Notice Board for this Area

Nothing to post for this area as yet.  In the meantime here is an extract from one of my favorite books, "The Power of Now".

What you have just described is something that I occasionally experience for brief moments when I am alone and surrounded by nature. Yes. Zen masters use the word

satori to describe a flash of insight a moment of no-mind and total presence. Although satori is not a lasting transformation be grateful when it comes for it gives you a taste of enlightenment. You may indeed have experienced it many times without knowing what. it is and realizing its importance. Presence is needed to become aware of the beauty the majesty the sacredness of nature. Have you ever gazed up into the infinity of space on a clear night Yes but only as seen from the limited perspective of the manifested universe. In the Bible God declares: "I am the Alpha and the Omega and I am the living One." In the timeless realm where God dwells which is also your home the beginning and the end the Alpha and the Omega are one and the essence of everything that ever has been and ever will be is eternally present in an unmanifested state of oneness and perfection - totally beyond anything the human mind can ever imagine or comprehend. In our world of seemingly separate forms however timeless perfection is an inconceivable concept. Here even consciousness which is the light emanating from the eternal Source seems to be subject to a process of development but this is due to our limited perception. It is not so in absolute terms. Nevertheless let me continue to speak for a moment about the evolution of consciousness in this world. Everything that exists has Being has God-essence has some degree of consciousness. Even a stone has rudimentary consciousness; otherwise it would not be and its atoms and molecules would disperse. Everything is alive. The sun the earth plants animals humans - all are expressions of consciousness in varying degrees consciousness manifesting as form. The world arises when consciousness takes on shapes and forms thought forms and material forms. Look at the millions of life forms on this planet alone. In the sea on land in the air - and then each life form is replicated millions of times. To what end? Is someone or something playing a game a game with form? This is what the ancient seers of India asked themselves. They saw the world as lila a kind of divine game that God is playing. The individual life forms are obviously not very important in this game. In the sea most life forms don't survive for more than a few minutes after being born. The human form turns to dust pretty quickly too and when it is gone it is as if it had never been. Is that tragic or cruel? Only if you create a separate identity for each form if you forget that its consciousness is God-essence expressing itself in form. But you don't truly know that until you realize your own God-essence as pure consciousness. Awestruck by the absolute stillness and inconceivable vastness of' it? Have you listened truly listened to the sound of a mountain stream in the forest? Or to the song of a blackbird at dusk on a quiet summer evening? To become aware of such things the mind needs to be still. You have to put down for a moment your personal baggage of problems of past and future as well as all your knowledge; otherwise you will see but not see hear but not hear. Your total presence is required. Beyond the beauty of the external forms there is more here: something that cannot be named something ineffable some deep inner holy essence. Whenever and wherever there is beauty this inner essence shines through somehow. It only reveals itself to you when you are present. Could it be that this nameless essence and your presence are one and the same? Would it be there without your presence? Go deeply into it. Find out for yourself. When you experienced those moments of presence you likely didn't realize that you were briefly in a state of no-mind. This is because the gap between that state and the influx of thought was too narrow. Your satori may only have lasted for a few seconds before the mind came in but it was there; otherwise you would not have experienced the beauty. Mind can neither recognize nor create beauty. Only for a few seconds while you were completely present was that beauty or that sacredness there. Because of the narrowness of that gap and a lack of vigilance and alertness on your part you were probably unable to see the fundamental difference between the perception the thought-less awareness of beauty and the naming and interpreting of it as thought: The time gap was so small that it seemed to be a single process. The truth is however that the moment thought came in all you had was a memory of it. The wider the time gap between perception and thought the more depth there is to you as a human being which is to say the more conscious you are. Many people are so imprisoned in their minds that the beauty of nature does not really exist for them. They might say What a pretty flower but that's just a mechanical mental labeling. Because they are not still not present they don't truly see the flower don't feel its essence its holiness - just as they don't know themselves don't feel their own essence their own holiness. Because we live in such a mind-dominated culture most modern art architecture music and literature are devoid of beauty of inner essence with very few exceptions. The reason is that the people who create those things cannot - even for a moment - free themselves from their mind. So they are never in touch with that place within where true creativity and beauty arise. The mind left to itself creates monstrosities and not only in art galleries. Look at our urban landscapes and industrial wastelands. No civilization has ever produced so much ugliness.

Realizing Pure Consciousness

Is presence the same as Being?

When you become conscious of Being what is really happening is that Being becomes conscious of itself. When Being becomes conscious of itself - that's presence. Since Being consciousness and life are synonymous we could say that presence means consciousness becoming conscious of itself or life attaining self-consciousness. But don't get attached to the words and don't make an effort to understand this. There is nothing that you need to understand before you can become present.

I do understand what you just said but it seems to imply that Being the ultimate transcendental reality is not yet complete that it is undergoing a process of development. Does God need time for personal growth?

"In a minute or two he was able to speak feebly and began to thank us and apologize for giving trouble; and soon he sat up leaning against a tree and in a firm though still low voice said:

"'My dear friends I feel I owe you an explanation of my extraordinary behaviour. It is an explanation that I would fain avoid giving; but it must come some time and so may as well be given now. You may perhaps have noticed that when during our voyage you all joined in scoffing at dreams portents and visions I invariably avoided giving any opinion on the subject. I did so because while I had no desire to court ridicule or provoke discussion I was unable to agree with you knowing only too well from my own dread experience that the world which men agree to call that of the [Page 130] supernatural is just as real as - nay perhaps even far more real than this world we see about us. In other words I like many of my country men am cursed with the gift of second-sight - that awful faculty which foretells in vision calamities that are shortly to occur.

"'Such a vision I had just now and its exceptional horror moved me as you have seen. I saw before me a corpse - not that of one who has died a peaceful natural death but that of the victim of some terrible accident; a ghastly shapeless mass with a face swollen crushed unrecognisable. I saw this dreadful object placed in a coffin and the funeral service performed over it. I saw the burial ground I saw the clergyman; and though I had never seen either before I can picture both perfectly in my mind's eye now; I saw you myself Beauchamp all of us and many more standing round as mourners; I saw the soldiers raise their muskets after the service was over; I heard the volley they fired - and then I knew no more'.

"As he spoke of that volley of musketry I glanced across with a shudder at Beauchamp and the look of stony horror on that handsome sceptic's face was not to be forgotten".

This is only one incident (and by no means the principal one) in a very remarkable story of psychic experience but as for the moment we are concerned merely with the example of second-sight which it gives us I need only say that later in the day the party of young soldiers discovered the body of their commanding officer [Page 131] in the terrible condition so graphically described by Mr.Cameron. The narrative continues:

"When on the following evening we arrived at our destination and our melancholy deposition had been taken down by the proper authorities Cameron and I went out for a quiet walk to endeavour with the assistance of the soothing influence of nature to shake off something of the gloom which paralyzed our spirits. Suddenly he clutched my arm and pointing through some rude railings said in a trembling voice. "Yes there it is! that is the burial-ground I saw yesterday'. And when later on we were introduced to the chaplain of the post I noticed though my friends did not the irrepressible shudder with which Cameron took his hand and I knew that he had recognized the clergyman of his vision".

As for the occult rational of al this I presume Mr. Cameron's vision was a pure case of second-sight and if so the fact that the two men who were evidently nearest to him (certainly one - probably both - actually touching him) participated in it to the limited extent of hearing the concluding volley while the others who were not so close did not would show that the intensity with which the vision impressed itself upon the seer occasioned vibrations in his mind-body which were communicated to those of the persons in contact with him as in ordinary thought-transference. Anyone who wishes to read the rest of the story will find it in the pages of Lucifer Vol. 2 page 457.
