Welcome to Reality

States of Consciousness

​

"States of Consciousness" does not mean states of individual consciousness. It means states of Consciousness itself. Consciousness itself is an unbounded field of pure Awareness. Consciousness has distinct perspectives of itself as it becomes more awake to its total reality, with many levels of clarity and refined perception within each state. These states cannot be missed. Experience, knowledge, perception, and reality are completely different in each, even though Consciousness always remains the same One Consciousness. 

​

Cosmic Consciousness
or "Self-Realization" is awakening to being Pure Consciousness itself. It is the first stage of Enlightenment. It is a very profound shift in your sense of being and existing — in your sense of who you are. It is not an attitude or mood. The sense of Self shifts from being the person you think you are to being the unbounded field of Awareness itself in which the person and all perceptions exist. You discover that no separate individual sense of self exists at all. The separate individual self was an illusion that arose from conditioning and false identification with the individual body-mind. Your real Self has always been unbounded, infinite, and free.  


It is not an altered state of Consciousness.  It is being Consciousness Itself — what you really have always been.  It is not a temporary experience; it is a natural, permanent state of being. The innermost Self awakens to its unboundedness and finds itself the silent source of everything everywhere. Even though this feels like the final step and there is nowhere else to go, it is only the first step in the unfoldment of Consciousness to itself.

 

Refined Cosmic Consciousness 

or "God-Realization" is Consciousness's refined perception of its nature as the process of experiencing.  It is the perception of the flow of divine intelligence responsible for all thinking, feeling, perceiving, and experiencing all forms and phenomena everywhere in your entire field of perception.   The underlying mechanics of the process of creation are revealed.   The cosmic dimension of the individual mind-body is revealed.

 

It is a continually deepening process of refinement and unfoldment within Consciousness, though it is experienced differently in each state. The shift to Unity Consciousness and beyond can happen before refined perception has fully unfolded.

​

Unity Consciousness

or "Oneness" happens when the Self, the subject and unbounded underlying essence of all things, awakens to itself as the objects and phenomena of experience on the surface of life. It is a transition from being the unbounded field in which everything is happening to being everything everywhere in the range of perception and experience.  "Consciousness is everything everywhere, and I am that Consciousness." The unbounded subject has remembered itself as all objects of perception. They are One.

 

The unboundedness of the Self is now recognized throughout the mind, body, and environment. All objects in the surroundings, while remaining the same from the perspective of the senses, are experienced as my Self.  The world is no longer an object in Consciousness.  It is Consciousness itself. It is my Self. It is the oneness of the experiencer, the process of experiencing, and the objects of experience.

​

All of the apparent boundaries in the world are found to be my own Consciousness in appearance.  From this perspective, the world is experienced to be even more real, because it is constructed out of the material of Consciousness itself, out of my own unbounded Self. The environment is now seen as pure unmodified Consciousness in the guise of the objective modifications of the body, world, and universe.  It is not that the world and universe are seen to be an illusion.

 

The illusion is that the world and universe are an objective physical reality. They have always been Consciousness itself, my own Self, pure subjectivity. No longer is there any distinction between inner and outer. The outer is the inner; the inner is the outer. Everything everywhere is my Self.  "I" am all that there is.  
​
Refined Unity Consciousness
or "Unity in God Consciousness" is a further refinement of perception from the perspective of being everything.  Consciousness awakens with further clarity to the underlying mechanics of creation and experience. It awakens to the subtle mechanics of its own innate intelligence responsible for creating the appearance of all life everywhere. It is the same shift in perception mentioned above: experiencing the refined cosmic dimension of the feelings, intellect, mind, body, personality, senses, and all objects of experience. But now it is experienced from an entirely different perspective — one of wholeness, of being all that is. It is experiencing the flow of finer flavors and layers of intelligence within the wholeness of Self.  It is Consciousness awakening to its internal dynamics as the perpetual flow of itself experiencing itself. It is the experience of the ultimate reality of the Self — the totality of Consciousness — and it is all Divine.

Beyond Consciousness
or "Brahman Consciousness" is a perspective prior to Being, prior to Intelligence, and prior to existence itself. It is neither Self nor non-Self, neither existence nor non-existence, neither Being nor non-Being, neither Consciousness nor non-Consciousness. It is the clearest experience of Reality. Words such as universe, multiverse, Absolute, Totality, Self, God, Being, Presence, and Pure Consciousness cannot touch it.

 

It is beyond description. It is pure Nothingness. From this perspective, the body-mind, the world, and the universe are not just an illusion; they have never even come into existence. The ultimate reality of something made from nothing is nothing, not something. The word "nothing" does not do justice to the supreme peace, perfect equanimity, unlimited freedom, and total knowledge that It is. It is truly indescribable. It is self-evident only to itself.  

Refined Brahman Consciousness
is a completely different perspective on the same refinement of perception that is perpetually happening in Consciousness. But because it is prior to Consciousness itself, there is no perceiver, no perceiving, and no perception in the same sense. It is perpetually swelling in all the same divine flavors and qualities of wholeness and love as experienced previously, only with a finer, more exquisite delicacy and fullness, prior to differentiation or distinction. It is the subtle intention within nothingness to know itself. It is Pure Divine Power. From this perspective, the effect — Consciousness itself and its inherent creative intelligence responsible for the appearance of creation — is also uncaused, and as such, so too is all creation. It is beyond all understanding. 

​

Pure Divinity

Another shift to an even deeper perspective occurs in this state. It is beyond all states of Consciousness, yet includes all previous states. Nothingness recognizes that divine power as its own pure Supreme Divinity, cloaked as the appearance of creation. That Supreme Divinity, while remaining uncaused, is the ultimate cause of all causes. It creates and appears as the sense of Being, Consciousness, SELF, all divine creative intelligence, and all creation. Although the mind generally conceptualizes it as a Divine entity, Pure Divinity is not an entity. It is the pure essence of all entities — an unlimited field of pure divine power beyond all concepts and all entities. It is the source and power behind Consciousness itself. No words in any language can describe that Supreme Divinity. Rare are those who have glimpsed that pure, radiant light in its full luminescence — more powerful and brilliant than that of millions of suns. It is pure divine radiance. It is the perpetual surrender. It is all there is — the only thing that is real. 

Refined Divinity
Totally absorbed in its own supreme luminescence, pure Divinity reveals to itself its true, unborn, formless form and sublime, eternal, ethereal composition. The lattice of pure Divinity opens to perception, appearing as if composed of countless crystal-like power centers, each radiating Supreme Divine Light, yet hidden by its own wholeness of peerless radiant Divine Light. Each power center is a wholeness within itself, consisting of countless power centers superimposed within one another ad infinitum. These vibrant pulsations of concentrated, pure light-energy —power centers of sheer Divine Bliss — perpetually radiate one uniform wholeness of sublime spiritual light: an eternal, beginningless, endless ocean of pure Supreme Divinity.

It is this supreme power dynamic of pure Divinity that appears as your body and the world and universe around you right now.
