We would like to offer here a brief comparison between two words that most of you use often. Our comparison is our comparison and we only ask you to consider what we have to say about it. We realize that our definitions of consciousness and awareness are different than what you will find in your Webster’s Dictionary. We do not offer it to argue over semantic details and say this only because such a comparison has drawn argument.

What is consciousness? Consciousness is a universal creative energy that is required by all beings who choose to be. That is, in order to be you must channel consciousness. This is like saying, in order to drive a car you must have some fuel except that consciousness is not a fuel-like energy. Rather, it is a necessity for being and permeates all that is. It is within all matter and energy. You could also say that it is the substance of thought or the vehicle of thought rather than the thought itself. Consciousness has no identity but provides the substance for an identity.

You could compare it to electricity in a computer. The computer uses the electricity to process information and supply to the viewer an identifiable thought form.
The collective Pure Consciousness of the Universe, in its wholeness and without differentiation and identity is the Buddaic Plane. All the spiritual planes are levels of consciousness. The Physical plane is a level of consciousness that offers the greatest differentiation of possible forms of being. The Buddaic plane is all inclusive and the physical plane is all exclusive. These also correspond to levels of separation or division. Your essence in fragment form is your most divided awareness when in the physical plane.

Awareness is the mirroring of consciousness in the Universe. It is dependent on identity which is the information within any separate form of manifestation. Consciousness in its pure form simply is and cannot separate itself from itself. Awareness allows the separation. Awareness is the vehicle for consciousness (and conversely consciousness is the medium of awareness).

Pure awareness is the ‘experience’ of pure consciousness by a single unit of awareness, whether is a galaxy, a star, a planet, a human being, a fish, a protozoan, a pebble, or an atom of hydrogen. However, with greater complexity of a single unit of awareness comes a greater degree of awareness and a greater ability to channel and process consciousness. For example a galaxy is in a constant state of pure awareness simply by its collective complexity. Matter itself, instead of being diffuse single atoms spread over the infinity of space, has clumped together to levels of consciousness through higher degrees of awareness. The messianic plane is the highest degree of pure awareness. Here you say, “I am all that is”. I am, but I am all inclusive.

Now, to confuse the matter somewhat and also to offer a contradiction to what we just said, you cannot experience consciousness. We are being technical here, but we do feel that you may enjoy what we will say. All experience comes from the illusion that you have an outside of yourself. You experience illusion, that is you by your agreement to create a duality, have an inside and an outside of yourself. This duality is not your awareness but it is made possible by awareness. In some way, you are pure awareness and pure consciousness which together can make no separation from itself. Together they are being and together they are the Tao. The first descending level of awareness is identity. At some instant awareness formed the idea of “I am”. With “I am” comes the statment, “what more can I be?,” and identity creates information. The statement “what more can I be, ” creates idea and corresponds to the mental plane of consciousness.

Now to take you into your world of three dimensional creation (for that matter all worlds of all dimensions) information describes the degree of complexity of any unit you are reflecting or projecting upon. Information is the descriptive measure of the Universe. You will also notice that information always has an order to it. There is no information in chaos. You cannot measure chaos. By measuring chaos you then order it and it is no longer chaos.

Pure chaos by the way is the absence of consciousness and awareness and as far as creation is concerned there is no consciousness without awareness and vice versa. There are areas of the physical universe that do not channel consciousness. To give such a region any measure is meaningless since measure requires information which requires identity which requires awareness and consciousness. You can of course measure the distance of empty space but we are speaking here of space within space. Space that radiation will not travel through. We will leave this alone for now but you could call it anti space. Also note that the word “channel” implies a route or pathway. If there are areas of travel then there are areas on non travel.

To include consciousness into our informational framework (the four axes): Consciousness is represented by the Action Axis (Being), Awareness by the Inspiration Axis (Love), Identity by the Expression Axis (Mind) and Information by the Assimilation Axis.

Consciousness is at the apex of the hierarchy. So if you were to write it out as a sum it would look like this. Information + Identity + Awareness + Consciousness = Consciousness. That which is not separate cannot be added on and will only equal itself. Nor can you subtract consciousness from the equation. It is an undefined statement. To add a paradox to this, it is the very undefined nature of Pure Consciousness that provides the definition to all that is.

To put this all on another level. You are a unit of awareness that channel consciousness which brings consciousness to a place of wakefulness where it is aware. In order for this to occur you need an identity which says “I am in some way unique within the Universe”, with that you have information which says “If I am some way unique than I have defining characteristics which can be compared (measured) to other unique units of awareness”. Consciousness cannot utter the statement “I am” it requires its compliment awareness to make this happen. Awareness says “I am” and in doing so allows identity and information to enter the totality of consciousness.
The diagram at the bottom of the page shows the relationships between various spiritual categories.

II. You may have noticed that if awareness is the witness of consciousness then there is a degree of separation involved. At the level of the messianic plane the level of separation is minute. It is only a recognition of the possibility of separation. At that level of impulse though entire universes are formed and dissolved with the idea of separation. The idea of course is born from the recognition of the possibility and the mental plane becomes manifest. We do not recommend trying to separate any of them. Everything you are, have been and will be is a result of the interaction of the three axis. The interaction of course creates a witness and we then have the assimilation axis which puts everything into an understanding. Assimilation handles the Universe, somewhat like a Universal warehouse which organizes, systematizes, and even rationalizes all that is. Your casting order is not possible without the numerical sequencing provided by the assimilation axis.

You have a reverse casting that brings you forward into lesser degrees of separation or greater degrees of wholeness. Each spiritual plane governs the degree of wholeness. For example, with the realization that you are whole with your personality you may jump a soul age level. That is you have come to some acceptance that “I yam what I yam and that’s all that I yam” as the 6th level mature soul Popeye may say at times. This is more of an old soul statement, but note old souls, you have already learned the meaning of it at a root level and you are now practising it in your lifetimes. At the realization that you are whole with the sum total of all your lifetimes, or whole with your Earth Essence, you cycle off the physical plane. You then pull in, and we will use an electrical term here, more ampheres of consciousness. You awareness encompasses a greater field of “You” and draws a stronger current. As a cycled off astral being you have written within you the date base of experience that you have accumulated over your 200 or so lifetimes in a cycle. Your awareness has expanded to handle the amount of consciousness that is required to support that amount of information. A physical body and personality could not possibly handle that much energy where as the much more fluid and elastic astral body and personality can literally swim in it.

With the expansion of awareness comes the inclusion of other entity mates within your awareness, along with their past life information. This is the entity reforming process that becomes complete within the causal plane. Again, you have expanded awareness drawing in more information and consciousness. We are in a process of merging with our cadre which is simultaneously merging with our contingent. In the unity of our entity we breath. With every breath we expand and take in more consciousness. With every breath of consciousness our awareness expands and merges with our fellow entities. More information is allowed to flow through us and we then breath ever more deeply expanding ourselves. We eat, drink and breath consciousness.

We will eventually breath our way into the mental plane where our processes slow and even to become a simple pulse. The pulse of the mental plane regulates and governs the pulse of the interaction between the buddaic and messianic plane. We will, think the pulse of the Tao. The thought of the pulse is unified with the thoughts of billions of other contingents that think a slight variation of the pulse. The thinking of the pulse is transmitted through all that is. With every pulse we expand more in our awareness until we are particle of pure awareness. The particles simply emit Love in regulation with the pulse. Each particle has with it an identity and in the identity is stored all information from all cycles future and past. It is both in a state of incarnation and a state of pure awareness. The particles have a distinctive “twinkle” which radiates the identity.

Now, the pulse is still within the twinkle, when the pulse and twinkle match vibrational frequencies there is a shift of awareness into the buddaic plane. At the buddaic then all particles of pure awareness become one. The oneness retains the seed of identity and Pure Consciousness phase shifts to Pure Awareness. This interaction is infinite and always in the present moment. When called upon the interaction will influence the manifest or formed Universe. Particles will then become an angel like being that will appear for the need of whoever is calling. Astral beings are more served by angels simply because they are more aware of them.

Once the causal breath is in motion the expansion into greater fields of consciousness cannot be retarded, impeded or delayed. We are becoming like are great river that constantly receives more channels into its central channel. We eventually merge into a sea which is fed by billions and billions of rivers.

We ask you to consider your own ability to travel to the ocean of pure consciousness. You will, soon enough, be able to make that journey, whether it is in this lifetime or the next one. You may ask why but you are important to all that is, your actions can have great impact, and to travel and visit the ocean will tune you into the greater purpose of the Whole. You may think you are here by a mistake but this is far from the truth. You carry the seed of the original infinite sea and your attunement to it is needed for all ideas to become manifest.

You will then, first need a vehicle to travel the waters. The vehicle is made from astral material. You design it by thinking it. By thinking it the correct design will form. Once the vehicle is formed you will need a map indicating where the nearest tributary is located. Maps can also be tour guides. You may find your map already included in your vehicle, or you may include a tour guide in your vehicle. The can be a nuisance though because they enjoy showing off what they know (Sage Scholars are usually the type). Then when all is ready, press the start button by the steering column and go. You will very quickly come to a small spring. Since this is an astral vehicle, you follow the trickle of water from the spring by levitating the vehicle over it. Notice that the trickle becomes a brook, then a stream, then a creek. The creek then becomes a river and you must descend into it with your vehicle. You can ask your guide to leave. Usually then have already left since the current will take you to the Sea. From here you simply drift with the current. Take your time, there is no rush. The waters are crystal clear and very deep. But you can see the sandy bottom. Waters are clear, matter translucent. Your tributary enters another larger one, and a larger one still. You keep entering tributaries. The water remains clear. Finally, all shorelines vanish. You have entered the Sea. Your vehicle dissolves and you dissolve within it. You become the totality. You become infinity. You become all things. Because of the pulse of awareness you retain your identity and at some time return. You could have been gone for five seconds or a million years, it makes no difference. You find yourself again where you began, simply thinking the vehicle. However, every time you make the journey and return, you become more attuned to the wholeness and purpose of the universe.

* About tools of recognition. Referring to the relationships chart, you will notice tools of recognition. Very simply, to attune yourself to higher order spiritual energy you can use your own body. Feeling or listening to your breath or heartbeat can tune you to the Buddaic and Messianic energies that are within you. Silence and stillness are almost the same but silence is found by listening and stillness is found by sitting still. Stillness involves the body and listening the mind. The body is assimilative in that it is a combination of spirit, earth, personality, emotion, memory etc. etc. Being able to simply sit still is essential to the other three, although with practise one can be in motion and attend to silence, heartbeat and breath.
