The ObjectivesThe objectives of the exploration of consciousness are to:
1)Create the significant integration of body, mind, and spirit necessary to discuss the preceding statements at an expanded level of wisdom.
2)Learn the human technology necessary to teach or facilitate the process of continually acquiring greater wisdom.
3)Institutionalize the process of true human evolution such that it keeps pace with the discoveries and creations of Newtonian-Cartesian science and technology to ensure the continued existence and well-being of humankind on this planet.
The Personal Challenge and BreakthroughFrom an intrapersonal standpoint, the exploration of consciousness begins by identifying the major barrier(s) we personally experience in creating holistic integration of body, mind, and spirit.
Holistic integration is the result of creating a permanent channel between one’s bodymind consciousness and spiritual consciousness.
This process of intrapersonal exploration is aided measurably by the consideration of certain tenants relating science, consciousness, and reality and an introspective exercise to discover how to fully integrate the wisdom of spirituality into our day-to-day experiences.
Science, Consciousness, and Reality1)There is no truth in science. There are only experiences of natural or designed phenomena for which we create a self-consistent body of explanations, e.g. theories, laws, premises, or explanations.
"What we observe is not nature itself,
but nature exposed to our
method of questioning."Werner Heisenberg
Inventor of Quantum Mechanics
2)Science is not the study of reality. We can never “know” reality, only experience it; both five senses and spiritual meta-experiences.
3)In as much as science is the study of our ideas, concepts, and thoughts about reality, it is the study of consciousness.*
4)When viewed (or focused) externally, the value of science is to improve healthcare, develop technology, handle basic survival, etc.
5)When viewed (or focused) internally—within the individual and collective psyches of human beings—the value (or opportunity) of science is to constructively evolve as a species.
6)Science becomes a “spiritual pursuit” when the manipulation of external matter or materials becomes the conscious vehicle for “learning as wisdom”—beyond ego-achievement, e.g. the Einstein or Heisenberg quotes.
7)The conscious study of science, designed to transform the presently existing human paradigm, is what I call the “Science of Consciousness”—rather than studies that confirm existing premises of the human condition.
8)The prelude to the study of the “Science of Consciousness” is an expanded sphere of intelligence as wisdom.
9)Wisdom is a natural part of human existence when one opens a permanent channel to one’s spirituality to become an integrated person: The oneness of body, mind, and spirit.
10)The process of becoming integrated involves the conscious validation or invalidation of the blocks (or major block) to the creation of a permanent spiritual channel.
The Spiritual Domain • Infinite • Intuition
• Metaphysical Laws • Creativity
• Multidimensional • Imagination
• Gestalt (whole) • Vision
• Wisdom • Inspiration
• Holistic Seeing
• Quantum Thinking
*Consciousness is a uniform field of potentiality without form, shape, consistency, or properties. It is only limited by the form it expresses through.
The next post will be an "inner exploration exercise" to discover your greatest barrier to spiritual exploration.
