Part 4 of 5
There can be no doubt that the world situation today is
grave. It is becoming increasingly apparent that the institutions,
governments, and traditional methods of society, have little
effectiveness in solving a collective crisis of global proportions.
In this respect even wholesale environmental destruction or
international war, is not the true essence of the modern crisis.
Political parties and social policies are not in themselves at
the root of human suffering.
Wars and corruption are not at ultimate fault in the failure of
world peace agendas.
All of these conditions of the modern age are but symptoms of a
central problem, one that is far beyond the reach of presidents and
governments to remedy.
Our worldwide social obstacle to fulfillment as a species, comes
from the central root of wrongly focused consciousness.
Therefore, the modern condition stems not from procedural
inadequacy, but from a deep spiritual deficit.
Thousands of years ago we began to
collectively assume that the purpose of life was the accumulation of
material possessions beyond need. Materialism
arose through artificial thinking, and we began to fear truth and our
true nature, as spiritual beings. As
we turned away from our spiritual selves, we also began to de-value
nature and even that which is called God, as a spiritual resource.
In doing this, we began believing that only what is immediately
perceived by the senses has any value in life.
It is this spiritual deficit which drains the energy away from
all efforts at world peace. It is materialism which robs our natural joy of its sparkle,
making fear the materialists’ ever-present shadow. To reverse the trends of the modern condition, it is our
responsibility to turn away from materialism and the society which
embraces it, to again realize the central purpose of life and living.
This central purpose is the expansion of consciousness.
Consciousness has always driven the course of evolution forward,
and even now it is the central foundation for every reading eye, every
breath, and every act we perform. To
expand consciousness is therefore to fundamentally change and improve
our every act in life, and also to intentionally evolve ourselves and
our planet as conscious beings.
There can be no political solutions.
The systems and laws created by humanity are not the essence of
reality, and cannot be the source for our renewed progress in peace and
spiritual prosperity. We cannot realistically expect to find peace and fulfillment
within the folly generated by politics or modern governments of any
kind. The reason for this
is clear. There is yet a much higher order than that which has been
invented by courts, popes and presidents.
This higher order is known as Nature, and its edicts are those of
Natural Law. In applying ourselves to this higher order completely, and
without allowing interference from the inferior laws of human-kind, we
are then freed to ascend and evolve at will.
But to accomplish this significantly greater degree of
enlightenment, the willingness to both reject society, and disregard its
petty considerations as irrelevant, is extremely useful.
Modern beliefs in the Dollar as God for instance, simply must be
dethroned, and so must the governments and corporations who peddle such
religious notions. To
reject materialism is therefore necessary to significantly progress on
the path of spiritual realization.
This act becomes a matter of lifestyle, and not just
intellectualism. In so doing we find that our only true need is to
satisfy the intentions of both our own souls and Nature/God.
The road to greater self realization
is endless, and there is no such thing as ultimate enlightenment, only
higher and ever higher levels of spiritual embodiment. One of the main obstacles to progress on this road, is belief
in that which is not in accord with natural law.
In other words, belief in the false, is as sure a deterrent to
real progress, as is apathy and ignorance.
To expand our consciousness then, it is of paramount importance
to re-evaluate all the suppositions which make up the modern world.
In so doing we find that society has been permeated by the lies
of centuries. These
falsehoods are a block to not only personal enlightenment, but world
peace. The more false
beliefs are removed from the mind, the more consciousness will tend to
naturally expand. Likewise,
the more consciousness expands, the more we tend to challenge the status
quo in the most fundamental manner, because clarity and love allow
insights into what is normally accepted as unchallengable.
Those who have already challenged the
falsehoods of our day, have emerged victorious in their defeat of
personal illusion, to a great extent.
It is they who are ready to cooperate in the spirit of good will,
for the further growth of not only themselves, but the entire planet as
well. In some practitioners
the realization of what is naturally true and therefore worthy of life
focus, (and what is not) has grown to a great extent.
At this point they are prepared to engage the power of their
consciousness to actually manifest a new world.
It is understood at some level by such persons, that intent is a
force of consciousness which is capable of not only transforming the
self, but also the environment in which we live.
As we combine this inner force of Intent together for the sake of
mutual upliftment, our spiritual will begins to reverse the trends of
society. In effect it
begins to transform the state of the World Mind, or collective
consciousness of society. Such
effects are manifest initially on a psychic level, and subsequently on
the physical level of social relations.
Just as love is made perceptible when lovers enter an otherwise
cold room, so too is are the loving intentions of meditators from around
the world, in combined focus.
Through group meditation we are making
perceptible and cumulative shifts in the “world vibration and
intent”, (World Mind). In
so doing, world meditations act as a psychic/social purifier, of
international fear and discord. The
world crisis can ONLY be effectively addressed at this level of
international and domestic action.
Political and social reform cannot in themselves be
successfully implemented by throwing dollars at the collective symptoms
of spiritual disease. Only
by addressing the root of the modern crisis, in the expansion of
consciousness, do we have any real hope of the lasting improvement in
the human condition. This
is true because no system or constitution, no matter how noble its
original intention, can afford lasting peace so long as the
consciousness of those who implement it remains lacking.
The maintenance of high(er) levels of consciousness, using a
progressive intent on the other hand, can take any system or document,
no matter how corrupt, and turn it into a productive and satisfying
social collective. Let us then turn our attention away from corrupt
political parties, social systems and governments, to the true source of
governance which cannot lead us astray.
Let us return to nature and natural laws, to God and soul for
real nurturance in the application of genuine wisdom.
In accomplishing this we expand the essence which underlies our
every act, and which the soul knows well.
This essence is consciousness itself, composed of energy,
awareness and intent, just like everything else in the cosmos.
There
are very notably six major focuses, or intentions, which have
consciousness-expanding properties.
These six are described intensively by the Perpetual Raising
series as;
1)
Energy, (the progressive gaining thereof).
2)
Vibration, (or love, and the progressive raising thereof).
3)
Clarity, (or awareness of awareness, and the progressive
crystallization thereof).
4)
Expansion, (of the progressive enlargement/manifestation of any
state).
5)
Right Intent/action, (ever increasing spiritual will).
6)
Right alignment, (the deepening of one’s connection to God,
Nature and soul).
These have been described in detail
previously, (see the Perpetual Raising).
The reader is invited to explore how these six intentions, or
focuses, combine to greatly expand ones’ consciousness raising
efforts.
For the practitioners’ reference, the following
table demonstrates the effects in combining two or more elements of
consciousness expansion. This
table reflects very similar results at the personal, group and worldwide
levels. Cross-reference the six elements of consciousness expansion
below to find their combined result. Note that clarity combined with
clarity, (the first cross-referenced cell below) simply results in more
clarity, and therefore an “X” is shown.
Clarity combined with love, (vibrational height) results in
“Ecstasy, enhanced intelligence, great spiritual insight”, etc…

Naturally, the graph above only shows the simple combination of two
types of Intentions at a time. For
the advanced meditator who has a disciplined mind, all six of the above
elements can be used simultaneously, or one after another in succession.
In so doing the advanced practitioner can render much greater results
than those shown above. But
in the group setting where practitioners specialize in their Intentions,
each participant need only focus upon one type of Intent at a time,
while keeping aligned with other specialists and their effects.
Such specialization amplifies the group-mind strength of the
meditation, to expand the consciousness of all involved.
This accounts for much of the psychic power inherent when
meditators specialize in their Intent, for the good of the group.
Individual practitioners and groups are invited to
explore the potentials of the multiple focuses listed above, in the
World Raising meditations. This
table is only a rough outline of the potentials involved with the
multiple use of the six intentions above. Many potential effects other
than those listed are very possible. Only experience and experimentation
will reveal greater specifics, (and exceptions) which exceed the scope
of this present text.
Groups and individuals are invited to try variations
on the meditational themes presented in this article series, (and that
of The Perpetual Raising).
Practitioners within local groups may opt to mutually focus upon
only one of the six consciousness expanding focuses at a time.
A group may meet for instance, for the expressed purpose of
gaining mutual clarity, and projecting this sole quality to each other
and the world. Greater
love, energy, right alignment, expansion, and spiritual will, may also
be the sole subject of group or individual focus, for the duration of a
given meditation. The most
highly recommended technique however, is the specialization of Intent
within the group, meaning that each individual member take on one of the
six specialized roles above, for the good of the collective focus. When
meditators do this, they employ their specific focus in both raising
themselves and everyone else in the group AS
ONE. Generators for
instance, will raise chi not only into their own bodies but all others
present, by visualizing the entire group as gaining energy, (see
Perpetual Raising series). The minimum recommended number for such
specialized groups, (where each of the six consciousness expanding
elements is represented) is seven.
This number includes the six focuses above, as well as the
position of Field Coordinator or Guide, (see the Perpetual Raising
series). Additional participants over the recommended seven, are
perfectly acceptable and desirable, due to the
Group Mind principle.
In the case of our Global Group Mind Meditations, such
focuses render similar psychic effects, except at a distance.
Remember that consciousness is not bound by time or space.
Thus far we have discussed the raising of the World Mind of
Humanity, particularly in Part 3. The
consciousness of the Earth however, (the Earth Mind) may be raised even
more readily than that of the World Mind. Interestingly, the individual
and group-mind raising of the Earth Mind, results in various psychic
effects, which are generally more pleasant for the practitioner.
Earth-raising Intentions create feedback that is qualitatively
different than that received from most modern human communities, or the
World Mind in general.
To focus awareness upon Nature, is to implicitly
align ones’ consciousness with the plants, animals and minerals which
compose it. Most animals
and plants do not possess the same mental capacities as the human being.
This fact however, does not imply that the consciousness (intent,
awareness and energy) of plants and animals, is to be underestimated.
Plant and animal life renders very sophisticated effects upon the
fields of consciousness at large, especially in terms of group mind influence. Their
collective effects are in fact very deep ones, reflecting a natural
state of being which humanity has currently forgotten, (for the most
part). A forest for
instance is a local group mind, which is itself a splinter of the
overall Earth Mind, just as a human community is a splinter of the World
Mind. The psychic effects
of a forest, (particularly one which has not been recently disturbed by
human interference) is a source for healing and spiritual regeneration.
This is especially true of old growth forests.
The natural states of being found in wild areas have
very profound qualities, which we may regain if the Intent to do so is
in place. Among these qualities are high, wide-spectrum vibrations,
(feelings) high energy levels, a purity of Intent, and expansive,
unobstructed clarity. Even
Divine connection, (right alignment) is enhanced in nature.
For these reasons, the Native peoples of the world have always
rightly considered nature to be their very source and temple of God, and
worship its forms accordingly.
In acquiring natural states of mind, we are returned
to the dignity of a balanced lifestyle, and deep wisdom for right
living. The practitioner should take every opportunity to align
themselves with Nature and natural areas, so as to regain their many
psychic benefits. Alignment
with the Earth provides a psychic cleansing of the body/mind.
The high vibrational levels of natural areas, and their full
spectrum of radiated, (psychic) emanations, balances our state of being.
They make us more receptive to the inputs of the soul and the Divine.
With knowledge of consciousness we may even access the wisdom of
the Earth Mind, as the holder of eons of wisdom, just as Native peoples
have always done. The Earth Consciousness maintains those states of
right living and evolutionary Intent, which benefits all creatures. Thus it is an indispensable resource for spiritual
regeneration, in this current artificial-ized age.
To achieve greater mastery of the self and progress as souls in
bodies, we must make full use of our Earth connections, for these are
our true foundation as biological beings.
So long as we are in a physical body, we must attend to the
physical realities of existence and spiritual practice.
There is no better way to care for the balance and well being of
the mind and body, than to stay aligned with the Earth Mind.
This is accomplished in large part through natural and practical
living. It is also accomplished by communing with nature, while in
meditative states of consciousness.
The same is true for our collective consciousness.
For society to regain its balance and natural wisdom, we must all
return en masse, to the Earth for council and healing. This is an inherent part of spiritual practice and cannot be
neglected.
The World Raising meditations mentioned previously, (for use in
World Mind improvement) may also be used in the context of Earth Mind
benefit. Basically, the
same procedure may be employed in Earth Raising as those mentioned in
Part 3 of this series. Groups
of practitioners may meet at a specific time and place that is
appropriate for meditation. In
Earth Mind focus, the place of meditation is ideally a natural area such
as a forest. It should also
be one that will be relatively undisturbed.
Holding the meditational setting in a natural area is not a
necessity, but it is a bonus for the achieving and maintaining of higher
consciousness. The felt,
psychic emanations of plants and animals act to relieve the stress of
urban living, implicitly performing the function of psychic protection
and spiritual purification. Forests
act as a literal “psychic buffer” from the general stress and fear
in society. This makes them
ideal places for meditation and psychic/spiritual work of all kinds.
If it is not possible for the group to meet in a natural area,
then an acceptable alternative will have to be a communion with nature
via the power of thoughtforms. To
employ thoughtforms of this kind even while in the midst of a large
city, one need only hold the visualization of being in a deep forest,
(preferably involving all of the senses of sight, sound, touch, smell
and even taste). By picturing yourself in a forest in this way, you
create a resonant thoughtform-connection with nature, which is the
second best thing to being there yourself. Perform this thoughtform
connection for 3-10 minutes prior to your Earth Raising meditation.
Note
the differences in the following meditation, to the World Mind-raising
format, (see Part 3);
1)
Employ the usual procedure for meditational preparation.
2)
Meditate together using a pre-agreed meditational form, such as
the Chakra Meditation. This step
may be shortened according to preference, and the experience level of
the group.
3)
Once
the desired state of consciousness has been gained, meditators may then
turn
their focus to one another. A raising of mutual consciousness through
group mind focus, will always enhance the group’s ability to project
higher states of being into the environment.
A group which first elevates itself through the mutual Intent raise,
is then in a better position to psychically aid the Earth Mind. The
higher the level of consciousness of an individual or group, the higher
will their psychic/spiritual effects be, as a principle.
Note;
The group may
opt to include the local surroundings they are in, as a part of the
mutual, group mind enhancement process.
Each meditator may visualize and feel not only the psychic
connections between themselves, they may also visualize and feel the
connections with surrounding trees, animals, the land in general, etc.
In essence, practitioners may include in their group mind, such
entities as trees, animals and even surrounding regions.
The group can then to proceed to raise its mutual
level of consciousness through the Intent to do so, (as described by The
Perpetual Raising series).
The recommended length of this step is about 15-30 minutes, as
coordinated by the Guide or other facilitator.
Once a group has raised its collective level of consciousness to
a degree that is mutually satisfactory, they may then proceed to step
four.
4)
Step 4 consists of the employment of a group visualization of the entire
natural world. Visualize
our planet as if seen from space. See
in the mind’s eye all the great remaining forested regions, the
deserts, oceans, rivers, plains, the atmosphere, polar ice caps, the
molten core beneath the surface, etc., of the Earth.
5)
While maintaining the image of the planet in the mind, see the
influence of the group in the form of a bright light, extending out from
the local region in which it exists, and spreading rapidly over the
entire Earth, (and all of its natural areas).
6)
Expand
the group mind state at the same time, while visualizing the expanding
light in step five. Feel love, clarity, energy, right alignment and
spiritual will expand outward from the
group, (as registered by the feeling/Awareness throughout body). It
is important to do this while maintaining the light visualization. Send
love, clarity, greater energy, Divine connection, (right alignment) and
spiritual will to all parts of the planet, including the Earth’s core
and surrounding atmosphere. In
sending these out simultaneously, a group of seven or more meditators
can create a very powerful psychic effect.
This effect is of great aid to the Earth Mind.
Practitioners will note that after they send out such intentions
for the aid of the Earth, it will respond by sending a reciprocating
wave of consciousness back to the group on a progressive basis.
The higher the states of consciousness sent into the Earth, the
greater will its psychic feedback become.
This is sometimes not the immediate case, when dealing with the
World Mind of humanity. Be
prepared for this feedback-reciprocation, it can give you an enormous
spiritual boost!
7)
Intend that the Earth Mind as a conscious entity, gain the best
possible benefit from the projected qualities of the group. Intend that the
effects so projected, render permanent benefit for the Earth Mind and
all of its creatures in general. In
so doing you will gain the support of the Earth Mind, and achieve very
high states of consciousness, (as well as receive profound insights on
many occasions).
