From a site visitor: [Received 05 January 2007] Would you talk more about that Child Ignorance you mentioned to Luca today? Thank you.
F.: The manifestation and corruption of consciousness results in seven degrees of separation from Reality and leads to persons identifying with the false “I.” In order to once again be in touch with Reality, the same seven steps must be taken, but in reverse order. Ultimately, all beliefs and concepts must be abandoned as one discards both body identification and “mind”/personality identification.
Freedom from “mind”/personality identification begins when the focus is on the I AM, but no further movement toward reality can happen unless every instance of following “I am” with a word is abandoned. That means not only must the belief end that “I am this body” or “I am a spouse” or “I am an employee,” ad infinitum. It also means that “I am…a religious person” and “I am…spiritual” must also be abandoned because those are also nothing more than “mind”-generated personas/personalities/roles. On the “path,” they are usually the last two personas/ego-states/false identities to “go,” but their abandonment makes way for the shift to the Child Ignorance stage.
With that abandonment and the return to the Child Ignorance level where freedom from concepts happened then and can happen now, all beliefs and concepts can fall aside readily. The re-purifying consciousness is returned to that stage which was prior to programming and conditioning. At that Child Ignorance stage, the manifestation of consciousness had happened but that stage was prior to the bastardization of the consciousness…prior to programming and conditioning and the teaching of concepts.
As the reverse order process to Realization is followed step-by-step, the Child Ignorance level is the transitional stage between freedom from beliefs in concepts and the (newly-recovered) ability that You--at the unprogrammed child level--had: the ability to merely witness without judging, without drawing conclusions, without becoming emotionally attached to power, without trying to use power to control others and the world and the future, and without trying to influence outcomes. Please enter the silence of contemplation. [To be continued]
