LAW OF THREE (60)
CONSCIOUS INFLUENCES
"When the attention is not free
and independent it is trapped in the world of duality lending its
power to like and dislike, belief or not belief, and so on, It feeds duality
and cannot choose independently. When directed consciously it can
become the gate through which conscious influences can enter
creation."
J,G. Bennett
Freedom depends on our
power of choice. Choice depends on our attention not being caught in the limitations of like-dislike, belief-non-belief, right-wrong, pleasure-pain, good-bad.
When the attention is not subject to
the pairs of opposites it can become a bridge through
which conscious influences can enter creation .
When we give full attention
to a person in need, we become a gateway
through which the afflicted person can connect to the inner
listener; we unable the speaker to become receptive to the healing power of his 'deeper self''.
In the ordinary state of our attention is lost or undirected. St. Mark says: "Having ears do
you not hear?" People may be
speaking to us and although we are aware of their words, we may not aware of their meaning. Suddenly a
sentence may catch our attention, consciousness has entered, and both the speaker and the listener can hear. A new dimension has entered our awareness.
When our attention is free and
independent we can direct consciousness to an issue, and in this voluntary act we
become carriers of the neutral or reconciling force (3rd, force) aligning ourselves with the intelligence that transmits meaning (4th force). In this configuration what may arise is the solution to a deadlock, and lead us forward into a new direction.
