Toward the Complete Human Being…
What is Enlightenment and How Can I Get It?
Part 3 of 3
|
|
|
by Martin Lass |

|
In the last two month’s columns, we explored the idea of enlightenment—what people have called it, how they have defined it, what it might entail, and so forth. In particular, in the last column, we explored the physics behind the assertions that our true nature is Light, everything in the Universe is Light, Light is consciousness, and therefore everything is consciousness. If everything is consciousness, then everything is also about perception, i.e. how we see ourselves, our lives, and the world around us.
If we change our perceptions of things, the world changes around us. This is enlightenment, Healing, and wholeness.
We explored the idea that every time we have a perception of anything, we create a visible matter part, i.e. the half of the world we see, and an invisible anti-matter part, i.e. the half of the world we do not see at first. This splitting of perception is the essence of our Wounding, of our descent into Duality, of our Fall into the material world.
We also recapped about how, on the descending journey into the material world, our Light/consciousness splits into three basic Natures—Physical, Emotional, and Mental Natures—and how these Natures then further split into the pieces of us, our lives, and the world around us (as in a mirror): personas.
Effectively, personas are every time we say “I” this or “I” that to anything whatsoever, thinking in the moment that we speak with, and for, all of us, where, in Truth, each persona is but a fragment of a greater whole that we mostly fail to see or experience wholly. Refer back to previous columns for the discussions about Natures and personas (in the archives).
Now we are ready to talk about the ascending journey, i.e. Healing, the evolution of consciousness, our Return to Spirit, Truth, Light, Love, and Oneness.
Healing
Ascending Light
If the Wounding/descending journey of our Light/consciousness is the fragmentation (particle decay) of Light, then the Healing/ascending journey must be the reunification of Light. Physics calls this the full quantum collapse.
What happens is that when particles of visible matter and complementary opposite particles of invisible anti-matter, both charged, come together (collide), they annihilate each other and birth a new particle of more unified Light.
Taking this psychologically, when a visible persona (“I”), i.e. a judgment, opinion, stance, belief, half-truth, is “exposed” to its previously hidden complementary opposite, i.e. the flip-sides of the issue, the two sides of our personality effectively cancel each other out and birth a new particle of higher consciousness, closer to the Light of Spirit. More on this in a moment…
Where in Nature does such a process of reunification of Light happen? Is there a scientific basis for the evolution of Light/consciousness?
As it happens, such processes occur in the centers of stars and black holes. Matter is returned to energy. In the centers of black holes, all matter is destroyed, returned to energy, and, in the process, time and space are dissolved, returning, theoretically, to a singularity, such as we discussed in previous columns. (A singularity is science’s word for what appears, effectively, to be an energetic origin of the material Universe, i.e. complete Unity, unmanifest, pure potential, omnipresent, omnipotent.)
This reunification process—the full quantum collapse—is also happening at sub-atomic levels constantly. It happens every time a particle exchange/collision births “new” photons. The sub-structure of the Universe is a constant hive of activity of particle decay and full quantum collapses—i.e. destruction and creation.
If this is happening all around us, then it must be happening within us, too! At least, there must be the possibility of this happening. As it happens, there is just this possibility.
Bringing the Pieces of Ourselves, Our Lives, and the World Back Together Again
Our personas and Natures are, effectively, charged particles of Light (called fermions). They are fragments of the greater Light/consciousness. Half these particles are visible and are what we call ourselves, how we see ourselves, how others see us, and account for our every sensation, feeling, and thought. The other half of these particles of consciousness are hidden or repressed within us, although we tend to project these outward every time we level a judgment against somebody; this other half is our anti-matter or dark side or Shadow or personal unconscious, according to Jung’s paradigm.
The Healing journey, therefore, is a process of bringing these visible and hidden, expressed and repressed, pieces of ourselves, our lives, and the world around us back together again. Life itself gives us this process. Put simply, our life is about issues; an issue arises, we have to deal with it, we resolve it, and then we move on to the next issue. The resolution process consists of gradually attaining a wider perspective, a larger, more encompassing view of the whole issue. Which actually means discovering the flip-sides of the issue that we were previously unaware of or denying.
The Quantum Collapse and the S.O.L.A.R.® Fusion Process
Life is working in our favor, giving us every opportunity for healing and evolution of consciousness. Whether we see this or take advantage of it or not is quite another thing. We mostly resist true and full Healing, because our personas want to maintain their lop-sided stances, opinions, judgments, blame, half-truths, and illusion; we are generally dragged kicking and screaming into greater awareness!
However, we can implement Healing and evolution of consciousness more consciously and intentionally, thus expediting the journey. The process is known. It is being used by people across the globe already. There are many versions of the process, which span all different spiritual, religious, psychological traditions and disciplines.
Our version is called the S.O.L.A.R.® Fusion Process, which was originally developed by Dr. John Demartini under the name “The Quantum Collapse Process®” or “The Demartini Method®.”
In its most basic form, the process consists of searching for the hidden, repressed flip-sides to our issues and wounds by asking targeted questions. This is done by working with traits, which are effectively forms of our personas. And it is done by working indirectly with traits, i.e. by working through our charges and judgments against traits that we see in other people. Why do we work like this? Because 1) everything we see in other people is us, as in a mirror—everything scrap of it, without exception, and equally to all others and 2) it is easier to see certain traits in others than it is to see them in ourselves initially.
For example, let’s say I have a judgment against you: I think you are mean. I think you are meaner than me. In fact, I don’t think I am mean at all compared to you. This is one of my personas talking. In this moment, I don’t see the other half of the picture; I don’t see that you are also nice; I don’t see that I am also mean. And because of this failure to see the other sides of the picture, I judge you and, in the mirror, unconsciously, I am also judging myself, i.e. judging, denying, disowning the hidden, repressed parts of me.
So, the first steps of the process go something like this:
1) What do you dislike, despise, judge negatively about this person? Answer, in this example: meanness.
2) Who sees meanness in you? List the people who see you as mean—actual examples and events. Where and how are you equally as mean this person you judge? Find specific examples in all areas of your life. Don’t get stuck on the forms of your meanness. For example, where the other person may be mean in relationships, maybe you are mean in financial dealings or in your job. Keep listing actual examples until you can admit that you are as mean as the person you judge, maybe not in the same forms, but certain in essence, as a trait. Don’t accept “I’m not that mean,” or “I can’t think of any more examples.” These are lies of the personas. The Truth of the matter is that everybody has the trait of “meanness” equally, because every trait is a holographic particle of Spirit, a fragment of Love.
3) What are the benefits, blessings, lessons, and gifts to others that you are mean? Find specific examples in all areas of life. Keep listing until your negative charge about meanness begins to dissolve. Don’t accept “I can’t think of any more” as an excuse to stop.
4) What are the benefits, blessings, lessons, and gifts to you that this person is mean to you? Find specific examples in all areas of life. Keep listing until your negative charge about meanness begins to dissolve. Don’t accept “I can’t think of any more” as an excuse to stop.
5) Who sees the opposite in this person, i.e. who sees them as nice? Find specific examples in all areas of life. Keep listing until your illusion that this person is only mean begins to dissolve.
There are more steps to the process, of course, but these are the basics. Imagine listing all the traits of a person—everything you like and dislike about them—and doing the above process on all these traits. What do you think you would discover? How do you think it would affect the way you see this person? How do you think it would affect the way you see yourself?
Without going into details, I can say with complete certainty that the result of doing this entire process to completion is unconditional Love. As Victor Hugo once said, “To love another man is to see the face of God.”
Coming into the Now—into Presence
There are other methods and processes for enlightenment, healing, and wholeness, which work hand in hand with processes such as the S.O.L.A.R.® Fusion process. One of the most valuable of these other methods has been used throughout history and in a multitude of religions and spiritual traditions. Put simply, it is the effort to come into the Now, to be mindful during daily life, to remember to put self into the equation of everything we perceive, to become Present in one’s life, and/or to become simultaneously aware of the Seer, the Seeing, and the Seen.
One of my previous columns deals specifically with this—with Presence.
To recap a little, though, due to the nature of perception, i.e. that we see half the world and do not see the other half of the world, and that we are fragmented into personas and do not experience the whole of ourselves (generally), it could be said that we are, for the most part, asleep in our daily lives. We become identified with whatever our attention rests upon; we effectively become the objects of our attention, losing a sense of self in the process.
For example, how many of us have driven to work in the morning and, upon arrival, not had any conscious recollection of the journey itself? We were lost in thoughts and emotions, daydreams and imaginings, while our body and waking consciousness was put on autopilot and somehow we arrived at work. Well, most of our life is lived like this, i.e. on autopilot. Neurologists confirm this now; they suggest that more than 90% of our perception of ourselves, our lives, and the world around us is a construct of the brain, built up from all our past experiences and our judgments of these experiences.
Of course, in the moment we are challenged with this idea, we “wake up” for a moment and assert that we are fully conscious right now, so this idea cannot be true! But in the next moment, because we cannot maintain this state of wakefulness, we go straight back into identification, sleep, autopilot, daydreaming, etc, without even being aware of it. When the Truth of this predicament becomes glaringly clear, we will be horrified at how we actually live most of our lives “asleep” and even more horrified at how we never noticed this before. This is the first step in awakening—the first real step in conscious and intentional enlightenment, Healing, and wholeness.
So, the practice is to strive to “wake up,” to come into the Now, to become Present, to remain mindful in our daily lives, moment by moment. When we strive in this way, many things become gradually clearer. The first thing that becomes clear is how difficult it is! The second thing that becomes clear is now much we normally “sleep.” The third thing that happens is that we gradually gain a clearer picture of who and what we are, as opposed to the illusions we have had about ourselves, our lives, and the world around us. It becomes a huge reality check.
There are many ways of working with Presence. Some of these ways include specifically focusing on body sensation during our day; or on emotional states; or on particular thoughts, ideas, beliefs, judgments, etc. In other words, working consciously to observe and understand our three basic Natures: Physical, Emotional, and Mental Natures. And the emphasis is on observing rather than understanding, because we need to see clearly before any true understanding can be had. For this reason, the self-observation part of this effort must proceed over a substantial period of time.
Group Activity
It’s important to point out that each of us can only do a certain amount by ourselves. Because we do not yet have the developed Will (as opposed to the small “wills” of the personas who each want a turn holding the reins of our waking consciousness), we very soon fall back into “sleep,” into daydreams, imaginings, and Mental Nature chatter and analysis, thus losing the moment of the Present.
For this reason, it is necessary after a time to work in a group situation where each group member can help the others to “stay awake,” to stay on track, and to come back to relative Presence each time our consciousness wanders off again. Not only this, but it is important to have somebody in the group who is more “awake” than the others—someone who has walked the path before, somebody who will be the teacher and taskmaster.
Not only this, but there must also be a body of True Knowledge with True methods of attaining enlightenment, Healing, and wholeness, upon which the rest of the strivings must rest. Without this, it is a very simple matter for Mental Nature to imagine all kinds of things, invent all kinds of ideas and methods, under the guise of true knowledge, but which, in Truth, are simply more “sleep,” more illusion, more self-delusion, and will ultimately lead one astray.
So, for the real “Work” of enlightenment, Healing, and wholeness to proceed, there must be three “lines” working simultaneously: striving for oneself (individuals), striving for others (groups), and striving to maintain the True Knowledge as given by those who have walked before us, i.e. the lineage of the “Work” of enlightenment, Healing, and wholeness.
The Mechanics of Enlightenment
Physiological
We could write an entire book about the physiology of enlightenment. But in our short space here, let me elaborate the basics.
Our central nervous system is divided into autonomic nervous system (Material Nature) and voluntary nervous system (potentially, Spiritual Nature). In general, our autonomic nervous system rules everything in us and in our lives. The voluntary nervous system is generally “asleep,” as described above.
The autonomic nervous system is then divided into sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The sympathetic nervous system puts the body into “overdrive,” into alertness, into preparation for danger, ready for fight or flight. The parasympathetic nervous system puts the body into “underdrive,” into relaxation, into comfort, safety, security, giving space to recharge the batteries, so to speak.
These two aspects of the autonomic nervous system are in constant flux, depending on the circumstances of our lives and how we perceive and react to these circumstances. This last point is most important. The autonomic nervous system responds to danger and safety, but danger and safety are judgments made by our past experiences, perceptions, and reactions. And these past experiences, perceptions, and reactions are built upon other past experiences, perceptions, and reactions. And these past experiences, perceptions, and reactions are built upon other past experiences, perceptions, and reactions. Are you getting the picture? It’s all about perception and, most importantly, our physiology is a complete and perfect mirror of our perception.
Our physiology perfectly mirrors our every perception, issue, and wound. That is part of its job. And we can’t escape from this, no matter how much we might try to deny or disown our issues and wounds. It all eventually comes out in the body. Cancer, for example, is repressed extreme emotions, such as anger, blame, and resentment. There is not room here to discuss the actually cellular biology that proves this, but I can refer you to the work of biologist, Dr. Bruce Lipton. He has released a DVD called “The New Biology,” which shows exactly how our perceptions affect us right down to the cellular and even atomic levels.
Given the preceding, as we work through our issues and wounds, our judgments and blame, and as we strive to become Present in our daily lives, we would expect to see this mirrored in the body in the form of balanced physiology—balanced sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. There is substantial anecdotal evidence to support this. In fact, there is increasing clinical evidence to support this Mind/Body connection, not the least of which is the aforementioned work of Dr. Bruce Lipton.
Yoga, as an example, works with the aforementioned principles of sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems by using extension and flexion, i.e. stretching and compression of the limbs, muscles, tendons, etc. Equal extension and flexion, like equal in-breath and out-breath, bring the physiology back into balance, and, in the Body/Mind mirror, bring the consciousness back into balance. (Moreover, repeated extension and flexion, particularly applied indirectly to the bones through such activity, act like a piezoelectric generator, bringing new energy/electricity into the body.)
This brings us to breath, which is another physiological way of working toward enlightenment, Healing, and wholeness. In short, in-breath activates the sympathetic nervous system, and out-breath activates the parasympathetic system. When breath is unequal, the physiology becomes unbalanced. When breath is equal, the physiology becomes more balanced. Yoga works directly with this principle.
Moreover, attention to our breathing during daily life provides an “anchor” for mindfulness, for coming into the Now, for becoming Present. Attention to breath brings new energy into the body as well as helping transform/transmute existing energies, such as the lop-sided energies of our emotional and mental charges, judgments, and half-truths.
Energetic
Leading on from the ideas expressed above about breath, the air itself contains not only physical “food,” but also energetic “food,” i.e. prana, which is nothing more or less than charged particles of energy/Light/consciousness, which, when taken in equally on either “side” (each nostril, equal in- and out-breath, and consciously so), helps balance our consciousness.
The breath is centered in the diaphragm, which separates our Material Nature (lower three chakras) and our potential Spiritual Nature (upper four chakras). In-breath facilitates the flow of energy from root to crown, whereas out-breath facilitates the flow of energy from crown to root.
However, our issues and wounds—our fragmented particles of Light that we have called personas and Natures—block this flow, particularly in the solar plexus. By working with breath (and with the S.O.L.A.R.® Fusion process, for example), combined with other more physical methods, such as yoga and/or bodywork, we can “dislodge” these blockages, and, over time, restore the free flowing of energies from root to crown and from crown to root, reconnecting us to the “main grid,” so to speak—i.e. to our higher Nature, to Spirit, to Truth, Light, Love, and Oneness.
The main energetic tool we have is attention. We cannot actually direct anything else. We cannot actually do anything else consciously or intentionally except direct our attention. I know this flies in the face of everything we might have grown up thinking and believing, but realizing this is one of the first steps to enlightenment, Healing, and wholeness. Why would we strive for higher consciousness when we think we have it already? This is our greatest illusion and greatest stumbling block.
In any case, attention is our greatest tool. We can work consciously and intentionally to apply attention to various aspects of ourselves with the intention of seeing ourselves, our lives, and the world around us as these are, as opposing to how we have seen them up until now, which has been a huge illusion. The use of attention is a huge topic—it is “school work,” actually, and the subject of many spiritual/esoteric traditions throughout history.
Incidentally, the diaphragm/lower chakras/higher chakras physiology is holographically mirrored in the face, i.e. in the nose (breath), mouth (lower Natures), and eyes (potential higher Natures).
Psychological
Psychologically, as we have said, each time we say “I” to anything and everything, it is a separate fragment of our consciousness masquerading as the whole of us for the moment it occupies the driver’s seat of our supposedly “waking” consciousness.
Each visible and expressed persona is a “representative” of one or other Nature and of one or other of the sympathetic or parasympathetic nervous systems, among other things. Personas are our charged particles of Light/consciousness, half of them visible and expressed and half of them hidden and repressed.
Psychologically, the enlightenment process consist of brining our hidden, repressed personas (dark side, anti-matter) together with our visible, expressed personas (how we “see” ourselves, our lives, and the world around us in a lop-sided way) in the “crucible” of transformation using attention and intention. This “crucible” has many places, not the least of which is in the solar plexus/diaphragm.
Enlightenment consists of looking for the flip-sides of thoughts, emotions, and sensations that we otherwise regard as the whole of our experience when it is, in Truth, only half our experience, half the real world, half the greater Truth of our existence. The Fusion process described above is an example of looking for the flip-sides of things.
Practical Aims and Methods
Some practical aims and methods for physiological and psychological integration, which are but the lower “octaves” of our greater spiritual integration, have been given above. There are, of course, many other ways of working, some of which are variations of the above, some work hand-in-hand with the above, and some are altogether different again. This illustrates as important point: there is not one “right” way. In fact, any one method can only brings results in the area for which it was designed. But we are not mono-polar Beings—we are multi-faceted Beings, each facet tracing a hologram of the greater Whole of us. Each facet requires a slightly different approach and method. And each method requires the other methods to complement it and complete it.
In other words, we must “strike the bell of consciousness” from as many different angles as possible, repeatedly and in varied orders. We are striving to “wake up” our greater wholeness, to “light up” our greater Being, to activate our Spiritual Nature, which is no less than, and much more than, our three basic Natures and all our personas brought together into greater alignment and unity.
This is why any one “method,” “practice,” “system,” or “religious/spiritual path” is not the be-all and end-all. We need “different strokes for the different ‘folks’ within us”—for the different aspects of ourselves, whether Natures or personas.
Moreover, as stated above, the whole process—series of processes, actually—must be coordinated by 1) a lineage of proven Knowledge and 2) someone who has already walked the path we now wish to walk. Otherwise, we are shooting in the dark, so to speak.
Other methods and aims we can employ for our enlightenment, Healing, and wholeness include:
* Working to conserve and transform our energy, on three octaves of our existence—Physical, Emotional, and Mental. This is a very large topic. In short, though, we “spend” much of our daily allotment of energy on things that are counterproductive to our aim of enlightenment, Healing, and wholeness. Examples of ways in which we “waste” energy include: idle chatter (both internally and externally), daydreaming, useless imagination (projection of the future), replaying the past, charged emotions (both negative and overly positive—elations and infatuations), one-sided thinking (thinking without feeling, for example), identification (becoming the object of our attention, thus losing our sense of self, i.e. going into auto-pilot), worrying about what others are thinking about us or thinking others do not consider us enough, and so forth.
* Read and study comparative religions, spiritual traditions, and past methods for attaining enlightenment, Healing, and wholeness.
* Meditation, particular of the “mindfulness” variety, not so much the New Age types where we “go off” somewhere else without conscious Presence.
* Various Healing modalities such as Reiki, working with aromatherapy oils, massage, transpersonal psychology, and any number of other modalities one might find at any New Age trade fair. But be warned that, with any of these, they can become a “new religion” instead of simply taking them for what they are, i.e. more tools for the greater path of enlightenment, Healing, and wholeness.
* Working directly with increasing Gratitude for yourself, your life, and the world around you. This is a very large topic, too, but an easy one to start working with. Gratitude is the key that takes us from polarized emotion (Woundedness) into Love (Healing). And it is not simply a matter of finding the “nice” things to be Grateful for, but also finding Gratitude for the things in our lives that we are currently judging negatively, because, in Truth, all things are already Serving our higher Wish and Longing for enlightenment. There is a Divine Perfection “out there,” mirrored in our own inner Divine Perfection, which we fail to see in our Wounded, fragmented state, but which reveals itself as we expand our vision to included ever more “sides” to every issue and experience in our lives. As we increasingly see the Perfection of our lives and the world, so we are increasingly inclined to turn and say “thank you,” which is what then takes us into Love, greater Light, greater Truth, and close to Spirit, which, of course, is what enlightenment is all about.
There are, of course, many other way of striving. The most important ingredient, though, as elaborated in a previous column, is Presence, i.e. increasingly coming into the moment, into mindfulness, into greater “awakeness.”
The Birth and Growth of Your Spiritual Nature
As we continue to strive in the direction of enlightenment, Healing, and wholeness, using the tools and methods mentioned, our Material Nature comes increasingly into alignment and oneness. This happens in our energetic Heart, which mirrors the Sun in every way. As the polarized planets and their issues and wounds revolve around the greater consciousness of the Sun, aspiring to its greater Light, consciousness, and Love, so our polarized personas and their issues and wounds revolve around our inner Sun, the Heart, aspiring to its greater Light, consciousness, and Love. The transformation process in the Heart, as in the center of the Sun, is actual fusion, which births more unified Light.
Polarized emotions/thoughts/sensations fuse into unpolarized Love. Gratitude amplifies this, opening the Heart further. Through the “portal” of the Heart lies our greater Spiritual Nature, waiting for us to reconnect, align, and unify. Spiritual Nature is where true enlightenment lies waiting for us, beyond all dualities, contradictions, polarities, charges, judgments, beliefs, opinions, and half-truths.
Spiritual Nature innately knows that there is nothing but Love, nothing but Spirit, nothing but Light, and nothing but the Divine Perfection.
Truth, Light, Love, and Oneness,
