
past 15 years been involved in protests of all kinds. These protests range
from fiction and non-fiction books, poetry and movies, to musical lyrics and
operas, photography and paintings of every kind from ten story murals to images
on our cell phones along with a half dozen doing stand-ins, sit-ins, lie-ins,
camp-ins, in the offices of reactionary politicians, to tens of millions
marching in streets from small towns to the largest cities on the planet.
This is just the beginning of the Tactica Adversa response.
A much more powerful response is the sudden appearance of a
group of 20 or so women and men candidates for the office of the President of
the U.S. These twenty individuals have been physically campaigning all around
the United States for the past several months. And, we have had many, many
media opportunities to observe, and hear each of them in various settings
speaking about their views on a number of policy issues, their vision for the
Nation, and the planet, and the actions they would take if elected President of
The United States.
Toward Synthesis
What is totally amazing about these 20 odd individuals is
that while they all have individual styles, approaches, and opinions concerning
priorities, there is a remarkable unity in the consciousness and basic values
and visions for the Nation they each have. Together it does approach an
expanding synthesis. Our Government is designed to be a government of, for, and
by the People. While every human being has a free will, we are all just one. So
the freewill of one cannot intrude on the free will of anyone else.
Some people are NOT more free than others. It is this simple
fact that is utterly destroyed by the present retrogressive systems of the
illusion of superiority, inferiority, separation. “All men are created Equal.”Declaration of Independence
We need a government of conscious individuals, not just the
Federal government but government all through the system. This is the goal
toward which we have been evolving, and the appearance of this group of
individuals is a blazing tactica adversa indicator that we are evolving.
By The Way
It might be interesting to note that in 1776 a similar group
of 56 Conscious and concerned for the Common Good and General Welfare
individuals gathered in Philadelphia and created the Declaration of
Independence. In May of 1787 another group, containing many of the same
individuals, gathered and created a synthesis called The Constitution of the
United States. “On June 21, 1788, New Hampshire became the ninth state to
ratify that document, and it was subsequently agreed that government under the
U.S. Constitution would begin on March 4, 1789.”
