Consciousness as Reference Point – (1394)

Introduction

Having our mind as a reference point is very different to having our consciousness as a reference point. One obvious difference is that our mind will always come up with an answer, correct or incorrect, whether it be totally unreal, or an assumption, or a theory, or a supposition, a fantasy or close to reality but an answer.

Our consciousness most of the time remains quiet when consulted leaving us with no apparent answer.

Consult the Consciousness and Make it a Reference Point

When we consult our consciousness the answer we get is always a certain answer. In the sense that is a definite knowing. If silence is the result when we consult our consciousness we have the answer, the answer is that for sure we don’t know the answer and we have to search. On the other hand we may consult our consciousness and we find that the answer is something that we actually do know or in the moment the answer comes to us. This is different to the mind where we never really know if the answer we get is real or unreal or true or false.

Most of the time though the answer we get from our own consciousness is silence meaning that we don't really know.

The tone of our own consciousness exists. Our consciousness vibrates, we have to tune in and tune ourselves accordingly.

This answer does not seem very helpful but it actually it is very helpful. Our mind thinks it knows what others are seeing and feeling but consulting our consciousness we realise the truth that we don't really know.

It is good to go inside of ourselves and consult directly our consciousness and see for real when we know and don't know! This is to have our own consciousness as a reference point.

Conclusion

When we use our own consciousness as a reference point we can "be our own judge". When we use our own consciousness as a reference point we care how we take impressions and we care about how we react. We care in two directions. When we have the reference point in others or in a wrong place, we only care about what we receive.

With our reference point in the wrong place we are always stuck on one side of things. This is quite lonely and we don’t allow ourselves the chance to receive revelation which happens when we consult our consciousness. We should consult our own consciousness all the time even if the answer is mostly "I don't know".
