THE PATH OF
KNOWLEDGE


At every second most humans miss the chance to look in a mirror and ask themselves "who am I". They live their lives lead by other peoples' illusions and false, induced perspectives. They believe to be free, awake, but they are deeply hypnotized. "Trapped in the Matrix"..

The message from the Wise of Old, "know thySelf", is largely ignored, or interpreted as a psychological exercise. Blind sheep, most humans advance to the grave totally ignoring the possibility of rising from this time bomb which is the body. Resurrection from the flesh means to develop a powerful spirit while alive, upgrading consciousness and breaking the limitations of the human program.

To be present and live fully every moment, in lucid awareness absent thoughts, is the (apparently simple) key to reaching a higher level of consciousness. It may begin by a single minded process, just as watching our breath while walking, or fixing our own eyes in a mirror. The latter may demostrate how "magical" a mirror can be: the perfect tool to short-circuit awareness and witness what is beyond the veils of mind.

By silencing the mind and "just watching" we may be able to open ourselves to perceptions beyond the sphere of illusion, where most humanity dwells 24 hours a day. Cosmic awareness is available just beneath that treshold. Cosmic awareness is an infinite field of energy interpenetrating everything. The definition of "free spirit" may be used for an entity whose consciousness has reached immortality and dwells in the cosmic field. Most humans are potentially free spirits, but the veils of illusion and dream of this earthly existence prevents us to make this realization. Therefore one wanders in full or partial ignorance of its true nature. The ego and all deceptive illusions and follies of personality have to be shed in order to liberate and initiate a process of freedom for the Self/Spirit.

Many traditions have veiled these simple concepts for ages. Others, because of misinterpretation, have accepted the veil as the truth, and a few others have realized a partial truth and called it absolute. There is no thing such as reaching a final stage or "absolute truth": we all proceed into Infinity and are only framed by self-limitations. All of which is blocking self has to be removed to obtain spiritual freedom, dependencies of the human elements have to be analized and abandoned.

The Path is One, and it starts Here and Now. Pure Consciousness can extend into Infinity once the illusions and dependencies (which anchors consciousness to earth) are released. Free spirits from behind the veil, may assist those who are determined in accomplishing this feat. The help may be a hard push at times, or it may be in presenting tests to the candidate: one is constantly confronted with the residual of its human entity, and these are the very obstacles. On the other hand, the knowledge which is won through the process of freedom, forms components which become allies in reaching coherence and developing a bridge to the spiritual entity which we are in potential.

Again, the key is: "Void of Mind and Totality of Presence" - and by initiating this state, one connects to the Self and by default to the invisible and ever-present community of guardians of this inner light, which have been called the Watchers or "The Consortium".
