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".

In a sense the state of presence could be compared to waiting. Jesus used the analogy of waiting in some of his parables. This is not the usual bored or restless kind of waiting that is a denial of the present and that I spoke about already. It is not a waiting in which your attention is focused on some point in the future and the present is perceived as an undesirable obstacle that prevents you from having what you want. There is a qualitatively different kind of waiting one that requires your total alertness. Something could happen at any moment and if you are not absolutely awake absolutely still you will miss it. This is the kind of waiting Jesus talks about. In that state all your attention is in the Now. There is none left for daydreaming thinking remembering anticipating. There is no tension in it no fear just alert presence. You are present with your whole Being with every cell of your body. In that state the "you' that has a past and a future the personality if you like is hardly there anymore. And yet nothing of value is lost. You are still essentially yourself. In fact you are more fully yourself than you ever were before or rather it is only now that you are truly yourself. "Be like a servant waiting for the return of the master says Jesus. The servant does not know at what hour the master is going to come. So he stays awake alert poised still lest he miss the master's arrival. In another parable Jesus speaks of the five careless (unconscious) women who do not have enough oil (consciousness) to keep their lamps burning (stay present) and so miss the bridegroom (the Now) and don't get to the wedding feast (enlightenment). These five stand in contrast to the five wise women who have enough oil (stay conscious). Even the men who wrote the Gospels did not understand the meaning of these parables so the first misinterpretations and distortions crept in as they were written down. With subsequent erroneous interpretations the real meaning was completely lost. These are parables not about the end of the world but about the end of psychological time. They point to the transcendence of the egoic mind and the possibility of living in an entirely new state of consciousness.

Beauty Arises In The Stillness Of Your Presence

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?

Clairvoyance Wales

Psychometry and second-sight in excelsis would also be among the faculties which our friend would find at his command; but those will be more fitly dealt with under a later heading since in almost all their manifestations they involve clairvoyance either in space or in time.

I have now indicated though only in the roughest outlines what a trained student possessed of full astral vision would see in the immensely wider world to which that vision introduced him; but I have said nothing of the stupendous change in his mental attitude which comes from the experiential certainty as to the existence of the soul its survival after death the action of the law of karma and other points of equally paramount importance. The difference between even the profoundest intellectual conviction and the precise knowledge gained by direct personal experience must be felt in order to be appreciated. [Page 44]

CHAPTER -3-

SIMPLE CLAIRVOYANCE: PARTIAL

The experiences of the untrained clairvoyant - and be it remembered that that class includes all European clairvoyants except a very few - will however usually fall very far short of what I have attempted to indicate; they will fall short in many different ways - in degree in variety or in permanence and above all in precision.

Sometimes for example a man's clairvoyance will be permanent but very partial extending only perhaps to one or two classes of the phenomena observable; he will find himself endowed with some isolated fragment of higher vision without apparently possessing other powers of sight which ought normally to accompany that fragment or even to precede it. For example one of my dearest friends has all his life had the power to see the atomic ether and atomic astral matter and to recognize their structure alike in darkness or in light as interpenetrating everything else; yet he has only rarely seen entities whose bodies are composed of the much more obvious lower ethers or denser astral matter and at any rate is certainly not permanently able to see them. He simply finds himself in possession of this special faculty without any apparent reason to account for it or any [Page 45] recognizable relation to anything else; and beyond proving to him the existence of these atomic planes and demonstrating their arrangement it is difficult to see of what particular use it is to him at present. Still there the thing is and it is an earnest of greater things to come - of further powers still awaiting development.

There are many similar cases - similar I mean not in the possession of that particular form of sight (which is unique in my experience) but in showing the development of some one small part of the full and clear vision of the astral and etheric planes. In nine cases out of ten however such partial clairvoyance will at the same time lack precision also - that it is to say there will be a good deal of vague impression and inference about it instead of the clear-cut definition and certainty of the trained man. Examples of this type are constantly to be found especially among those who advertise themselves as "test and business clairvoyance".
