How does our Consciousness Fall Asleep? – (1590)

Introduction

The following two processes explain how our state of being aware, that is consciousness active, is lost and the sleep of the consciousness is produced.

One explanation comes from Classical Gnosis as Master Samael taught it and the other comes from my marvellous missionary.

WAKE UP! Surface from that identification where things are so strange!!

IFD – Identification, Fascination and Dream

This is how we lose our awareness, via this process of identification, fascination and dreaming.

Identification

We become identified with an ego when we assume the identity that it proposes.

We become identified when we accept the values, interesting sensations and feelings that the ego through its thoughts presents to us.

With identification we become the same as, we assume the identity of the ego that we are identified with. We align ourselves with it, we ‘relate to it’ we agree with it.

At this stage there is some space or opportunity still for our consciousness to realise pending gravity of the situation and shake off the identification.

Fascination

This is a deeper state of identification. This is where the consciousness is sliding rapidly to sleep. It has begun to believe in the ego and has taken on its identity and role.

Here is when the sensations, flavours, emotions of the ego appear in us and they seem so strange, so painful, so unfair, so disturbing, so unusual, etc. In this state we are then intellectually engaged and emotionally engaged with our attention focused on the thoughts and feelings (processes) of the ego already now in our human machine.

There is still the chance to withdraw from this state but it is more difficult and if done, it is only done partially, which can be good enough at times. It is a struggle but it can be done and this is where most people decide to withdraw from, because this is where the uncomfortable feelings of the ego are felt.

Dream

Dream is the deepest state of sleep of eh consciousness, this is also where the consciousness has become hypnotised, that is it completely believes in the identity, role, function and mission of the ego.

There is very little remedy for this situation. Only when the ego leaves the human machine completely or partially does this state end, and we say to ourselves: “What was I thinking, how could I think and feel and even do that?”.

In this state of the deep sleep of our consciousness we do things that we regret and that we in our normal state do not want to do.

WAKE UP! Stop daydreaming!

Attention, Identification, Assimilation and Reality

Attention

This is the beginning where our attention is hooked or drawn into something. There is no way that we can become identified if our attention is not first of all hooked by something.

We actually give our attention to a thought, the interpretation of words, an emotion, something someone is doing or saying, a movie, a person etc. etc.

If we don’t give our attention to things, thoughts, words, feelings, events our attention then we stop the process of the sleep of our consciousness dead in its tracks!

Identification

See above, same explanation.

Assimilation

This is where the values of what we are identified with enter into our system. It is very much like fascination. In this stage we are absorbing the values, assuming them, these values may be pain of some sort, offence, unfairness, aggression, pleasure etc. Then these values begin to create emotions and various psychological flavours within us.

Actual causes begin to develop within us for future actions, even if those actions are a few minutes away in the future.

Reality

This is when we assume totally the ego to be our reality. Then we are really one with it, it is our reality. This is a very hypnotised state because the real reality is different to the ego’s projected or misperceived reality.


Conclusion

It is very good to know this process because when we know this process well we can delay or prevent our consciousness from falling asleep in any occasion of life.

End (1590).
