If we combine
the results of Consciousness I and Consciousness II as well as Awareness I and Awareness II, the
following picture emerges:
- That which exists for us in the circumscribing alternation of perspectives as their common approximation is conscious to us.
- If perspectives slip away from the approximation, we still can be aware of them. They exist as such in constant alternation.
- Everything that exists dynamically (that is in alternation), transitions funnel-like from the most conscious "opening" through a perspective "narrowing" channel into an awareness that we can call subconscious.
- This subconscious ultimately extends to All That Is.
Subconscious
things therefore exist even if we do not consciously "look"; because
subconsciously we always look (again
and again). We are "vanishingly aware" of All That Is. This means we
are "alternatingly" connected to it and can also expand that
awareness. We can also dive into that
awareness with the focus of our consciousness – widening the funnel stem only
at certain places – and return richer
of knowledge, hunches, and sensations.
What are we
conscious of there? What do we
discover when we dive into it? Other worlds, other types of linking, the
essence of other people? Yes, every day – and most at night. We can learn to bring
back more of these impressions. But even without that we are discovering much of
our own essence here.
Let's expand our list of insights by one point and take into account our Freedom of Choice with the second:
- Since consciousness and awareness only defer in the degree of emphasis of the circumscribed central area, both are a single i-structure.
- I-structure chooses its further change – within the constraints imposed on it by "other" i-structures.
We seem to
be surrounded by such constraints. Even what our neighbor chooses, can impair
us, and with the door frame we can't truly talk. But let's remember any
awareness being a hierarchy of probable realities with the most probable here
and now. If we choose a different reality funnel, all probable realities are restructuring
for us. However, these realities still exist as themselves. Their respective
top-positions also exist within awareness, just not here and now for us.
So we do
not have to defeat our neighbor, because in another reality he has long
consented. We must only choose this
reality. (He may do the same with that reality, in which we have consented.) To do this our focuses of consciousness in
other affected areas of life should be in agreement with this choice. That is
we should harmonize in our awareness the hierarchy of our own inner choices. Then
the neighbor goes where we both want him to go. (Even the version in which we both choose mirror-inverted we are aware of without
contradiction, just not here and now as prior-ranking.)
Why then is
the door frame so firm? It is not: Take a sledgehammer and smash it to pieces! But
I think you want the frame. You want
the earth and the sun. You want conditions. Why these very conditions – that would be a question for that
subconscious in which we hope to find more of our essence.
