nnot afford for your
awareness to be obscured by the ego's agendas or by the
unconscious and habitual beliefs and expectations of your culture.
For those of us who have awakened to the mysterious impulse to
evolve, and who understand that the destiny of the interior of the
cosmos is dependent upon our conscious evolution, cultivating inner
transparency becomes a matter of great urgency. If you are deeply
committed to this evolutionary endeavour, you find that you want
to face everything and avoid nothing, because the last thing you
would want is to act out of some unconscious egoic motive in such
a way that would obstruct your own development.
So you begin to cultivate awareness as if your life depended on it,
because when your life is dedicated to the evolution of
consciousness and culture, it does.

"You may call it a moral compass, but that is a mental construction or set of rules whether defined and stated, or undefined but understood. What is really missing is not so much something moral but what Sri Aurobindo and The Mother call the psychic or soul.
The psychic is the inner compass that works not by rules or agreed ideas,
but by a vibrational action as a filter on human action.
Sri Aurobindo stated that a complete sincerity demands that the whole being is unified around the psychic centre. The psychic can lead the transformation of the being more surely even than the awakening to the consciousness of the Oneness in All. It lets one know when a decision or an action is not in unity with the psychic by a profound sense of uneasyness. It is perfectly possible to meet beings who have had that Oneness awakening and made all sorts of spiritual realisations (or mental simulacrams of them) but are not unified around their psychic centre and are capable of action that is very egoistic, often by a glorified and magnified spiritual ego.
No transformation of the kind we aspire to - that would really create a world more
founded upon truth and living in truth - is possible without that psychic change
affecting and then ruling the being."

nt to push the boundaries of our own spiritual development need to discover.
We have to find a way to meet one another in a place we've never been before, in a higher state of consciousness and a higher stage of development that are unhindered by the influence of the narcissistic ego and the less enlightened values of our modern and postmodern culture.
Anyone can experience egoless consciousness in the stillness and solitude of deep meditation. It is easy to be egoless when there's no relationship.
But if we want to catalyze evolution in consciousness and culture, in the world of time and space, we need to make the heroic effort to go beyond ego not only when we are sitting quietly but, most importantly, while we are creatively interacting with one another, in the midst of all the complexity of human life.

Gravitation (also known as Gravity) is a mixed media work by the Dutch artist M. C. Escher
which was completed in June, 1952. It was first printed as a black-and-white lithograph and
then coloured by hand in watercolour.…
adopting, on behalf of the whole of our species, a collective behavioural mind-set focused on -
A SINGULAR MATRIX itself focussed on qualitative evolutionary advancement - having become aware of the underlying purpose of THE MATRIX itself.
- and as Andrew Cohen has recently proposed ..."The overwhelming and profound nature of the spiritual metamorphosis that occurs as one begins to move beyond individual and collective egoic self structures is difficult to convey without knowing about it directly from personal experience. If one had only known the darkness and had never seen the light of the sun, how could it be described in such a way that it would truly be understood? The "light of consciousness" illuminates all things but if we haven't discovered it directly for ourselves, no matter how bright that light may be, we won't be able to see it. And why is that? Because our attention is simply on other things. An enlightened person is illuminated by that same luminous essence that makes it possible for the world to exist."IS IT NOT a multidimensional scientific fact that consciousness drives the universe ?

tive, the views of Andrew Cohen, to and of which I have made several references in cyberspace, in the context of “DON’T KILL THE MESSENGER” because IT IS in “deed” the case that IF you KILL THE MESSENGER you then also KILL THE MESSAGE • and my message from the other nation across the pond of the "two nations divided by one language" as spoken of in friendship by Winston Churchill, IS that the REAL problem with the vast majority of the evolution of consciousness message material, generated by the USA, is accompanied by that Try now for free strap-line, when in REALITY one has to invariably commit to paying upfront for the message, in juxtaposition to the offering of Gautam Buddha's message to Mahakashyapa, in the form of a lotus flower • because as OSHO once said ... "THE KEY to all teachings, not only for a Buddha but for ALL MASTERS • Jesus, Mahavira, Lao Tzu • cannot be given through verbal communication. THE KEY cannot be delivered through the mind; nothing can be said about it. The more you say the more difficult it [BE]comes to deliver, because you and the buddha live in different dimensions • NOT ONLY different but diametrically opposite • that whatever a buddha says WILL [BE] MISUNDERSTOOD".
