How do you differentiate between consciousness and awareness? With regards.ls. |
r.p.bibra,
Receptivity is a scientific term which accurately describes how we receive a mystical experience.
In the physical world, when we think of receptivity we think of the clarity of reception of waves of light and sound transmitted by a sender to a receiver.
We think of a television receiving signals from a television station, or of a radio receiving radio waves. The clarity of the sound and picture depends on how finely the instrument is tuned.
There are various factors that can interfere with reception. Similarly, in the realm of mysticism, receptivity is our ability to receive the waves of divine Light & Sound flowing from the source, Infinite Love.
The transmitting station is our spiritual adept who beams those waves to us so our soul can be connected with the Creator.
Our job is to prevent anything from interfering with our ability to receive the spiritual transmission of the Light & Sound.
Infinite Consciousness is omnipotent - omniscient - and omnipresent i.e. present everywhere at the same time beyond time - our attention is our means of not only tuning in to our Infinite Consciousness but of fine tuning our awareness as the focus of our attention for optimum reception of the Light & Sound.
Unfortunately, many of us meditate and our mind is going ten thousand miles a minute. We sit in meditation, but our mind is thinking of our problems at home, of how to increase our finances, of what we will do later in the day, or of what we need to buy at the market.
We are sitting in meditation criticizing others. We are thinking about how this person has hurt us, and how this person is trying to get the edge over us. Anytime we thinking of any of these things, we are not in a state of receptivity, and we will not get the maximum benefit. We will not experience the waves of love from the eternal ocean.
If we wish to experience the waves of love, we need to be in a state of receptivity. We must tell our mind that it can think all it wants after meditation, but that during the meditation it needs to be still and let us experience the bliss that is our birthright.
It is the freed soul ( human consciousness) that has to experience "awareness" at varying levels, from realization of the "self" to that of "Cosmic" and ultimately to that of "Super -Cosmic " or God.
Our "awareness as the focus of our attention" is either tuned to the physical-material universe or to the Light & Sound through which we then experience the true "Elegant Uni-Verse" of Infinite Love.
Consciousness is omnipresent but we are only aware of this when our attention is focused on our consciousness not on the world of matter. If we take the L representing love out of the world we experience "Word" i.e. the Light & Sound or Infinite Love Of God ! ! !
Through the attention we tune in and through focusing that attention in the single eye we become aware and are receptive to the Light & Sound of Infinite Love. The more finely we concentrate our attention the more we are tuned in and the more aware we are.
Our awareness as the focus of our attention within us is the microcosm and by reuniting with the microcosm we can then experience the macrocosm or "Super -Cosmic" Consciousness.
