THE LAW OF THREE(90) Depth or the Third Dimension of Wholeness (2)

 

LAW OF THREE (90)

DEPTH OR THE THIRD DIMENSION OF WHOLENESS (2)

 

“There is up and down and right and left, but there is also far and near which is the third dimension of space.  Ther third dimension of space manifests in us as “an experience of depth” We talk of our ordinary looking as being almost two dimensional and refer to the world of thoughts and reactions as flat – with good reason. But when the transition comes and there is depth, we find ourselves in a different state. We feel different. Indeed, the feelings become awakened, and a freshness comes."

Anthony Blake A Seminar on Time

 

 

Most of our life seems to take place in the confines of  a world with very little sense of the spatial reality or depth, where we miss the sense of wholeness.  But with the experience of depth our perception changes. A third dimension has been added to our body experience and our field of our awareness is expanded. In this new configuration our body seems much less solid than before, and its borders less defined

With the sudden awareness of the dimension of depth our experience is comparable to waking into a new dimension of ourselves.  From which perspective the two-dimensional world of thoughts seems like a dream. We are aware of presence.  The curtain of thoughts has lifted.  We have just discovered what it means to leave in a body.

The sudden awakening to the third dimension of space is not a “mystical” experience.  It does not put us in touch with a third world.  This experience, says Raimon Panikkar, puts us in contact with the third dimension of the one and the same manifest world, opening us up to a more real union with reality.

Conscious awareness of the inner dimension of depth may lead us to the stillnes of Presence.

LAW OF THREE (89) Alignment with the Third Force.

 

“The political and religious culture wars of our era could be eased by the simple courtesy of the Law of Three:  (1) the enemy is never the problem but the opportunity; (2) the problem will never be solved through eliminating or silencing the opposition but through creating a new field of possibility large enough to hold the tension of the opposites and launch them in a new direction.”

  Cynthia Bourgeaut.  C.A.C. Daily meditations. March2 2017.

 

 

The capacity to mediate consciously as third force belongs to the power of presence.   Presence can hold the tension of opposites and launch them into a new direction.

Presence can unlock a stagnant or immobilised situation and turn it into an evolving unit by holding apart all contradictions, loving enemies, separating the positive from negative, and waiting for creative direction.  (see blog no.80 )   

Waiting feeds an alert, flexible and reconciling presence.  It strengthens our capacity to stay present, allowing space for the unknown to participate in a conscious unfolding triad.

With the surrender of our negativity the interweaving of three active forces gives rise to a conscious triad in a new dimension, referred to as No.4.

Cynthia further reflects on the troubles of duality. “Don’t be afraid of the darkness, the things that look like they are going in the wrong direction. The soul has to go through this overwhelm.  So often I realise the difficulty was exactly the thing that needed to happen in order for there to be clarity.  Trust that even when it seems our world is moving backward – away from justice and peace – this friction can serve The Law of Three, moving in brand new direction”.
