Notes - Second vs Third
The second state of consciousness is called vigil, because that is the main task: to be vigilant always watching consciousness to be it back to reality and the present moment.
In the second state, our consciousness sleeps, dreaming projecting forwards and backwards in time.
In the second state our attention is constantly hooked.
When our attention is hooked for too long we identify with what our attention is placed on.
Once we are identified we become fascinated and once we are fascinated we begin to dream.
When we dream we are hypnotised by the interests of the new identity we have assumed.
When we are hypnotised we are far from reality.
To be aware and awake is to see reality.
Consciousness sees reality. That is one of its main functions. It is light that sees what is, that is, what there is to see.
In the second state we are not responsible, there are many contradictions and we do nto know oursleves.
In the second state of consciousness we do not know what happiness is nor what love is.
In the second state of consciousness we do not know who we are.
Peope livfe most of theri livfges in the second state and often they do not know who they are, and are always in the process of loosing and finding themselves. Always working out what to do next and not knowing if that is the right thing to do or not. Not even knowing what and why they are thinking.
We are not real in the second state of consciousness because most of the time we are not present and we are not psychologically inwardly responsible and continuous. We stray away from ourselves far too often.
When we are in the third state of consciousness we are real and life is much more real.
In the third state, we know ourselves, we know who we are as consciousness and we clearly know what we are doing here (dissove the "I's").
The personality must be passive to enter the third state of consciousness because it is simply the wrong identity. The third state of consciousness is strictly for ourselves as essence and consciousness nothing else.
The third state of consciousness is for the consciousness.
The fourth state of consciousness is for the Inner Being.
In the third state of consciousness there is choice, we can choose love or happiness.
There is NO choice while in the second state, there is little ability to chose love and happiness when external factors are against us.
In the second state love and happiness are as fleeting as the wind and depend upon external factors. While in the third state, one knows what happiness and love are and can chose them when circumstances are not in our favour.
We sometimes in emergency situations enter the third state of consciousness because the personality is shocked into passivity and is fully displacement.
In the third state our attention is cyrstallised in presence.
Consciousness is light and is nuetral.
To enter the third state much energy is needed which has to be accumulated through conscious choice and the continual power of being consciously present.
To awaken one must divide their attention. As soon as we divide our attention, knowing that we are observing ourselves there is an awakening.
Conditioned consciousness is sleeping consciousness.
