Consciousness
Consciousness is the connecting glue which draws together everything in
the universe. It is the instrument through which we communicate with the outer
world. There is an entire energo-informational
field of which we make part, we are connected and interact with. The meaning of the existence
of information is fundamental since it is information which pushes the universe
towards evolution. When a disorder of this communication is caused, we
eventually arrive at imbalance, which can be exhibited to the man as disease.
According to quantum physics there is no absolute vacuum; where we once considered
there was emptiness we now know that some kind of activity is being done. We also
know that time is not a linear course but consciousness is the one which
creates the impression of the linear flow of time. Universe is governed by non-local connectivity which is
nonetheless precise and rapid.
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was
with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All
things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being
that has come into being” (St John,
Apocalypse).
The first stage of the descending route of the
unexternalised Word is Adi field, where the three
aspects of it, Shiva, Vishnu
and Brahma, or Father,
Son and Holly Spirit are being expressed. Next field is Anupadaka, where it undergoes the first restraint and its
facet as First Word is inactive. During the next stage it undergoes another
limitation and only the Third Word can be manifested at the Nirvanic field. In the latter it is exhibited as a
triple expression of Atma,
Buddhi and Manas. In this field, the Triple Monad is a miniature of the Word, a
representation pretty much the same with the icon of its creator. As soon as it
descends from the Nirvanic field, it undergoes a new limitation and its aspect
of Atma is covered; only Buddhi and Manas are being expressed. When it reaches
the mental field it undergoes another restraint and only the facet of Manas
appears at the higher mental field. Consequently, what is left, that is Ego,
being a part of the Word right from the beginning, descends to incarnation and
goes through new limitations while forming consecutively the mental, the astral
and the physical body.
The development of consciousness is exactly this reverse, upwards
route, the liberation and realization of all hidden energies. We perceive the world
three-dimensional because this is the cognitive system we have until now
developed. If an object with e.g. four dimensions is presented to a creature
which perceives only three dimensions, this object undergoes a limitation and
is perceived as three-dimensional. The same thing happens with the Word.

Every man functions on a different level and
has therefore different degree of consciousness. There are people who pop in
and out the nirvanic field and others which have only evolved until the astral
body. The man who enters the nirvanic field needs no more to incarnate, he has
liberated from the cycle of the consecutive incarnations called samsara. Few
are those who have developed their lower mental body and even fewer those who
have developed the upper mental body. Developing until the causal body, which
comes next, would mean to reach philosophical intellect. From then on the
visionary experience of the world begins.
The level of consciousness of the man is the
prism through which perceives whatever exists outright subjectively. This is impressed upon his aura
because the latter is the prism, therefore its purification and evolution
permits the formation of a fuller prism which approaches better the higher
levels of consciousness. The energy centers (chakras) are those which specify
the level of consciousness, as a consequence, their complete activation permits
the liberation to higher levels.
The levels of consciousness correspond to the
chakras and the bodies they form. With his physical body man experiences the three-dimensional world. The
man who has fully developed his third chakra and mental body functions on the
corresponding level. Immediately afterwards comes the person who has opened his
heart and experiences the vibration and the creative power of universal love. A
more advanced person has such pure aura and so activated his upper chakras,
that perceives differently his essence and his relation to the “Whole”. The
distinction between the levels is clear and rather rigid according to energetic
hierarchy. The so-called hells are the extremely low levels where a soul
can be introduced after repeated incorrect attempts of development and remain
there. The development of humanity will come when all will be able to function
in the nirvanic field. Man is spiritual essence which obtained physical body.
So we should cease to identify ourselves on our physical body only and realize
the supreme essence of our existence in order to proceed to the upward,
energetically evolutionary path, and finally achieve our fusion with the
fountain of creation. One should keep in mind that the aim of the creator is to
bring harmony through chaos and that it is impossible for someone to move
against the plans of this primal creative force. Man is its creation and
result and as such he owes to move as determined in order to develop smoothly.
