SUMMARY
(of the book)

- The Source-code of Consciousness -

Ideally, either book Presence or Resolution Psychology should be read prior to read The Source-code of Consciousness. It is not essential to do so, but can be supportive as the books provide a wider intellectual appreciation for how the shadow-world operates in your life. The core essentials of both books are unveiled in a different manner in this course, which can potentially be confusing if one of the books has not been read first. Again, it is not essential, as all the elements of the books are revealed, simply in a different order.

The book Resolution Psychology has been extracted out the book Presence to be a companion book for this course, as it explicitly deals with the shadow-world. The Source-code of consciousness delves deeper into that world, developing practical skills to use in daily life, as those skills are used to bypass or sidestep the shadow-world. Those primary skills alter your life in a dramatic and positive manner.

The 'Source-code of Consciousness' is similar to a program on the hard-drive of your computer. The hard-drive accepts and recognizes any programs you wish to install. It does not object or insist on this or that program. The hard-drive and programs are rarely, if ever, witnessed. They can be perceived as being subliminal in operation, as you only witness what they produce. These hidden programs can be continuously manipulated, producing a newer or altered version of what was seen before.

Consciousness is your hard-drive. It recognizes or can see and know both internally (self-awareness) and externally (awareness). Your mind functions of intellect, memory, imagination and intuition are your programs. They are subliminal in operation, and you can alter how those programs function in any manner you choose. The programs (your mind functions) produce and store your created files: constructs, beliefs, internal patterns and imprints that consciousness sees and knows. And this is where all the problems of humankind have their inception, as you mistakenly take what is produced as who you are, creating the shadow-world.

Consciousness is your hard-drive permanence, as it never alters. It cannot be grasped or held on to in any manner. It is colorless, spaceless, genderless and non-aging. It is your mind functions that alter, coloring consciousness in a shade that others can witness and relate to. Consciousness is the canvas, whilst mind is the palette containing an endless array of color. Thought, motivation, intent, feelings and emotions paint the color on the canvas of consciousness. But painting consciousness to fit the color of your thoughts does not alter consciousness. It simply becomes the visible picture you have created. The color of your choice will always be in opposition to the color of another, establishing the potential for endless forms of confrontational conflict. This is the shadow-world. It is a shadow versus shadow battle, fought in the playground of manifestation, creating senseless destruction, pain, suffering and heartrending devastation on multiple levels of existence. It is all shadowboxing, but the shadow packs a deadly punch.

The picture formed upon the canvas of consciousness is what you see and know as yourself. It is the observable and knowable character of your consciousness-personality. The picture is your painting that attracts some and repels others. It is how you are recognized: a self-created portrait that people admire or dismiss. But the picture is only the superficial color upon the reality of the canvas. Even if the picture fads, is disfigured, or totally washed away the canvas still remains. The canvas of consciousness perpetually remains consistent, never altering.

During your daily toils it is rarely thought about or discussed. But the separation between your mind and consciousness is the primary cause for the majority of your existence problems. This separation is not even a well-known fact, as mind and consciousness appear to act as one. And paradoxically they do. But the separation is at the core of existence. It is what keeps the materialist isolated from the spiritualist, potentially robbing evolving humanity from a progressive holistic base that is secure and evolutionary.

Resolution Psychology delineates the internal mechanisms and functioning of consciousness, creating an intellectual appreciation of the controlling shadow-world of your existence. The Source-code of Consciousness course creates practical applications to recognize and experience that intellectual understanding. How you respond to that knowing and observation is referencing. Referencing is your existence from the beginning, as consciousness is absolutely self-referential. Your self-referential nature is seduced by what is outside itself or by what you produce, and you begin referencing what is experienced as who and what you are. This creates the shadow of your reality - the deception. This you take as real, establishing the darkness of the shadow - the deceit - that the shadow in turn references. Referencing is natural and normal, but what you reference creates life or initiates a living death.

Your entire existence is one of referencing, and any problems you may encounter in your life are referencing problems. Learning and survival skills are accumulated from birth to the present moment, creating internal patterns, imprints, and a variety of held beliefs and constructs. This is the way it goes until your last day upon this earthly plane of existence. And there you may discover a huge regret, in the realization that what you once held of prime importance - how you defined your existence - now has little or no relevance. Or, you may feel that you have squandered your time, playing in the sandpit of manifestation.

Beyond all your subliminal patterns, imprints, constructs and beliefs there is a personal experiential knowing that in one fell-swoop can eliminate the lot. This subjective experiential clarity of seeing and knowing is self-referential, as your consciousness is self-referential. Or, your self-referential nature is liberated from the shadow-world to express your essential nature, free of constructs, beliefs, patterns and imprints. And that is liberation, freedom and enlightenment that neither attacks nor defends anything. The shadow that veiled your light is gone, and your light-essence shines of its own accord, as it always has. Consciousness self-illumination is brilliantly exposed, as the veils that dimmed it are gone, revealing its now visible nature as equanimity of compassion, which is the bedrock of activated unconditional love.

This subjective knowing requires no proof beyond the experiential knowing itself. The resulting clarity of vision it creates is your purpose exposed. The only thing veiling that vision is the shadow-world. When removed, clarity of vision arises of its own accord, as your purpose and direction are impersonally embedded within consciousness. It is your choice to make what is impersonally embedded within consciousness personal, or continue living in the transitory environment of the shadow-world. It is a clear yes or no, as there is no in-between.

Sometime in you life you will have a need to know the how and why of existence. It strikes everyone somewhere in their life. Some will ignore it, which can create an entirely new set of issues and problems. Others delve into that investigation with unrelenting fury. This book is designed as a course to support that investigation. It unfolds practical methods to self-discover an experiential reference impersonally embedded within consciousness, unveiling the shadow-world, revealing the innate purpose and direction of your life. This personal revelation creates an experiential framework, as a foundation for daily existence.

The books Presence and Resolution Psychology delineate the internal mechanisms and functioning of consciousness, creating an intellectual appreciation of the controlling shadow-world of your existence. The Source-code of Consciousness course creates practical applications to recognize and experience that intellectual understanding. It develops practical and experiential processes to untie the endless knot, exposing how and what the shadow-world creates to maintain its existence, by keeping you in a prison of your making.

The books create an intellectually developed framework exposing the shadow-world. The course creates practical processes to experience that framework.

Content - Overview

The books are built upon experiential terminology that is developed as you progress through it. The evolving terminology creates an enormous difficulty in attempting to present a content overview, as each section contains is own unique terminology built upon terminology developed in previous sections. Consequently, the following excerpts only skim the surface, providing an overview without becoming lost in the terminology.

For more information have a look on the articles page. There are a variety of essays, providing content snapshots of various sections of the books. They are all terminology friendly. Also, have a look at the 'The map of mind-consciousness interaction', by using the download link on the navigation bar. It will provide a visual representation for part of the content of this course.

If you are having difficulty with the terminology, look in the glossary that has been extracted out of the books. The glossary may provide a clearer understanding of the various terms used in this document.



The Source-code of Consciousness

Objectives of the Course (part of page 24)
Although we may feel that our individual problems are unique, they are not. They are identical to everyone else's issues and problems throughout the world, simply in a different form. The destructive madness ensuing from the borders created by our learning constructs, beliefs and patterns have perpetually plagued advancing civilizations. Those learning borders have border guards, potentially creating an environment for border wars. Humans have become expendable cannon fodder in those wars. It is all a senseless waste of humankind and resources.

The intent of this course is to experientially expose the 'how and why' of existence. The 'how and why' cannot be held on to, it is experientially known. This prevents your learning borders from coming into conflict with border guards, circumventing border wars: note, circumventing, not eliminating. The difference is important, which will become clearer as you move through the course. Attempted elimination is duality encased. Circumventing is duality synthesis. It clarifies later.

This course is not intended to create more ammunition to defend your learning borders or to attack others. It is intended to unveil the essence of your being. From that position, you can make an experientially informed decision on the direction of your short physical existence. Your life becomes immersed within that subjective experience, objectively projecting your evolving reality into manifestation. Your once self-created myopic vision has been freed of its self-containment. Your extended vision contains no borders to inflame the borders of another, which is circumvention and not elimination of borders.

You have been born within absolute freedom. It is your spirit birthright. The learning borders, that you created or accepted on your journey from physical life to physical death, are potentially both supportive and entrapment. Separating one from the other reveals that they are of the same substance. Or, the border is not the real problem. The real problem initiates by how the borders are used and maintained. This course has been designed to expose the self-created borders that imprison your natural freedom, revealing the entity that imprisons you there. When the prison is known, walking out of the open gate is your responsibility.
The prison is your shadow-world. It creates a prison warden - the deception or false 'I am' - that controls the prisoner, your true self or your true 'I am'. The prison guards - the deceit - guard the walls of the prison, preventing the prisoner from escaping, which justifies and maintains the deception. It is a self-contained re-cycling system. Getting out of prison is walking through the gateless-gate with empty hands.

Individual consciousness (part of page 49)
Individual consciousness is a reflection of Absolute Consciousness. Reflection means a copy. Like seeing a reflection in a mirror, the reflection is not the original, only a copy of the original. The original creates the reflection by what it is, producing a copy that looks like the original. The copy is impersonal, as it is a reflection, but the reflection is in the likeness of original. It is the gift of life, but that life must make personal what is impersonally embedded within itself. If that life does not evolve its construction - make personal its impersonal construction - it becomes a maladapted life, creating its own consequences.

The original is infinitely eternal so the reflection is indestructible. However, the indestructible copy to equally become eternal is required to reflect or make personal its impersonal construction. This is achieved by bringing its impersonally embedded nature to life, which is making personal the impersonally embedded nature of The Good, within your consciousness. The reflection then comes to life, or you have eternalized consciousness by personalizing the impersonally embedded nature of Absolute Consciousness. It is a choice, as no one anywhere coerces you. There is support for your choice, but no coercion.

The reflection is impersonal, and to make the impersonal personal a special addition has been added to turn likeness into sameness, free will. It is the spirit pattern of free will that allows you to make choices beyond an animal survival reaction, opening the doors for internal perception of your own consciousness construction. It is within this internal perception where free will brings to life its construction, thereby creating the potential for eternalizing individual consciousness. Or, ignores that internal perception by allowing the shadow of your reality to capture and control that life. The shadow then appears to have free will, and uses that free will for its own survival. An imposter has hijacked the essence of your existence, and controls that existence with ruthlessness. All pain, sorrow and misery initiates with the arising of that imposter, and potentially sets a course for eternal eradication. It is a choice, as you have been given the gift of free will. If the gift is not used to evolve what you are, it is taken as not wanted. Your indestructible consciousness simply returns to its source, empty of any spirit-value to maintain its existence as an entity.

Your inner-eye (part of page 96)
Any internal visualization is referred to as using your inner-eye, but what exactly is the inner-eye, where is it located and how does it work? Knowing how it works exposes the major elements of consciousness. Your inner screen where you observe your visualizations and dream world or your inner-eye is the substance of your observer. How a picture appears is that action of the resolution energy. That is the simple answer, but understanding that answer is complex.

Your inner-eye is formed upon the substance of your observer. It is your internal mirror or screen where your observer can witness what the knower requests or projects. The use of the term mirror is framework terminology, used to express the inexpressible. The mirror has been formed from the concentration of the apparent darkness of the infinite void. That darkness has been 'pulled together or concentrated' forming a backing to the clear glass of infinity, creating a mirror for the knower to see itself. This is the formation of consciousness out of infinite primordial awareness. Primordial awareness exists in apparent darkness, as light cannot see itself unless reflected. The substance of primordial awareness is the mirror, the backing to the mirror and the observer of what is reflected. What is reflected is the knower seeing itself, its own substance, or what is displayed upon that substance. What the knower requests is extracted out of observer-substance and displayed upon it. This is self-awareness being used to witness its own substance.

Your observer-substance is the impersonal aspect of consciousness, as the personal aspect (the knower) has been extracted, leaving the remainder as impersonal. The observer contains the totality of all there is, minus the personal knower. This is the separation of primordial awareness into an observer and knower as consciousness. Without that separation nothing could ever be known, as primordial awareness is infinite and cannot move. To be able to move, and see that movement, it must be separate from its own infinity, and then it has borders to move within itself. This movement is not consciousness movement, as only your mind functions move, but the creation of borders allowing that movement to occur.

How consciousness is formed out of primordial awareness reveals what it is and how it functions, exposing what it contains. However, that formation can only be appreciated by using framework terminology, which is terminology that defines by representation and experientially understood with the intuition.

Duality Integration (part of page 134)
The duality of restriction and non-restriction is the grand duality of evolution. Everything falls within one or the other, from one thought to the united force of a nation. Restriction creates borders that require defending or are used to attack. Non-restriction creates flexibility of borders that can extend to accommodate the restrictive borders of another. Restrictive borders are generally used as learning. How that learning is held, applied and presented - with restriction or non-restriction - creates the movement of life or its stagnation.

Your mind functions of intellect and memory are restrictive functions, whilst imagination and intuition are non-restrictive mind functions. When restrictive mind functions build or create and your non-restrictive mind functions express or demonstrate, you have attained equanimity of expression, balance or duality integration.

Duality integration feels whole, connected and centered. You neither attack nor defend anything, as the duality is neutralized or eliminated, creating a feeling of equanimity of compassion. Duality integration is another process to eliminate the deception-shadow from your existence, resulting in clarity of vision and freedom or liberation from the debilitating conflict that that duality can create.
Duality integration has also been referred to as the middle way, but the middle way if adopted and not knowingly realized is just another duality. Duality integration or the middle way arises of its own accord: it cannot be learnt. It is boundary free, as an expression of the essence of the knowing. Being boundary free it is also conflict and violence free, creating the potential for a civilization that is equally conflict and violence free. The ultimate peace, security and continued evolution of humanity are a reflection of each individual's experiential duality integration, free of the deception-shadow.
Duality sets the stage to attract and create hooks, inducing or coercing by the bait of incitement or seduction into one or other of the duality ends.

The triple belief pattern (part of page 141)
The belief-pattern (the deception) accepts, adopts or creates its own beliefs or constructs, deceitfully maintaining that deception. They all appear to intermingle as one, but are in fact three separate beliefs. The original belief is the belief in the 'I am this or that'. This is the knower believing in its own production, creating a knower-I deception/deceit. That original belief contains all three beliefs: the belief that a separate 'I' from the knower of consciousness created the
production, the belief or trust in the production, establishing ownership of that production, which is the third belief, or the deceit. The belief in the ownership then maintains the original belief-pattern. It is endless entrapment, and will remain that way until the day you leave this earth plane of existence, unless you invest effort to release yourself from that self-imposed imprisonment.

By removing the belief-deceit, the belief object can remain, but now it will not cause problems anywhere within civilization, as the deceit is what maintained the borders of a belief. Remove the deceit and the energy expended maintaining the border's of a belief collapse, collapsing the requirement for defending those borders or using them to attack others. Remove the borders and equanimity of compassion arises of its own accord. The sun (your embedded nature) will then burn away the shadow, eliminating the veils covering your true nature

The split (part of page 187)
Your existence as consciousness is non-biological and indestructible. Understanding how consciousness is formed and functions creates insight into your direction and purpose. Problems only arise when you believe, and are trapped within biological mind function production, as you take that production as what and who you are, ignoring consciousness.

The first step in remedying this misappropriation is gaining an intellectual comprehension of pure consciousness and the functional operation of all your mind functions, along with actively engaging in the awareness meditation exercise. This allows you to witness, in real time, the consequences of mind function control. This witnessing supports your meditation practice, and that combination ultimately reveals consciousness as never altering, whilst the mind functions rise and fall upon demand and are in continually states of production alteration. When the separation between mind and consciousness is seen as experientially true, you may still be equally split between what pure consciousness, and what the mind functions produce.

Seeing the separation and doing something about it are two different worlds. Before experiencing the separation there is a unity of consciousness and mind function use and its production. What your mind functions produced is what you referenced and where. It was one solid unit. After seeing the separation you feel split into two factions: pure consciousness as observer-knower and mind function production. You may have a difficult time appreciating the separation, but you know it exists, and are split as which one to take as who and what you are.
You may tend to lean toward pure consciousness, but every time one of your subliminal patterns is hooked, you unknowingly are dragged into the deceit of that pattern. The result is that you may or may not recall where 'to stand', as you have two opposing factions operating within the core of your existence.

One stand is referencing pure consciousness, where you can observe all the movements of your mind functions, allowing the knower to guide or direct their production within intellectual equanimity. Not control, just guide or direct, as control is a deception game. Here is where a good portion of all difficulties arise, control. Giving up control goes against the grain of the majority of your internal patterns and constructs. However, control initiates the shadow-world, as the shadow demands control, which is in reality, the deceit controlling the deceptive control.

Giving up control does not mean fatalistically just wandering about your environment allowing the universe to guide your every step. Giving up control is trusting your internal consciousness direction, and you direct your mind production, but not control it. You may feel this is once again hair-splitting, but feeling the operational difference between control and direction allows you to experience true freedom from mind production entrapment, which is enlightening. It simply feels good, which is an actual feeling response or making personal your impersonal consciousness construction, as its nature is formed from The Good of Absolute Consciousness. Therefore, it simply feels good. It may take time to experience the difference, but when you do, you will know, and not just think you know.

The second stand is when you attempt to control the situation by referencing mind function production, allowing your old subliminal patterns, beliefs and constructs into the equation. This is very trying space to live within, and it can take years to resolve the internal conflict it creates, as you feel there is real 'I am' and a false 'I am'. It is a struggle, as all your control is in fact the deceit controlling you. Intellectually seeing and knowing the separation of consciousness and mind and personally experiencing the separation are two separate worlds. Intellectual appreciation will always result in referencing with both the real and false 'I am'. Whilst experiencing it results in absolute alignment with your true 'I am' and what it is aligned with.

Defining your existence (part of page 215)
From the very beginning of life on this planet, you move through various stages of growth. However, rarely does that growth process come under evaluation. It just seems to occur, as you grow older, adapting to meet or withstand varying environmental and personal circumstances. The problems and demands of living occupy a good percentage of your time, leaving little to no space to evaluate your existence. Eventually, sometime in your life that evaluation will become necessary, as all those things that you tirelessly worked for or towards become an endlessly cycle of more of the same. The recycling ultimately establishes a sense of endless dissatisfaction that feels bottomless. When that moment strikes, the first of the 4D's enters your life creating distress, followed by despair and despondency, potentially leading into depression. You may not be aware of why those states are attacking you, or you may have an idea why, but cannot envisage any way out or around them. It is at that moment where you are facing the greatest dilemma or question of your existence, how do you define your existence, and why?

Some respond to this sense of bottomless dissatisfaction with medication. Others begin their search for answers through various religions, spiritual teachings, books pertaining to their affliction and individuals that provide any form of insight into their ongoing suffering. There are highs and lows of learning, but the sense of dissatisfaction perpetually returns, sometimes with greater strength. You experience a vacuum existing within the core of your being, and anything you do to fill that space ultimately empties, leaving the vacuum as demanding as ever. It can be a trying, frustrating, devastating and seemingly endless moment of your existence.

At the very core of the problem is a need for a definition for your existence, providing direction, surety of purpose and a personal connection that upholds the lot. The problem is that that definition cannot be given or learnt. It must be experienced. The experience requires an intellectual or spirit logic foundation, pointing in the direction of that experience, providing you with an experiential opportunity. The intellectual foundation requires one element to proceed, or it simply will not work. That one element is trust. Your initial trust must rely upon seeing your chosen intellectual framework as logical, allowing the mind to accept the direction you have chosen without endless struggles. This course provides one of those frameworks. There are many more, and the choice of framework, to be effective, must resonate with how you feel. If it feels right to you, use it. If not, ignore it and try another. At the end of day, try you must. If you do not the bottomless dissatisfaction can take you on the slippery-slide combined with the 4 D's to create a living hell for you. When that hell is upon you, medication will limit the hell, but not totally remove it. The dissatisfaction energy, initiating the entire process, is actually That Sense of Presence pointing at your choices in life, revealing what those choices create. It is loving support, but experienced as painful suffering.

Whatever process you resonate with, you must ultimately define your existence, beginning with intellectual conclusions, and ending with experiential confirmation. If the process you have chosen relies upon rituals, dogma and doctrine to provide the intellectual conclusion, but provides no avenue, beyond hope, to experience those conclusions, the dissatisfaction will eventually come back to haunt you. You have just changed into a new set of clothes, and those clothes eventually wear out or thin. This in no way is intended to devalue or undermine any ritual, dogma or doctrine. It is just pointing out that there must be experiential evaluation, going hand in hand with all those conclusions to make them truly effective.
Rituals provide an opportunity to express your innermost feelings, and establish a sense of communion with whatever you envisage as your creator source. They can create moments where it feels so intimately personal, that you feel a direct contact with the creator essence of existence. Rituals have immense value, but they can also become stagnating traps. Repetition of rituals, without a personal connective intimacy, can become superficial rites with little to no value. Non-intimate ritual repetition can establish the very opposite of what it was designed to create.

Rituals are intended to support a connective sense to your creator, establishing a trust in the connection. However, repetition of rituals, without establishing that sense of connection, can establish a sense of fear. It may be subtle, but it is there. If the ritual becomes more important than establishing a connective resonance to your creator, fear will be discovered hiding somewhere within the ritualistic act. This equally applies to ritual forms of prayer. The moment any sense of fear enters a ritual, trust can never be discovered, and the value of the ritual has been devalued to deception/deceit control.

No matter what process you use, defining your existence is the unseen priority of your journey. The focus of the journey is normally dominated by seeking a direction in life, and that direction may never have been thoroughly thought out. Have you ever actually spent time developing a direction? What is your motivation for that direction? What have you done to fulfill that motivation and direction? How do you define your existence and why? It may come as a surprise that your direction may never have been clearly defined. Living can be a series of knee-jerk reactions to existence, and your survival and security beyond work related objectives, has no real long-term objective. It is easy to appreciate that without clear work-related objectives, making a living can be insecure and fragile. It is equally true with internal objectives. Internal fragility is simply not having a long-term vision, resonating with your consciousness construction.
At the end of the day, you will discover that all the intellectual knowledge the world has to provide, will not dislodge the dissatisfaction you may feel. However, one simple act of kindness instantly creates a sense of wellbeing. It is a pointer.


The Gateless-gate (part of page 241)
The gateless-gate is terminology from Zen Buddhist literature. It is precise terminology describing seeing with the knower-I deception-shadow and seeing after it has been sidestepped. When you are standing on this side of the gateless-gate, you are witnessing existence and manifestation from a knowledgeable or intellectual perspective. Your intellectual understanding or conclusions can be absolutely correct and accurate, but is missing experiential confirmation. Intellectual knowing can take you up to the threshold of the gateless-gate and there you will remain, as no one anywhere can pull, push or drag you thorough it. Getting to the gateless-gate takes effort, getting through it is effortless.

The only way to get through the gateless-gate is with absolutely empty hands, as anything held prevents your passage. This is referencing turning into alignment. When on the other side of the gateless-gate, the gate no longer exists, and has never existed, making it gateless. When you are on this side, the gate exists and is very real. The difference in seeing is with or without the knower-I

deception/deceit: the difference of holding the shadow as real or experiencing it as an unreal transient illusion. On the other side of the gate, you see as pure observer-knower without the independent 'I' attached, empty-handed. As simple as this appears to be, you cannot be taught or learn how to rid yourself of that independent 'I', as the teaching or the learning becomes the barrier. You must experience the difference by first learning how to be as pure observer-knower, which various meditation practices can easily achieve.

It is simple awareness training. With the experiential knowledge of what that awareness is - pure observer-knower - you are in a position to see the independent-I arise and fall or you will experience the purity of observer-knower by some exterior or interior sound or movement. The vision difference is between the consistent permanence of pure observer-knower and the transient coming and going of the independent-I. It is seen in one brilliant moment of absolute stunning clarity. You are then on the other side of the gateless-gate, and know it; the experience confirms itself by the seeing. You can reread all those confusing paradoxical stories that once were so baffling and see the immense wisdom they contain: they are all straight, simple and factual. You can see the absolute compassion of their construction and the wisdom of not explaining them.

It does not end there, as it can take years to appreciate and come to terms with that clarity. Eventually that clarity resolves itself. You are then faced with an even greater challenge: what do you do with what you know? From this point onwards, there are many divergent choices. Whatever choice is made, how you live and express, is within or from a developed experiential existence framework. Without a framework, it is like someone giving you the tools to build a house, and then you just sit there and wait for it to build itself or the universe to build it for you, and many make that choice. The tools are a gift containing their use in potential, not demanding their use, just in potential. The use is your choice.
An experiential framework is just that, it is experiential, containing the purity of your observer-knower of consciousness: where it comes from, where it is moving towards, and how and why you are it, with the 'how' containing the 'why'. That is the framework and it is personally experiential. The entire process begins with an intellectual appreciation of the shadow-world of your existence. The unveiling power, when experientially discovered, always points in the correct direction. You simply have to follow the pointing. If you take the pointing as what it is, you have missed the point of the experience. The pointing is impersonal potential; the use makes it personal. When made personal, the impersonal potential is equally seen and known as personal, and that is the point. That is the discovery of a personal Presence beyond your own, existing within your own consciousness. It is personal, confirming and its home.


Experiencing the end as a beginning (part of page 266)
Sometime within your existence, you will require some form of confirmation that your life is not just a transient experience, with nothingness to follow. Whatever process you adopt to realize that experience will always be experiencing the reality of consciousness, as what your existence is. When realized, you will witness how you fragmented your life, without being aware of the damage that fragmentation created. The fragmentation will be absorbed and neutralized by that experience, creating a singly directed life, and the difference will always astound you.
Living upon this tiny planet is but a passing moment within your existence. The truth of that statement can be intellectually appreciated, but experiencing that reality opens the door to a wider vision of existence that you may once have believed impossible. It is possible, and that experience is waiting for every individual who has the courage, determination and tenacity to reach for it. It does take courage, determination and tenacity, as the world is ruled by deceit, binding you within itself. That deceit will not just roll over and disappear without effort. The effort is learning to witness the deceit in action. When that event occurs, it strengths your determination and tenacity to remove that false ruler from your life, which is the beginning of the end for deceit control.
The end of that journey will reveal the purity of consciousness, which is also your beginning. The circle is complete and you live within the essence of that circle, as an indestructible consciousness that has eternalized its own existence. It is a journey, and is one that you actively participate within or not. You have free will to do either. That free will choice will not be imposed upon or coerced, in any manner, to choice life over ongoing destructive entrapment. It perpetually remains your choice.
