Dialogues - Conversations With My Higher Self
Coming Into Awareness
Session 57
How does consciousness become self–aware? In other words,
how does the circle become closed and therefore, eternal?
(laughs) OK, we will say this as well as you can understand it at
this time. Consciousness becomes self–aware by the impulse
you may call the Prime Directive.
What is the Prime Directive?
Prime Directive is the impulse: know yourself. This is the prime
motivation for all who become self–aware.
You’re beating around the bush again.
The Prime Directive is an impulse. Not a thought, an underlying
impulse or motivation.
OK, this is going nowhere fast. Who is thinking the Prime Directive?
You are not listening! Prime Directive is not a thought!
What the heck IS it then?
It isn’t
OK, back to our earlier conversation about the NOT.
Yes, we have been over this. The NOT is the Creative Potential,
capable of knowing itself.
I don’t understand.
And neither do we. We can only say that self–awareness is
an impetus, or an impulse, that comes from deep within. We do not
know how or why. It is what you would call a mystery. But it is
not something we lose any sleep over, as you say.
So the question is unanswerable then.
Yes.
It seems strange that an eternal being would have no clue as
to its own origin.
We do not originate. We have always been. Once self– awareness
has been attained, there is eternal–ness. Clearly, one cannot
conceive of a time before one was aware. Even you can see that this
is an intellectual impossibility.
OK. So coming into awareness is unexplainable.
It is glorious! But the exact moment of self–awareness cannot
be pinpointed. However, we consider (and feel) ourselves to be unlimited.
This brings up an interesting point!
The important quality of unlimitedness is the ability to limit itself!
Do you see? Only that which is unlimited may limit itself. If it
could not limit itself, it would be limited in nature! Without limits
there is no existence and without existence there is no experience.
Experience is the only reason for the creation of a universe.7
So now we have something that is unlimited, yet, by that very unlimitedness,
is limited; it is both limited and not limited. This is the paradox
of defining something that is eternal and infinite in nature. It
is reflexive, circular, it folds back in upon itself. The answer
to the question is the question itself.
Or perhaps we should say, the answer to the question is the questioner.
Both question and answer come forth from the consciousness/awareness
of the questioner. The answer can be anything, for the questioner
has the ability to be both unlimited and limited, and the number
of ways in which the questioner can limit itself, in the answer
to the question, is unlimited!!!
Are you getting this a little bit?
Yes, this is cool. So my questions about the origin of consciousness
is like saying, ‘How does the questioner limit itself in the
answering of the question?’
That is good! There are as many replies to the question as there
are ideas in the consciousness of the questioner. ALL OF THE ANSWERS
ARE CORRECT!!
That is what trips humans up. Humans want to have systems of thought
in which there are defined limits upon the correct answers, and
then to say that any thought outside these boundaries is incorrect.
And, within the limitations of that system of thought, this is correct!!
On your planet there are many religions and philosophies that embrace
this concept of ‘limited correctness.’ But of course,
the limiting of thought is valuable because it brings comfort and
stability in all of the diversity and contrast.
But beyond the limitations of a particular religion, philosophy
or political belief, any answers that are considered wrong by any
system of thought are also correct, because there may be a being
who does not wish to limit himself in quite this way.
Therefore, there is no right or wrong! This is something that will
disgust moralists and those concerned with ethics, but in an infinite
universe of eternal beings, all thought and action is celebrated,
for there can be no harm inflicted; only another way of experiencing
and of knowing self.
In other words, all questions, answers and experience are correct,
because they all proceed or are part of the eternal intelligence
which brings it forth.
Holy moly, I’m getting it. That was awesome, gang. You
nutted it that time, really nailed it.
(beaming) Yes we did, did we not? We are quite proud of ourselves.
And of course, of you too, who allowed in such a way as to be able
for us to express in such a way that we have taken thought where
it has never been before.
