An Enlightening Spiritual Release

Written by Mathew Naismith

How do we release ourselves from the push and pull effect which is of old school consciousness? The more we try to release ourselves from this effect, the more we are pulling something in to push something out, it's the samo-samo in that we continually express old school consciousness that isn't evolving. This is fine if we don't want to evolve but many of us just want to go with the flow of an evolving consciousness.

We see that there is a problem in the world or with ourselves so we pull something in to push something out, the old school consciousness just can't let go of this pushing and pulling effect, boy this sounds awfully like we are being controlled by the ego. The ego just doesn't want to let go so it continues with the pushing and pulling effect, we can make ourselves and the world better if we continue along this path says the ego. This isn't the case as this reality shows, this reality has always been about the pushing and pulling effect, pull something seemingly better in to push something seemingly bad out, this is endless until we become aware of what pushing and pulling effects actually create. 

I wrote the following in relation to this topic on a Google community post: Instead of not reacting and going with the flow, we react and cause further reactions which causes the flow to falter, this reality is a good example of this.

The reaction in our case is not wanting to evolve and let go of a proven practice either that be spiritual, material or scientific. The problem with this proven practice is it's based on a reaction which causes the flow to falter. This is basically saying we react too much, a silent mind does not react but let's it be but the ego of the old consciousness says otherwise.   

So what is this old consciousness?

To me it's a state of consciousness that is unenlightened and any unenlightened state will use the push and pull effect to become more enlightened (aware), to pull something judged as better in to push something judged as bad out. This sounds like a reaction from an overly controlling ego to me, we still haven't woken up that the ego doesn't have to be in control thus we continue the old school consciousness that isn't evolving, it's stagnating. You can easily observe today how this stagnation is rotting away this reality.

Old school consciousness also include using various practices in science and spirituality to pull something in to push something out, it's the way we use such practices that stop such practices from ever evolving. These practices are only of old school consciousness because it's the way we use them, these practices worked in old school consciousness but they don't in a newer ever evolving consciousness.

How do we stop using these practices in an old school conscious way?

For starters we don't pull new consciousness in to push old consciousness out, what we do is just become aware without a pushing and pulling effect, just by becoming aware or less unenlightened, allows consciousness to evolve without this pushing and pulling effect which only causes further reactions. Believe it or not, we don't want to cause a reaction, the controlling ego does but we shouldn't if we want a lasting change that will continually evolve instead of stagnating.

The reason I stated less unenlightened instead of becoming enlightened is to pull an enlightened state in is to push an unenlightened state out, this reaction is still expressing old school consciousness. This worked quite fine in an old school consciousness but it won't work in a ever evolving consciousness, this is because such reactions causes consciousness to falter which causes any reality created by this consciousness to falter. We can't half witness this today within our own reality.

To use mediation for example to pull something better in to push something bad out, is of old school consciousness so how do we better ourselves?  Actually you don't see it as bettering ourselves for starters, only the controlling ego judges what is wrong and right, good or bad, better and worse, and the controlling ego is certainly of old school consciousness. We see it as evolving instead, that is all and yes it is that simple. With this kind of mentality, you have taken control away from the ego, you have allowed consciousness to freely evolve.

What will happen with old school teachings is they will no longer serve a purpose, this isn't a bad thing at all even though our controlling ego will judge otherwise. Now the reason they will no longer serve us is they will no longer be needed, only in this old school consciousness have they been warranted/needed. Could you imagine not needing to meditate or practice in yoga for balance and healing, in fact you will always be within this state without reacting thus causing further reactions, faltering the flow of an evolving consciousness.

It's this simple, stop reacting and allow consciousness to evolve without falter.
