Consciousness

Our ‘personalities’ are really dirt and dust on the mirror of consciousness. There is One Consciousness - as there is One air and One water - and we participate in that Consciousness. But we get covered with ‘conditioning’, which can be looked at as dust - and get our ‘identity’ within it. It’s a false identity!

Consciousness.

‘I was a secret treasure, and wished to be known’ (Hadith)

In the age we are now living, people again tend to describe ‘Spiritual Progress’, as a growth of Consciousness.

‘EXPANDED CONSCIOUSNESS’
they call it.

Everything is always changing, outside and inside. There is ONE THING in you that doesn’t change. That’s your CONSCIOUSNESS – where you can be established in Real I. Everything else passes on the screen of consciousness. It starts and it goes. And you live in the identification of those PICTURES, and get an as if ’identity’ in it. It’s not your REAL IDENTITY at the very Source – it’s not ’real’.

That which is real in you can SURVIVE THE DEATH OF THE BODY. There is something really worthwhile to DO, on top of this generally comic/tragic trip. At the very least, not to ’slip down’.
