[MD] Consciousness

[gav]

hi andre,
more like bring your shadow into the light: all the repressed stuff: the fear, guilt, shame. whilst it remains shadow (unconscious) it is making you react - you are projecting your own shit onto others, as dave said, and reacting to that shit as an external, rather than integrating it into your own psyche.

i like the saying: what you think about me is none of my business. this captures a little of the spirit i am talking about. 

so by facing your fears, or by being forced to face them by the unfolding myth of our lives, we defuse them, transform them; we understand them now - we can 'stand under' them, and not have them 'stand under' us.

whilst the unconscious remains unconscious it blocks DQ. rather it leads to sq patterns of reaction, wearing ever deeper, more habituated, until we bring them out.

love and fear. hate and love are not antonymous. love and fear are. hate is just twisted love. fear stops DQ. it sets up repetitive cycles in the mind that clog our awareness.

this shit runs very deep. the hope for the world is the hope of love over fear. and we play this out primarily, fundamentally, seminally, in the partnerships we make with each other romantically. if fear creeps in: fear of losing our partner, for example, we are diluting the flow of love, ironically creating self-fulfilling prophecy dynamics - we create what we fear if we keep fearing it.

to love without fear is to remain present, especially in the bedroom. it is to make oneself better so that one can love more wholly; it is to love without attachment, to love without sentiment, to love with abandon and joy and give no thought for the future or past.

if we remain in love, being-in-love ( a higher, truer form of being-in-the-world, dasein?), the love grows and overflows into the whole world. it can't be resisted; you, together with your partner, are continually creating ripples of love that catalyse the evolution of your children, friends, community, whole world.

love is reunification. the reunification of our split world. the male and female principles synergistically combine creating/channelling the dynamic unity - DQ, love - that fuels the evolution of the universe.

love is the recognition of the divine in your partner; this divinity needs to be respected and worshipped, unsentimentally. sentiment is projected emotion; consciousness is about total awareness - presence. being fully present to the moment.

lovemaking is the best meditation to enhance love, naturally. 

but we are not often taught this stuff are we....? how about 'love ed' instead of 'sex ed'?
we have to bring love/sex out of the shadows - that's right! show affection - genuine affection - everywhere, especialy in front of your kids! 'love sex'  is beautiful and divine and without shame; selfish 'pornographic' sex feels shameful because it is objectifying the other. 

anyway nuff from me

Gav to David:

love ya work brudda.
i like the idea of individuation, as opposed to your points about western
'faux' individuality. jung, according to me anyway, seems to be on about
becoming a total individual, and that this is the journey we are all on of
course...
i think he is saying that we need to integrate the unconscious elements of
our consciousness so that we are conscious and accepting of them, and thence
free of them as unconscious reactive elements. when elements remain
unconscious in the psyche they are points at which the giant may attach his
hooks...if you know what i mean.

Andre:
Hi gav, do you mean as Pirsig suggests in Lila: be disciplined in your
responses to dq's, make them your own, make them your dharma (consciously),
make them into rituals so you may forget them (unconscious) and then be free
to seek and respond to Quality whilst living and sharing the Quality force?
Something like this??
