Chapter I - Consciousness

Chapter I - Consciousness
1. Lack of consideration of things in general leads to deepening of slavery and isolation from life. Loss of purpose has led
us to a miserable existence aimed only at the fight for survival. When we get tired of this we start looking for a way out of
the situation. But in order to be able to escape this set of lean on and to count on our own abilities to head towards
changes, towards self consciousness.
2. If we learn to think we will be able to use our mind and by using it we will be able to manage ourselves and our lives.
This is the way to make the right decisions and to act correctly throughout events and life; this is the way to be able to
leave the state of dependence.
3. In order to act we have to use our mind. It’s only with its help, that we can go back to our human essence. The
first step is to create some space between necessity and our reaction, some space in our mind as a place where we can
act, where we can pause and during which pause we will have time to think and formulate our answer.
4. Mind is our main tool. It is through mind that we live, survive, change even when we are not active. When we are not
active our mind is programmed to create events and to react in their environment. We can’t precisely explain how
an event has happened and how we have come to its final result because actually we haven’t taken any part in it.
And some time after that event we wonder how we could have reacted in such a way as if it wasn’t us (which in
fact has happened) and we regret our deeds.
5. Mind has been programmed to act for us - it is in the same way that we can use it. In fact we manage only a
tiny fraction of our deeds which we can call conscious deeds. All the rest are managed by programmes in our mind
- we will call them unconscious deeds.
6. The mind has got five major abilities - sensory, defensive, recovering, orientating and memorising. Thinking
can be used for creating, correcting or destroying reality. We can also claim that by means of thinking we can programme
and re-programme the functioning of our mind which determines our way of life (called karma or genetic code). Thinking
again allows us to de-programme (called dharma or deleting the genetic code). All programmes are available in the
memory. The purpose of programming our mind is to ensure idleness, peace and calm, because this is the way for the
mind which is managed by these programmes to function independently, leaving us idle at the same time.
7. The sensory ability means we can perceive, think over (process the perceived) and come to a conclusion which gives
us grounds to start or not some actions in a particular event.
8. The defensive ability protects us when a dangerous or unnecessary element has penetrated us - we throw it off
us, away from us.
9. The recovering ability allows us to put together elements (both from the organism or life) that have come apart or got
lost in reality.
10. The orientating ability directs us towards the event or the place where we have to be or enables us to get orientated
in it.
11. Thanks to the memorizing ability we can accumulate and save our experience, knowledge of life and all the things
that we need.
12. We can efficiently use our mind only if all its abilities are exploited together and if we do not get too infatuated using it.
13. When we start acting for ourselves we will start employing efforts into exercising several activities. When we reach
certain stability in one of them we will start exercising the next one without stopping exercising the previous.
14. When we begin exercising our attention we should start with looking/watching and after that we should involve
seeing/noticing the details surrounding us.
15. When we start exploiting the visible and invisible things we will gradually free ourselves from our striving for
accumulation and possession.
16. As a result we will stop committing ourselves which will bring us knowledge about the spirit and a state of impartiality.
17. Getting to know our essence starts from its visible aspect, goes to the invisible, then to that aspect that has only been
hinted and finally to the aspect of our essence that is devoid of any characteristics.
18. Eliminating the motives that make us bound do something - starts from external and continues on to internal
motives.
19. In order to achieve simplicity and clearness for the main reason, the system/society seems to be the main possibility.
20. What comes next is the necessity to exercise/practice: self-confidence, our will, remembering important issues, being
conscious, looking for fundamental concepts. We shall start with the first one and involve the rest one by one and at the
same time without stopping exercising all the previous ones.
21. Then it is time to define our own abilities. If we want to expand their limits we will have to set up aims all the time.
These aims should be slightly above our current aims and we should be able to reach them.
22. We will come to the point of finding it necessary to fight for our time.
23. We will be needing time to enter into love.
24. Love is a human feature which reveals itself only when we leave idleness. Having entered it we are impartial to
suffering and free from impressions, striving and results.
25. In it the embryo of knowledge spreads out to infinity.
26. It is through love that we can go beyond the limits of time; it is always of help and it is the forerunner of knowledge
and freedom.
27. When we are heading towards a common goal we can unite in thinking and actions through love.
28. Entering its meaning is only possible through persistency and consideration.
29. We will become more conscious in love and we will increase our power and abilities which we need in order to
eliminate the confining rules and habits within ourselves.
30. Pain which is the result of physical and psychic disorders of the organism; our apathy towards life; our doubts about
our own abilities; our distraction that prevents us from concentrating on what we are doing; our idleness that prevents us
from mobilizing; our partiality that makes us prejudiced; our delusion (our faith/believes) which is a result of the fact that
we don’t take into consideration every single detail of the event and consequently come to wrong or incomplete
conclusions; our inability to adapt to circumstances which makes us fight them and try to change them; our lack of
perseverance which makes us start with new issues without having finished with the old ones - these are all the
fundamental coded rules within ourselves, which distract us in idleness.
31. Unexpected results, despair, nervousness, palpitations and difficulty in breathing will accompany the process of
eliminating them.
32. If we really wish to eliminate them efficiently we have to concentrate on eliminating a single restrictive rule.
33. Pondering on the meaning of friendliness, compassion, joy and indifference and their relation to results both right or
wrong and to successes and failures - this is the way of achieving purity of mind.
34. Accepting and accumulating the main means.
35. Extraordinary perceptions create stable links.
36. Cheerful life devoid of sorrow.
37. Free oneself from any aspirations.
38. Seeing through intuition.
39. When we concentrate on anything we won’t let our mind be distracted.
40. When we aim at pondering we will reach without any obstacles the essence of things.
41. If we gain control over our mind we will acquire the ability of entering the image of the participant, of the rest of the
participants and of the participation itself.
42. When the percepted, its meaning and the resulting knowledge are mixed together it is necessary to ponder on them,
to arrange them, to systemize them and to eliminate the unnecessary.
43. When we begin understanding the meaning of things, accumulation of information and knowledge will be reduced,
which will not cause any doubt within ourselves.
44. This is how we will come to understanding of the meaning and of the most hidden things.
45. The characteristics of the most hidden things and where lack signs starts, which in fact is pure existence.
46. After we establish everything we have to know about the sources that lead us to repetition, we have to eliminate the
consciously.
47. This is how we will reach the state of pure existence.
48. When we reach it we become bearers of the main concepts.
49. The main concepts differ from those that are established by means of achievements, proofs and analyses. They are
in the foundation of every single thing, everything has developed out of them and everything is based on them.
50. The impressions form realizing that fact, delete all other impressions.
51. Suppressing these impressions by means of suppressing the rest of all impressions leads to realization devoid of causes.
