I did something recently I've never really done before, I felt I needed to
focus more so I asked for guidance, I had no fixated intentions, I just felt I
needed to ask for assistance to focus more, I should know better!! What
happened was I received visions, dreams and actual life experiences which
focused on a particular part of life. What came out of all this was I no longer
resonated with certain consciousness's, I shouldn't accept in my life what I no
longer resonate with.
While becoming spiritually aware, our vibrations naturally
and automatically change as well, we find we no longer resonate or even accept
certain vibrations within our lives. I
feel this is simply to do with awareness and unawareness or ignorance, the more
aware we become the less we are attracted to anything pertaining to ignorance.
I think this is because ignorance can and does quite automatically create chaos
and destruction where's awareness does the opposite for only in ignorance can
we destroy. If you no longer feel comfortable being involved in chaos and
destruction, avoid it when possible.
Take a person who is becoming a naturalist, the more aware
they become of how destructive consumerist materialism is for example on the
environment, the less they resonate with such consciousness's, spiritual
awareness is no different.
Let's take a look at how spiritual awareness and unawareness
(ignorance) as a whole denote.
Awareness = order + constructiveness + release + wisdom
Unawareness (ignorance) = chaos + destruction + control +
knowledge
You will notice a disparity here between the two, isn't
awareness about control and doesn't knowledge lead to wisdom and why isn't
knowledge also a part of awareness?
Let's take a look at order and constructiveness as opposed
to chaos and destruction first up, only
in ignorance can we destroy and to destroy is to create chaos, you cannot
destroy while in awareness therefore you automatically have no chaos. This now
brings us to release as opposed to control, only in chaos and destruction do
you need to take control, what is there to take control of if you no longer
have chaos and destruction within yourself? Let's put this another way, what would there be to control if you existed
in a consciousness of pure peace and harmony?
We can now see how why order, constructiveness release are of awareness
where's chaos, destructiveness and control are only of ignorance.
I should point out that saying one thing is ignorant and the other aware is purely
based on observations, not judgment especially critical judgment, everything a
part of consciousness has it's place, ignorance and awareness are no different.
I think it's quite obvious, through simple observation, that ignorance can be
quite destructive.
Now let's look at the discrepancy between wisdom, awareness
and knowledge, most people would put these three together as one leads to the
other, knowledge leads to awareness and awareness leads to wisdom.
In a Human perspective this works, we are educated to become
aware and then hopefully wise after many hours of study and actual life
experiences in what we have studied, this allows us to take more control of our
lives, this makes perfect sense and yes it does work to one extent or another.
Spiritual awareness works quite differently I believe mainly because we are not
using spiritual awareness to take control in the first place. The reason I
separated knowledge from awareness is knowledge is more to do with control
where's spiritual awareness is more to do with releasing control not gaining
it.
If you look at what is happening today in the world with
extremism, you can see how knowledge is used to take control but only a certain
knowledge is used which only takes a certain amount of awareness, extremists
are certainly not fully aware of what they are doing. Instead of certain
religions using awareness to release control, they have used knowledge to gain
control.
We should remember here, if we are still trying to gain
control, we are not spiritually aware to the extent of not needing control to
keep chaos and destruction in order all the times. If we are still using
control within spirituality, we are not truly spiritually aware. Anyone truly
spiritually aware will not have to use control within their spirituality, this
is due to them not being a part of chaos and destruction in the first place
because there is nothing to control within themselves.
Let's look at a wise person, how controlling are they of any
situation? They will sit back and maybe give advice allowing the controllers to
do their bit, this is due to them not needing to no longer take control. A wise
person will be an observer instead of a participator unlike a controller, this
is why controlling to me doesn't belong in spiritual practices, this same
mistake has been made many times over through various religions in the past,
it's a bit silly to me to continually repeat this time and time again.
There is also another word I can add in relation to
awareness here, humbleness, so what is the antonym of humbleness?
Majestic/proud which is expressive of eroticism, how many egotistical wise
people do we know and what does egotism denote?
Egotism is all about control so does control really belong in true
spiritual practices?
Does all this mean we shouldn't use knowledge in our
spiritual practices? No, what we shouldn't do is use knowledge to take control
but to use knowledge to become aware and wise. Needing or desiring to control in spiritual practices is a sign
that we are still battling with chaos and destruction, this isn't a very good
sign denoting a spiritually wise person.
It seems once we have order we have control, this is purely
a human perceptive which is all based on using knowledge to control instead of using
awareness to release control. Once you have order, there is nothing to control,
so how do we bring order within outlives in the first place? It's certainly not done through control of
any kind even though when we focus, it seems we are using control to focus,
what we are actually doing is releasing ourselves from controlling factors
around us, this humanly gives us the feeling of power of control when it's all
about releasing ourselves from control. Yes it's certainly tricky, we can
indeed be fooled.
I would advice anyone who is serious about practicing in
true spirituality to find someone who is all about releasing control, not
gaining control, through spiritual practices. The following is a good start in
my mind, try Goggling, you never know what you will find.
One of the visions I did receive after asking for guidance
was to vision yourself while you are thinking about control, you should notice
that you are holding something, this can be anything from a lions tail, a rope,
something heavy, a person or what ever, now vision yourself stepping back and
at the same time visioning yourself letting go of what you have a hold on, do
this as many times you like. In a sense this is what we do when we so call die
while going into the light, we release ourselves from our attachments, in other
words we release ourselves from control.
There is but another word to add to awareness, light as
opposed to dark as awareness as opposed to ignorance, it's funny how it all
comes together.
Awareness = order + constructiveness + release + wisdom + humbleness
+ light
Unawareness (ignorance) = chaos + destruction + control +
knowledge + majestic + dark
