All experience via the mind
(internal) or body (external) is conditional and
momentary. Experience points to an a
subject of the experience and is therefore self-defining
. There is no form of experience that does not
demonstrate these qualities.
All experience, high or low,
creates and reinforces the illusory, independent,
separative, self-defending, and fearful
sense of ‘I’ or ‘me’, unless the
affair of experience is transcended.
Humans are
a composite of three primary dimensions of functional
experience.
1. The lower functional
range of the body-mind, an
expression of elemental forces
in the hierarchical strata of his lower
body-mind. A process involving
the various states of “matter” (expressed as earthy mass, or
solid elements, water or liquid elements, fiery or
heat-producing chemical elements, and airy or gaseous
elements) in playful combination with an etheric or
pervasive energy field. The “lower coil” of the human
body-mind is, therefore, a composite elemental or vital
entity, and his “mind” or “psyche” is of an unconscious or
subconscious nature.
2. The higher functional
range of the body-mind, the human individual is an
expression of superterrestrial, cosmic , and supercosmic
forces. He is, in his higher body-mind, a process of
perception, conception, creative intention (or will), and
subtle illumination. The “upper coil” of the human body-mind
is functionally senior to the “lower coil.” The “upper coil”
commonly acts via the processes of the conscious mind to
control or participate in the common or objective
experiences of ordinary living. And it is this “waking
experience” that provides the conventional model for the
popular understanding of human existence.However, the “upper
coil” of the human body-mind may, when its higher
evolutionary mechanisms are stimulated, enter into planes of
phenomenal experience that are superconscious, or apparently
independent of functional relations with the waking
self.
Because of the capacity of the higher or superconscious
aspect of the human individual to function independent of
apparent association with the lower mental, vital, and
elemental aspects of the body-mind, efforts have been made
since ancient times to exploit this capacity as a means of
escaping from the mortal limitations of lower
psycho-physical experience. Whenever the effort is made to
dissociate the higher or superconscious aspect of Man from
lower mental and gross psychic, vital, and elemental
associations, the process is traditionally called religion
or spirituality, and any direct influence over the lower
mental and gross psychic, vital, and elemental being by the
superconscious being is traditionally called a religious,
spiritual, or even Divine influence. And whenever the effort
is made to dissociate the lower mental, gross psychic, and
vital aspect of Man from the elemental-physical body the
process is traditionally called psychism, spiritualism, or
magic.
Even so, all experience, whether of a superconscious,
conscious, subconscious, or unconscious variety, is
conditional, psycho-physical, and, therefore, also
self-defining.
3. In the third primary
functional dimension of Man that there is the possibility
for Realizing the Transcendental Ecstasy of unqualified
unity with the Divine Reality or Real Condition of the
limited psycho-physical self. That third primary functional
dimension of Man is the root of self-consciousness, at the
origin of attention and conventional association with the
various states of mind and body.
The root of self-consciousness, of attention, and of the
“I” conception is not within the realm of the “upper coil”
of the body-mind, nor is it within the realm of the “lower
coil”. It is in the region of the heart, on the right side,
associated with the “pacemaker” (or sinoatrial node).
When the process of experience,
or “I” conception, is thoroughly understood, the root of
attention in the heart is penetrated. Once this intuitive
penetration occurs, there is tacit or native Liberation from
the conditional, psycho-physical, and self-defining power of
all experience.
The ultimate Destiny of Man is self-transcendence, or the
ecstatic transcendence of experience. Man, or the human
body-mind (high and low), is a limit . He is arising
mysteriously within the Infinite Radiance that is God. Man,
or a human lifetime, is to be experienced, understood, and
ultimately transcended. Any exploitation of the experiential
capacity of Man in himself is necessarily deluding,
self-binding, and productive of fear, sorrow, anger, and
bewilderment.
Therefore, we are obliged to self-mastery and
self-transcendence, and even the higher evolutionary
mechanisms of our human experience must be transcended at
last. The entire nervous system and the total body-mind of
Man must be transcended. All the states of psyche and of
“matter” are nothing more than signals of self-arising and
the futile struggle toward everlastingly unchanging
self-survival and perfect self-fulfillment.
We are not born into a fixed
dilemma or an inherently evil domain. The real motive that
is native to Man is not escape but surrender, love,
intuitive union, or radical unity with the Transcendental or
Native Condition that is at the Root – and which is the
Source, Sustainer, Help, and Perfect Destiny of all worlds
and beings. We need not pursue the strategic escape from
experience, but we are inherently obliged to understand the
total process of experience itself. Such understanding is
expressed in the naturally self-transcending mood of love,
or the intuitive and spontaneous sacrifice of the
self-position.
The Ecstasy that arises naturally from right intuitive
understanding is the only Wisdom of Man. The spontaneous or
non-problematic surrender of the psycho-physical or
experiential self is the only Freedom. Radical and prior
Unity with the Radiant Transcendental Being is the only Way
of Happiness under any and all of the temporary conditions
of experience.
