This means:
-
That it
has awakened Infinite Consciousness, Infinite Existence
and Infinite Creation, or in more direct terms that it simply is all that;
-
That it
has at its disposal Infinite Knowledge, Infinite Love and
Infinite Power, or rather that it is all these;
-
The ability
of individual Consciousness to be omni-present, or rather
that it has awakened
the principle of absolute movement as being an illusion;
-
Awareness of non-dimensionality as an expression of the principle
of absolute movement and of the dimension of individual
movement as being a mere segment in time and space;
-
“self-awareness”
outside
matter, Energies and Vibrations.
In general terms, Mature individual
Consciousness has realised God as the (only) Reality, and
all else as non-Reality, i.e. as an illusion.
1. PROCESSES AWAKENED BY THE PERSON WITH MATURE CONSCIOUSNESS
These processes are:
a) physical transformation –which assumes the awareness of the relationship Consciousness
- mind - physical body, as well as bringing that relationship
to an optimal level. At the root of this process is awareness
of the senses, which includes the brain as a synthetic organ
of the mind sense, and hence the control over physical processes.
This relationship can be presented as follows:
Consciousness – Vibration
– Energy - matter
b) mental transformation – which assumes awakening of the mind, as well as
of other vibrational-energetic structures, primarily the
Soul, the aura and the Light body. This means bringing man’s
vibrational-energetic processes under direct control of
Consciousness. It can be represented in the following way:
Consciousness – Vibration – Energy
c) spiritual transformation – which represents the awakening the Divine process
in oneself and realising God within oneself. It ends in
being one with God. This can be presented as the following
relationship model:
Consciousness = Consciousness,
or
Infinite Consciousness = individual Consciousness.
The processes of transformation are
mutually connected in a single whole. This on the other
hand does not mean that individual processes do not unfold
independently from each other. Physical and mental transformation
is not sign of the total, but rather of an optimal transformation.
This means that a necessary level has been reached, allowing
for the enfoldment of that primary – spiritual transformation.
2. SPIRITUAL ASPECTS OF A PERSON WITH MATURE CONSCIOUSNESS
It is impossible to entirely and accurately
describe the spiritual aspects of a person with Mature Consciousness,
so we will only point out some of the ways in which these
can manifest:
- Such a person has awakened the state of infinite bliss (also known
as “nirvana”), which they have reached by going beyond sensory
experiences.
- They continually create and radiate a blissful atmosphere, which can
come across as a sense of being relaxed and calm when spending
time near such a person, but also when one is simply thinking
about such an individual without being anywhere near them.
- Love they express is the same towards all, since in each person they
recognise one and the same thing – God within.
- Sees all beings in themselves and themselves in all. That means they
have awakened the Divine process in themselves and in everyone
else, and the same applies to the divine omni-presence in
all things.
- They experience happiness through the happiness of others, which means
that they radiate Vibrations of Love, and because they recognise
that the only thing worth the effort is what is done for
the benefit of another, they are as receptive as they themselves
are generous towards other’s acts of generosity and kindness
towards them.
- The wisdom they possess derives from their infinite goodness.
- Such a person has no duty, they simply exist.
- They see the essence in all processes on the level of matter-Energy-Vibration-Consciousness,
which means movement in stillness and stillness in movement
(“activity within inertia and inertia within activity”).
- They are fully aware of the beginning and an end of Infinite Creation,
Infinite Consciousness and Infinite Existence.
- They never succumb to sloth since they are constantly aware that as long
as there is the limitation of the physical form (the body),
the state of activity is inevitable. And since “every
type of activity contains in itself some sort of imperfection”,
it is not possible to speak of any performance as perfect,
because as it is, it can never reach 100%.
- Through their very existence they express views and arguments, which are
based on their own conduct and experience. They are
fully aware that transfer of Knowledge through one’s presence
is incomparably more significant than any attempt of communicating
Knowledge verbally, dynamically (through movement), visually
(images), etc.
- This person is free from the conditioning of the world of appearances,
since they can distinguish Reality from illusion and are
aware that all that happens takes place in the mind only.
At the same time they are aware that the very same illusion
is the instrument for recognising oneself as Reality.
- They are freed from the eternal cycle of happenings (“the law of cause
and effect”). This “law”, which is the origin of the
so called law of reincarnation, simply does not apply to
them.
- They are freed of “astrological destiny”, because their awakened mind
governs all of their psycho-physical processes, so that
the Vibrations of such a person are outside the planetary
influence.
- They are freed of ”numerological destiny”, which
is defined as the “law of numerology”, since such person’s
infinity of Consciousness absorbs the finality of “the process
within the process”.
- With the person whose Consciousness has fully matured, emotions are rooted
in and arise from their original form as universal Vibration
- Love, while in others they clearly perceive all the varied
emotions and thoughts.
- They know that, which is worth realising, and so they transmit it
through their very presence, and that’s that the only Knowledge
is – Reality (God), and that all else is ignorance.
- They are aware of the unbreakable link between the process of individualisation
of Consciousness and the human nature, which means of
the Divine within.
- They are not burdened by the past, nor are they held hostage by the fears
and hopes of the future. Instead, they exist in the eternal
present.
- They do not analyse nor do they ever plan, because they know that that
is the price of freedom. They do not have the illusion
of control nor of trying to decipher the mysterious future,
which is achieved through planning and programming (by the
mind).
- They do not create an illusion of hope in themselves or in others,
since they know that hope, filled with Vibrations, obscures
one’s awakening to the present moment.
- They express “unlimited individuality”, meaning their awareness of
the existence of Oneness with God, but with individual signature
in His manifestations.
- They find “reward” in the fact that they have matured; by competing
with themselves they continue the path of infinite maturing.
- They have a simultaneous experience of God as something unfathomable
by the mind and of
themselves as a manifestation perceived by the mind.
3. MANIFESTATION OF MATURE CONSCIOUSNESS
In their essence, Mature individual Consciousnesses
do not differ, but their individual manifestations do. However, attempting to compare
them and determine which is “higher or lower”, “more or
less mature” and so establish some sort of hierarchy would
be, quite simply, wrong. Equally, any attempt to make a
precise definition of the differences in their manifestations
is just as impossible. This is why we can only point out
to their basic manifesting aspects:
-
aspects
of the Saint,
-
aspects
of the Perfect Teacher
-
aspects
of the Sage,
-
aspects of Avatar (“Divine messenger”).
3.1. Aspects of the Saint
-
adheres
to his/hers religious
convictions, while entirely respecting all others;
-
differs
from other saints since their life and religious experiences
are different from his/her own;
-
addresses God through prayer, which activates the whole
of the mind (as a figure of speech: “Man acts, and God is
an instrument.”);
-
has an
awakened mind, which automatically also assumes a full awareness
of the religious convictions;
-
goal: he/she awakens
others through a direct, personal religious experience.
“The saint acts, but owns nothing.
He perfects, expecting no honours.
He has no desire to appear wise.
True words need not be carefully chosen;
Carefully chosen words need not be true.
Love and hate can not touch him.
To gain and loss he remains impartial.
Praise and dishonour do not affect him.
Hence he is prized by the whole world.”
Lao Tzu
3.2. Aspects of the Perfect Teacher
-
has no
religious convictions;
-
has an
awakened mind;
-
always
appears to his/her pupil when most needed;
-
removes
obstacles to self-realisation in others (“dispels the darkness”);
-
tears down
the illusion of peace, guiding the pupil on the path of
progress through their inner conflict (“facing oneself”);
-
amidst
the wealth of life’s possibilities he/she points out those
that are in harmony with the pupil’s individual path;
-
goal: to awaken
a teacher in each pupil, so that a pupil can eventually
surpass the teacher, and to in such a way maintain the process
of mutual awakening.
“True teacher guards his pupils from personal influence.”
Alkot
3.3. Aspects of the Sage
-
has no
religious convictions;
-
the mind
is muted, and is fully activated only when engaged in communication
with others;
-
the Sage’s
teaching stems from his/her silence, by which he/she awakens
others;
-
he/she
is indifferent to life and death, joy and sorrow, good and
bad fortune, etc;
-
he/she
is agreeable to any type of activity and has renounced the
desire for the fruits of
own actions;
-
all Sages
are the same;
-
goal: has none,
the Sage simply exists.
“Just like a path of an eagle in the sky and the snake
on the ground, so invisible is the path of the Sage.”
Buddha
3.4. Aspects of Avatar
-
embodies
in him/herself the aspects of the other three: the Saint,
the Perfect Teacher and the Sage;
-
the mind
is muted, and is fully activated only when engaged in communication
with others;
-
they are
their own authority;
-
they react
to their own stimulus;
-
God becomes
man (as a figure of speech: ”God
acts, man is an instrument.”);
-
all Avatars
are the same;
-
they usually
live in silence, breaking it only when they are directly
manifesting God; this consequently speeds up the development
of awareness of the whole of humanity;
-
goal: by their
very existence they awaken humanity.
“And yet, when humanity becomes deaf to the thunder of
His silence, God incarnates as man.”
Meher Baba
