Dan: Anna Maria once said the life is light dancing. I would agree with that

fully. Is light brought to light, as unconscious becoming conscious, or are

barriers to light stripped away? I suppose that whatever works is useful.

Light dances often unbenownst to us, unacknowledged by us, and without our

awareness participating consciously. Sometimes we seem not to want to

know, not in the sense of *unknowing* but in the sense of avoiding something

inconvenient, uncomfortable, or "demanding".

 

If bringing light to light is stripping away the ignorance of

our assumed knowledge, then awareness is

the only game in town. Does knowing less and less mean no reponsibility?

I don't think so. When awareness is the only game in town, remaining

unconscious (in the sense of trying to avoid or push away awareness and

experience) is delusion, a double-bind self-contradiction.

 

*Unknowing* as relaxation into full "awareness" can be viewed as the point

where conscious and unconscious aspects of being are fully balanced and

fully inform each other. In other words, the apparent barrier between

conscious and unconscious is ended, the

ego self identified with supposed consciousness is ended, and consciousness

turns out to be "hand in glove" with "the unconscious." This isn't exactly

making the unconscious conscious, it's the next step beyond that. It's not

making anything, so that the unconscious and conscious are no longer two -

some call this "pure consciousness" some "total awareness" some "God"

some

"Self" but we can't really name it, as it alone remains unnamed after

everything else has been said.
