Cultivating Continuity of Consciousness
Sustaining & Metabolizing the Spiritual Sustenance from the 12 Holy Nights CONCENTRATION
Continuing with our work from the Holy Nights, I want to emphasize the importance of what births between the image & the after image...the space in between.
What lives within this stillpoint & why does it matter?
The entire month of January is devoted to understanding this sweet spot, the Nous, which is connected to the work carried out on December 25th, the 1st Holy Night.
On this Night, we contemplated the following:
“I SEE.”
HOW CAN I SEE THE WORLD WITH NEW EYES SUCH THAT THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH ARE UNITED WITHIN ME?
And…we discovered that it is through Loving Surrender of the lower ego (judgement/opinion/etc.) that one can begin to conceive of the ‘eye of the heart.’
Through this inquiry, it is my wish that the reader enter into “I SEE” to a greater degree, perhaps 5° more.
This 5° difference poses this question before our souls:
How does one transfigure “I SEE” into “I CONCEIVE?”
In my subsequent spiritual research, what has come to my consciousness is that direct Meditation upon the space in between the heavens & the earth, the reverse image & the image, the moral & the physical is key to unlocking & lovingly surrendering to this new sight.
One can only know this omniscient space of fertile darkness through the spiritual organ of the heart, specifically through the steadfast commitment to developing the 5th Chamber of the Human Heart.
What is this 5th Chamber?
What does this ask of us?
Conceive this in your mind’s eye:
Let us lay our eyes upon the Rose Cross:
Now Consider the following:
Bees then receive into their innermost being the most noble substance, the most divine essence from the seed center of the plant, the mouth of the plant - the unspoken, unuttered WORD, & then use the emanations from the union of this substance combined with the radiating vibrations from the 5 chambered heart within their being to create hexagonal (6 sided) structures on behalf of the entire hive.
The secret lies in the space in between the pentagon, the five sided sacred geometrical structure & the hexagon, the 6 sided sacred geometrical structure.
What lies between the 5 & the 6?
Let this question ring within you for a moment.
So how does this apply to the human heart?
What does the bee represent & exemplify to the human being?
Sun-Being.
The bees teach us how to become Sun-like.
Let us think with the ‘heart of a bee.’
Let us enter into the bee for but a moment.
The existing materialized understanding of the human heart is such that we see the image of a square. 4 sides. 4 chambers.
How can one conceive a transfiguration of the human heart from quaternary to hexagonal?
When one begins to weave the golden thread, putting into practice the art of SEERSHIP, one must begin to see both the center and the periphery at the same time. Sun Vision. This takes the focus from flat & 2D (a corpse of thought) to 3D (breathing life into the thought).
This is a kind of breathing through the eyes that must be cultivated during the epoch of Consciousness Soul.
Practice this transfiguring gaze by softening your focus, noticing both the center & the periphery:
A Divine 3rd arises from this breathing of the eyes, the union of mind & heart.
In the light of this Divine 3rd, we enter the realm of 3D & begin to merge thinking & feeling.
In other words, we offer the thought to the heart. Heart-thinking becomes possible. Imaginations become possible.
The 3D version of a square forms a cube. A cube contains 6 sides, each side containing 1 congruent square.
Here we find a connection to the hexagonal force & the number 6.
Let’s go a step further to 4D.
To this hexagonal force we shall add our will forces or the essential element of COURAGE.
Within the realm of 4D one begins to merge thinking, feeling & willing.
A kind of ‘fermentation’ begins within the alchemical vessel of one’s devoted concentration & a Divine 4th arises before the innermost eye from the living trinity of the 3 fold thought (thinking, feeling, willing).
One takes a single courageous step forward beyond 6 in the light of this Divine 4th, hence the number 7 becomes perceptible to the soul.
It is here that one beholds the Spirit within the form. 5D.
Here begins the 5° shift.
Where does one go from here? What does one do with the number 7?
Let us begin anew with a focus on the element of courage, the living force of the will in the form of FAITH that allows one to gaze into the sea of the unknown without fear of falling into the abyss of uncertainty.
Weave the golden thread through the beautiful story above about the bees who visited the sap of the red roses that formed from the 7 stages of the Passion of Christ at the Mystery of Golgotha (the crucifixion).
Weave the golden thread through to the following:
What might the number 7 look like in the light of the rose?
Steiner gave us a brilliant imagination to work with:
Consider that perhaps this above imagination arose from Meditation upon the Rose Cross & the reverse image, paying special attention to what lies between the two images.
With the above in mind, let us dive deeper into the mystery of Saturn. The Saturn stage of evolution contains a key vision to the mystery of the 5 chambered heart.
One must pause at the abyss between the known & the unknown, raising themselves up to direct vision.
In this light, consider the following research:
I would like to highlight the following from the above article:
Allow the following to ring in your innermost ear:
Let us consider this as we consciously walk through the month of January:
May we each come to KNOW this within the innermost chamber of our hearts:
Consider this with the eye of your heart:
Why does this transition from the 4 chambered heart into the 5 chambered heart matter & what might it feel like?
Perhaps you are already intuiting the ANSWER…
In the face of great interference, let us stay awake to this task of transitioning the heart from the number 4 to the number 5.
