F.: The point was offered yesterday that…
…personality is rooted in body identification and “mind” conditioning which personalize the consciousness…which (falsely) “individualize the consciousness,” so to speak. The de-personalization process, therefore, must go back to its roots to be cut off there: being free of the misidentification with the body and “mind” must happen before one can be freed from the misidentification with personas. After the end of identification with body-mind-personality happens, the Child Ignorance state is re-entered and the consciousness will be aware that it Is. The witness will observe that manifest principle and will accept no false identities as real.
Along the “path” to Realization, if the consciousness remains fixed in the awareness of its Is-ness, the shift to the objective witnessing level can happen next. From that “platform,” You realize that You must be something that is even apart from the re-purifying consciousness. Why?
What is it that knows the consciousness, that consciousness which had been bastardized starting shortly after its manifestation? It is the re-purifying consciousness that knows. [Notice that it the “re-purifying consciousness” at that point, not the “re-purified consciousness.” As a result, many at the “re-purifying” stage believe that they are at the “re-purified” stage, causing many to mistake the dawn for high noon.] From that “platform” by which the consciousness can be witnessed, it becomes clear that the witnessing element must be apart from that which it is witnessing. During this subject-object stage of objective witnessing, the consciousness becomes aware that it is something other than that formerly corrupted, now re-purifying, consciousness. From there, it can seek to know exactly what it Is.
At that point, the "almost re-purified" consciousness can come to know the True Witness (also known as, the Pure Witness or the True Self). Subject-object witnessing fades aways as the Pure Witness comes to know both itSelf and the unicity. Once the consciousness is further re-purified after a period of abiding in the Is-ness—that is, after a period of abiding in the awareness of the relative-existence veracity of the I-Amness only—it can come to know from that platform the Absolute. Having transcended identification with the manifest consciousness, conditions then become ripe for transitioning to the full awareness state. From there, abidance as the Am-ness transitions into abidance as the Absolute.
Finally, another misunderstanding occurs when persons come to believe that the awareness state is a spiritual state. For clarity, the question should be asked, “WHO, at that point, is spiritual?” In fact, “The Spiritual Person” was a role that had to be played (but subsequently had to be abandoned) before a full shift into the Child Ignorance state happened. Later, the Child Ignorance state can transition into the two witnessing states. It should be seen, therefore, how far removed the spiritual state is from the awareness state and why so many who adopt a spiritual persona as some sort of a “grand finale” mistake the mid-point of the “journey” for the culmination of the "journey." Ensnared as they are in that spiritual ego-state, persons generate as much separation (and reinforce as much belief in duality) as persons fixated in their identification with the “I.” A false identity is a false identity...by any name. Please enter the silence of contemplation. [To be continued]
