Method for Awakening Consciousness - The Two Consciousnesses: Objective and Subjective
We have been very wisely told that we possess ninety-seven percent Subconsciousness and three percent Consciousness. Frankly and without ambiguity, we shall state that ninety-seven percent of the Essence we carry within us is bottled, embedded, contained within each of the Egos that, as a whole, constitute the "Myself".
Obviously, the Essence or Consciousness encased within each 'I' is processed by virtue of its own conditioning. Any disintegrated 'I' releases a certain percentage of Consciousness; the emancipation or liberation of the Essence or Consciousness would be impossible without the disintegration of each 'I'. The greater the number of disintegrated 'I's, the greater the Self-Consciousness. The smaller the number of disintegrated 'I's, the smaller the percentage of awakened Consciousness.
It is urgent to transform the subconscious into the conscious, and this is only possible by annihilating the Egos; by dying within oneself. It is not possible to awaken without having first died within oneself. Those who attempt to awaken first and then die do not possess real experience of what they affirm; they resolutely walk the path of error.
The awakening of Consciousness is only possible by dissolving the Ego, dying within oneself, here and now. Unquestionably, while the Essence or Consciousness is embedded within each of the Egos we carry inside, it remains asleep, in a subconscious state.
Newborn children are wonderful; they enjoy full self-consciousness; they are completely awake. Within the body of the newborn child, the Essence is reincorporated, and that gives the creature its beauty.
We do not mean that one hundred percent of the Essence or Consciousness is reincorporated in the newborn, but rather the three percent free that is not normally trapped among the Egos. However, that percentage of free Essence reincorporated into the organism of newborn children grants them full self-consciousness, lucidity, etc.
Adults look at the newborn with pity, thinking the creature is unconscious, but they are regrettably mistaken. The newborn sees the adult as they truly are: unconscious, cruel, perverse, etc. The Selves (Yoes) of the newborn come and go, swirling around the crib, wishing to enter the new body, but because the newborn has not yet fabricated the personality, every attempt of the Selves to enter the new body proves to be more than impossible.
Sometimes infants are startled upon seeing these phantoms or Selves approaching their crib, and then they scream, they cry, but adults do not comprehend this and assume the child is ill or is hungry or thirsty; such is the unconsciousness of adults.
As the new personality forms, the Egos that come from previous existences gradually penetrate the new body. When the totality of the Egos has reincorporated, we appear in the world with that horrible inner ugliness that characterizes us; then we wander like sleepwalkers everywhere; always unconscious, always perverse.
When we die, three things go to the tomb:
Physical Body
Vital Body
Personality
The vital essence, like a ghost, gradually disintegrates before the sepulchral grave as the physical body also disintegrates. The personality is subconscious or infraconscious, entering and leaving the tomb at will; it rejoices when mourners bring flowers, loves its relatives, and slowly dissolves until it becomes cosmic dust.
That which continues beyond the grave is the Ego, the pluralized Self, the 'myself', a multitude of devils within which the Essence, the Consciousness, is encapsulated, and which, in its due time, returns, reincorporates. It is regrettable that, when the new personality of the child is formed, the 'Selves' also reincorporate.
The foregoing allows us to observe that we must undertake two distinct tasks:
1. Awakening the 3% of Objective Consciousness
This part of our being, the 3%, knows the path it must retrace. To awaken it, we must:
1
Begin the work with the Three Factors for the Revolution of Consciousness.
2
Transfer the Center of Gravity, which is currently in the personality, back to the Consciousness.
3
Break free from the fascination that our personality has placed us in with worldly things.
2. Free and Awaken the 97% Subconsciousness
It implies dying within oneself, following these steps:
1
Self-Observation, in order to discover the different defects that manifest.
2
Judgment. Each discovered defect must be judged until fully understood, through reflection and meditation.
3
Elimination. Supplicating our particular Divine Mother.
