Imagine interacting with another person in
away that your body and mind breaks down into various flashes of light, like
sparkles of energy intertwining and interacting with each other. Each sparkle
being apart of you shooting off in all directions within someone else's energy
field, sounds ridiculous until you personally experience such a thing, also,
energy void of form in any sense is pure energy.
It's difficult for human consciousness to perceive
ourselves as pure energy without deducing that energy has to be of a form of some
kind. Even the perception of being light refers to a form like energy field. Human
consciousness is simply unable to comprehend anything beyond some kind of form,
however, this is normal and should be accepted as being normal for human consciousness.
All impure or unaware consciousnesses have limitations, this is quite natural
and normal and of the whole and not separate to the whole.
Consider this though, can pure energy, void
of impure energy fields, be able to experience interaction with another being
as various flashes of light? If everything was pure energy, this pure energy
would be limited to it's own existence. Considering that consciousness as a whole
is not limited, in actuality it's infinite in nature, it's unlikely that we
would ever be of pure energy, however, this doesn't mean we can't become aware
of our pure energy state. This also means we can experience being various flashes
of light, of separate energy fields.
My recent experience of flashes of interacting
light with another energy field was induced by a very special person, a person
who is able to perceive way beyond my own comprehension and understanding. The enjoyment
to be able to do this with a person like me was special for both of us.
When someone like me makes reference to
impure energy, in other words a consciousness that is limited to certain
aspects and fields, this is not a put down. The problem here is, we are conditioned
to a higher stature or a higher consciousness being better or more worthy than
a lower stature or consciousness. Everything is based on levels, of course the higher
the levels are always more desired than lower levels. This limited perception
is very human, of a consciousness that is obviously limited to certain aspectual
fields.
Consider this, is not a pure aware state not
limited to being purely aware of just pure awareness? Actually no, the reason
for this lays in that a truly aware state is also aware of it's own unaware
states, it's aware of the whole self, not just the parts of the self it desires
to be. As each flash or sparkle of light was separate to each other within my experience
with another person, it was also whole. For human consciousness to be able to comprehend
anything, it has to break it down into separate parts. When you pull a car, an
automobile apart, what we have done is simply pull apart something that was
whole to once again make it whole again. Even if we pull the car apart to never
put it together again, the energy within the car is still whole because it's
still energy. Yes, the car is no longer a car but it's still energy.
Being unaware or of an impure consciousness,
a consciousness that is not aware of the whole self, is apart of being truly
aware, one is not whole without the other. Here we are trying to so desperately
reach our higher self when we are already experiencing our higher self, it's
just that human consciousness is unable to comprehend this therefore understand
this. In saying this, this kind of unawareness, in that a higher stature is
always better and more whole, is very much of human perceptions, not of true higher
perceptions. To be of a high perception is to also be of a low perception, a perception
that is less aware.
What I am trying to say is being unaware is
just as important to the whole as being aware. It's like saying that yin is less
important that yang within a relationship because this is exactly how a lot of
us are perceiving, the aware is far more desired therefore more worthy than
being unaware. Being truly of pure awareness, as Buddhism states it, is no less
important than being of impure awareness, a state of being less aware.
In saying that unawareness is just as worthy
and important to the whole is fine, but when this unawareness becomes destructive
unto itself and everything else, a wise consciousness would, in my mind, consider
a different course of action. However, being less wise is also no less worthy
or important to the whole as being of pure energy. Something else to also consider,
you can't experience a pure state of energy, all you can do is become aware of
it.
There is simply no motion or form in a state
of pure energy, it's the impurity of energy that gives energy motion therefore
form. Impurity of energy simply refers to energy flows that interact with each
other as separate entities or separate forms of energy. Unawareness simply refers to separated energy
flows from our pure energy state. No matter how energy is expressed, it is
never truly separate even when in separation; in actuality only within this separation
is energy truly whole, as one.
