Considerations Seventy-Six …
Atten-SHUN …
- - O-0-O-O-0-o - -
There are rather lofty entities that design the general schoolroom … and we each put our particular additions and spins on and within it. The Negative Forces that design and maintain this Lower Psychic Worlds schoolroom certainly know what is necessary to present the differing options and experiences to all. You are drawn to certain situations as you pull them towards you due to your belief system … and due to your karmic implications.
So now … one begins to take charge of just what one perceives … or believes to be true about life and about Self. This is still on the mental level. The “outer” side of your life all comes from some very deep generic and core principle within … and since you have added a bit to just what mind is and isn’t … you begin to explore elsewhere … slowly probing beyond mind while not quite knowing what that might be.
Faith begins to gain a foothold here … faith that there *is* something beyond mind. Up until this time … mind has declared what Soul is or is not … without knowing just exactly what that is. The mental understanding of Soul … is just that … a mental understanding. By now you have realized that mind can make something very “real” in your individual life … but this often turns out to not be as real as one once believed.
This entire confrontation can be made more or less severe by how much one wishes to hold onto the “old ways” … the mental ways. The old mental patterns are vastly preferred over the true Unknown. Many … turn back to the familiar.
Your individual life is an exact reflection of the depth and perceived understanding of your relationship to Divine Spirit. If ones understanding is of the mental areas … the Lower Psychic Worlds … then this perception is enormously different from the Pure God Worlds. Once again … the approach and life as viewed via Soul is immensely different from a mental approach … even though an individual will often declare that they view from Soul … when they don’t.
This too … is a natural part of understanding self as Soul.
It is known in the spiritual order that the expansion of consciousness can only take place after one is put into new conditions of learning. Until then … the individual thinks they know what point is being made … but doesn’t … for they cannot know what they do not know as of yet … and this is very valid question. When Truth steals up on cats paws … we are caught off guard. If we *do” see greater Truth near us … we would push it away because of its ordinary nature … going back towards the center … becoming more foundational or basic … NOT deeper and more complex with analysis and definition.
The human self and the lower world bodies becomes frightened when Soul takes over. The control switch is actually the consciousness. If you allow your conscious attention to be put in the body, there it will stay ! ! If you allow it to be put in the Spirit world - - it will stay there - - and experience non-physical circumstances.
How do you do this ? How do you switch your attention from one thing to another ? How do you switch your attention from watching TV to listening to the radio to reading a book ?
Simple ! ! By the quality of your attention. You can switch your attention from the body consciousness to the non-physical consciousness through the element of attention.
Consciousness is nothing more than awareness … and individual consciousness is specific within the whole of consciousness. And awareness is hardly anything but attention.
So … we are back to attention again. This goes into everything you do. If your attention is somewhere else while you are trying to do your work … it is certain that you will not fool anybody else for long. This is an interesting point. Keep your attention on the occult, then it is certain that you will learn a LOT about the subject. If inwardly you keep watching some picture that you want to experience outwardly … whether in the lower world bodies or the Atma ( Soul ) body … it will come into your life … eventually.
It depends on where you want to put your attention … in Lower Psychic Worlds or in the spiritual realms. The control switch is the focused consciousness. How do you switch from reading a book to watching TV to listening to the radio ? It is the quality of your attention given to each. You must persist with each new State of Consciousness.
The key to quick unfoldment is the properly directed attention to the more beneficial channels.
Choose your images and thoughts well - - especially the ones you habitually put your attention on.
YoU are the channel by which the undifferentiated becomes differentiated … the generic becomes the specific … and you learn this first on the mental level … and then to the universal level. That is being accomplished by appropriation or assumption … to simply design your own world … and then later … to assist in the design of the universal. Recognize this true function of Soul … use it to set causes into motion - - and these will manifest according to the Spirits desires for your welfare. The universal mind must first act only upon and through the individuals wishes - - and the individual can only act through the universal. They are one. While engaged in a physical world incarnation … you must learn to deal with both worlds … each according to their teachings and lessons.
Everything is a reflection of the inner cosmic worlds. The past is but a thought, the present a reflection, the future a dream. The world is but a changing scene of conditions, situations, and circumstances created by man. Only the inner world is reality. The outer world is illusion … since the inner brings the outer into manifestation … it is the inner that is the greater reality … bringing the outer effects into manifestation.
Everything man thinks goes inward and is reflected outwardly. It returns to the outer world. Therefore - - the conscious mind should be pure … and Soul is here to first learn to control the conscious mind and emotions … and then apply that as a working aspect of the Universal Whole … within the Whole itself … not engaged in the Lower Psychic Worlds at all … or … to be a working part of both … which is the more adventurous mission … as even the truly advanced individuals must be brought into this world by way of human birth … and that individual must learn it all once more … although the core lessons are brought with him / her deeply within. Perhaps more appropriately … that individual must learn to interpret it all correctly again … and then be available in the Lower Psychic Worlds for service to all within them.
