States of Consciousness
What are you thinking?What is your perspective? Your motive?
What conceptual framework are you using at this moment?
What is in your mind?
These constitute your State of Consciousness, your Awareness.
Now this is very simple, really....Connecting the dots between our previous discussions...
At any moment you can be acting from the perspective of the raindrop or the Ocean.
You can look at the world, yourself, and others around you, from the perspective of the limited, small construct of your individual ego, or from a larger view....family--->friends--->locale--->nation--->planet--->universe--->God.
Clearly we must spend quite some time on exactly what God-Consciousness means:
 | What it is |
| Is it possible? |
| What it "looks like" |
| What effects it has on the individual |
| How you get it |
But for now suffice it to say...God Consciousness is real...to Think, know, and have the awareness of God. That is your destiny. That is 100% of what the religions of the world are about....Oh, yes, they have a lot of other things to say along the way, but make no mistake: The purpose of your life is to move from the
small, limited, ego-filled, hateful, sin-state of human (aka raindrop) consciousness
to the
large, limitless, egoless, loving, bliss-state of God (aka ocean) consciousness.
The fundamental problems, then, are:
| The society around us does not believe in, or acknowledge, that God Consciousness is even possible. |
| The primary forces in that society, from government to education to commerce to the so-called-church, all operate from the raindrop consciousness. |
| Actually, it is much worse, in that people cannot achieve what they cannot conceive, and through the present social order it is nearly impossible to catch a glimpse that Ocean Consciousness exists at all. |
| So, the OVERWHELMING majority of individual raindrops today have no way to know the Ocean even exists...They cannot, therefore, know that the Ocean is their real home, origin, and essential self...They have no clue that they are the Ocean in embryo. |
| And, as a result, they certainly cannot find programs, "movements", or human waves of consciousness to teach, train, and assist them in returning to the Ocean. |
A WARNING
So....So.....I will continue to try to paint the pictures....
But I must warn you. And I am as serious as I can be.
Once you "get it," even the tiniest hint of the size, glory, eternity of the Ocean, and gain the slimmest glimpse of the fact that you are, in fact, nothing more than that Ocean in miniature, you will never again be able to live, move, or function as a typical raindrop again. You will be a stranger in a strange land, disenfranchised from the structures of the social order around you...none will understand, well, maybe one if you are fortunate, for Ocean-conscious raindrops are the rarest treasure in the manifest Universe...The politicians, sports figures, so-called religious leaders, on and on....all of it will be recognized for what it is: worse, oh so much worse than merely "silly", but a sad, fallen, hollow shell of the true human potential, millionaires and billionaires and trillionaires living like homeless paupers.
The only compensation is the scent of the ocean, as you feel its waves and tides flowing through your veins...
And you will never go back...Your body will remain, and the outside world will still see a raindrop...But your consciousness will be different...inside, where the world cannot see and does not care to go, you will recognize you are, indeed, what you have always been, the birthless, deathless Ocean.
You will have Ocean Consciousness.
