THREE
LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS
BY MESSIAN DREAD |
| As
we trod forward in what is usually called
"Spiritual Growth", there is one
thing that is kind of really important to
know about ourselves. Or maybe I should say:
three things.
|
|
In debates about the Trinity, I usually refer to
the fact that we as humans are little trinities
ourselves. I find the fact that we are created in
His Image kind of relevant here, too.
How can it be, that we have the Father, the Son,
the Spirit, all having a Self-consciousness and
still One Person? Pages, pages, pages of debate...
As usual, we only have to look within to find many
answers. We only have to look to ourselves in
order to see how this "can" be...
Well, simple.
We are Body, Soul, Spirit, and all these three
"aspects" of us have a
self-consciousness.
Our bodies have a self-consciousness. We can find
this out by simply realizing that our brains will
tell our hearts to keep beating, for example. This
is a self-consciousness of our bodies, that
"we" are not always aware of.
"we"? Yes. Usually, when we talk about
"me, we", we talk about that second
aspect of us: our souls. In our souls we feel, we
meditate, et cetera. In our soul, our personality
can be found and every artist as well as music
lover knows that the soul is very, very real.
We are not aware of the self-consciousness of our
bodies. At least, not to the fullness. We would
become crazy if we would have to keep our bodies
alive on a soul-conscious level.
Now, watch this.
This very same principal applies to our spirits,
too.
Let me just speak about the situation as it
applies to ones who are born of Spirit.
Our souls are not always, not fully, aware of what
our spirits are doing. Our spirits, born of JAH,
can not sin, will not stop praying, will work for
JAH, will not have to learn anything.
When we talk about "we", when we talk
about "consciousness", all of the above
is very relevant to take into consideration.
For what do we mean with
"consciousness"?
Which level are we speaking about?
Usually, we will be conscious on the soul level.
Our souls will be conscious of the
self-consciousness of our bodies, too, but only to
a certain degree.
Just try to breath consciously in your soul, use
your soul to make your body breathe, and you will
know what I talk about here: there really is a
self-consciousness of the body that we do not
always have in our souls.
And this goes for our spirits, too!
I believe, that what we call "growth" is
not as much that our spirits grow, but it is more
that our souls become more and more aware of our
spirits.
However, most people will not reach this level.
And the reason for that is, that they are not able
to discern between what is their soul and what is
their spirit.
And I have seen this too many times.
People getting in total confusion because they do
not know that what they think is their spirit in
reality is their soul.
That's why I started explaining to people, how we
have these three levels of consciousness.
There is much more to say about this, I hope that
I could give your soul a little bit food for
thought, I hope that Jah will use this meditation
too...
