If consciousness is not personal, what does it mean we earn the chance for better opportunities or for better choices? It’s like consciousness is the field, the field; karma is still content. One has not escaped content yet. To go beyond karma means to have escaped the limitation of content. Consciousness is infinite context. It has no form, like the sky. Karma would be like a cloud. It still has form; it hangs loose within the sky; it’s within the sky. So, karma then would be the consequence of one’s spiritual decisions have an influence on the shape of the cloud, but consciousness is like the sky. The field of consciousness which is impersonal is unaffected by the cloud. Where the cloud goes in the sky will depend on its shape, size, consistency, humidity, barometric pressure, and many things, yes? You see, in the meditative technique to realize the Presence of God, one
goes back from identifying with the content of consciousness to the field itself to realize that I am not the content of the mind; I am that upon which the mind is playing, see? It’s like I am the receiver and not the notes of the music. The receiver remains the same no matter what music is
playing on it.  You all of a sudden jump from identifying with the content—I am those thoughts, words, images and memories—to I am That which empowers them to become known. So, you become the knower of the field. You become the witness. You become, at a certain level, the experiencer.

If you’re caught in an emotional emergency, the best way to do is to breathe the energy up from – usually, it’s your solar plexus that’s in a panic.  Breathe the energy of your solar plexus up to the crown chakra, and while you do that, go, “hahaha, hahaha,” while thumping the thymus, and the sound of “mm.” As you breathe the energy up, you’re out of the panic right away; you’re out of the upset.  …You thump over the thymus gland.  The thymus gland is the controller of the acupuncture system and the immune system.  It’s right behind the breastbone.  The sound “ah” makes you go strong with kinesiology, as does Love.  So if you want to come out of a bad energy state, you think of somebody you love and you go, “hahaha, hahaha, hahaha,” as you thump the chest.  Now, if I test you with kinesiology, you’ll go strong.

 The Path to Spiritual Advancement: How to Transcend the Ego and Experience the Presence of God, Ch. 4, pg. 83

What I usually emphasize is both meditation and aligning your life so that you make your life the prayer. You try to live and become that which you are studying and learning. You become forgiving. In the beginning, forgivingness seems like an artificial practice. Jesus Christ said, “Forgive them, for they know not what they do.” That’s a mentalization, and when you’re angry at somebody, it may cross your mind, and you think, Well, I should probably be seeing it differently, but I don’t. But as you get deeper in it, then you think, Well, how can I see this through different eyes? How can I alter my experience of this? Then that requires a deeper study. You’re trying to go from the familiarity of the intellectual to the experiential. You’re trying to become that which was formerly mental and is now incorporated into your personality and your way of actually being in the world.

…You meditate on some specific truth that you’ve picked up until you really become the awareness of the truth and the reality of that. Then you don’t need to tell yourself, “Well, I should be forgiving that person.” You start to see, eventually, that everybody is only being what they are, what they can be at the moment. Everybody is just being what they could be at the moment, and if not, it’s because they can’t be. If they were able to be different, they would be. You have a certain sympathy for everyone, that everyone is pretty much stuck with the human condition. And the human condition is, frankly, extremely difficult, for the individual as well as for whole societies and civilizations.

…A contemplative lifestyle is more effective. It’s a way of being in the world, because now you’re trying to become that which you have studied. You can do it continuously. A person can be contemplative no matter what they’re doing. My own lifestyle was contemplative for many years, and I was aware of exactly how I was being with each specific incident. That way, you become more aware of the reality of other people, as well. You become aware of their reality, and get out of the solipsistic view that reality is how you see it. You become aware that there’s a reality, and this is just the way you are seeing it. This is not the way the world is—it’s the way you’re seeing the world.

What anything ‘means’ is identical with what it is, for what it is, is its meaning. With this realization, the essence of the world shines forth with the Radiance of Divinity as revelation, and all is seen to be equally loveable, perfect, magnificent, and beautiful. To restate: The world as it is, is perfect for the advancement of human consciousness as it provides maximum opportunity for gaining positive merit and the undoing of the negative via the spiritual options of the will.  To see it as such results in gratitude as well as forbearance with seemingly negative experiences that involve suffering.

To be ‘spiritual’ means that intention is focused on spiritual goals, meaning and spiritual recontextualization of life’s events and experiences.  It also means to value the gift of life itself as well as that of other sentient beings.  Spiritual intention itself recontextualizes all of life in all its expressions, and thereby meaning and significance become apparent.

Despite dedication to the goal of Enlightenment, the mind seems reluctant, resistant, or even too lazy to go through the necessary process.   How can that be overcome?

Resistance is to be expected and accepted as an innate quality of the ego.  Part of its function is stabilization in order to facilitate performance and reliability.  It does not like to feel out of control or off balance and is thus resistant to being questioned or examined, which is perceived as a potential threat to its sovereignty.

The ego has a vested interest in its positionalities, presumptions, and assumptions.  There is therefore an ambivalence regarding change–on the one hand, it is exciting and interesting, but on the other hand, it can be viewed as an unwelcome challenge and resented.  Thus, it tends to maintain the status quo, even if doing so continues to be unsatisfactory; for example, repeating the same resistances over and over, hoping for a difference outcome.
