Okay, that's starting to sound familiar. A while back

I wrote about

consciousness arising out of Awareness as the

experiential aspect. Is that what

you're looking for?

Okay, here's the one I was thinking of. Hope it solves the mystery.

 

 

 

Hey, I found out sumthin interesting yesterday; my brow chakra calibrates

well into the range of enlightenment on the Hawkins calibration of

consciousness scale. WooHooo!! My brow is enlightened! Hehe. Oh, but........the

rest of

me isn't. Oops! Hehe.

 

So what's the point? Only that, if we can all agree that none of us knows

our ass from a hole in the ground, we can sit around and have some fun with

concepts that have nothing at all to do with Absolute Truth. For example, we can

ponder just what it is that Awareness is " aware of " . Hmmmm, awareness is the

totality of all that is and there is nothing but awareness. Given that

hypothetical contextual conceptualization, awareness is not " aware of " anything;

it simply IS awareness itself.

 

To be 'aware of' something, one must seemingly not be that which one is

aware of. Since Awareness itself can't play that game, consciousness arises out

of awareness as the experiential aspect of God. Why do it do dat? God is

infinite potentiality, and consciousness is one of those potentialities, and

potentialities tend to actualize. IOW, it does it cause it can.

 

So, what is required in order to be qualified for the job of experiential

aspect of God? Well, first you have to give up your day job as supreme,

omnipotent, omniscient Allness and become a somethingness that can sit behind

the

counter and witness other bits and pieces of somethingness come in and out the

door. IOW, experiencing, by it's nature, is the experience of something that

denies the experience of everything. Experiencing is the birth of separation

and the creation of endless dualities, stuff being experienced through the

perceiving mind that identifies stuff by comparing stuff to other stuff and

figuring out what stuff it's like and what stuff it's just the opposite to,

stuff like that.

 

So the silly question might arise, why can't an experiencer experience

everything that everyone else experiences since all the experiencers are just

pimples growing on the same consciousness, and consciousness is what we all

really are, rather than individual experiencers? We could say that the total

summed experience of all experiencers is equivalent to the total experiential

aspect of God, or consciousness itself, but take a gander at what that consists

of. There are 6.5 billion human experiencers alone. Although the kind of

consciousness is different, animals, plants minerals and even subatomic

particles

are part of the experiential aspect of God. Multiply this by every celestial

object in every universe in every dimension throughout all time and cram that

into the single moment of Now and tell me what that experience looks like.

Damn, I have trouble slowing my own thoughts down! I'm not even gonna go

there, and God can't go there either, which is why you are here and why you

will

never know the experiential reality of anybody else's experience but your own.

 

God is not a concept, not a thought, not a perception, not an experience.

God IS, I AM, get over it. It's far too simple for any of us to comprehend,

which never stopped us from trying.

PS, on that 'enjoying flaming others' thang, I highly recommend taking a

really close look see at that one.
