"This is Body, welcome back. In Part One of this lesson we discussed the two kinds of awareness, consciousness and sentience. We also touched on the two basic kinds of Light, empowering Light and loving Light. In this part of the class I'd like to describe some ways to find and use these two kinds of conscious awareness in the healing work.

"Spirit has already spoken of parentalness, and we're now ready to bring this home to the healing work with Body. The

 

 

Consciousness in Body

"This is a healing class about Body. And in order to work together in the healing, we need to be able to relate with each other. The first step in relating with Body is to be able perceive me. For instance, right now in the first attention I'm moving my eyes to scan these lines of type as you read. Can you feel Body doing this? How does it feel?

"Thank you for stopping and paying attention to something you may not have noticed in a while... your Body. That is, Body in the first attention... the one of us who is closest to you. In fact, your constant companion and best friend... remember?

"What else do you notice about me? Can you sense the pull of gravity that draws me into your seat or whatever supports you? Is there any discomfort, any place where you feel Body may want to move or change position? If so, thank you for helping me. Thank you for noticing Body and allowing me to adjust myself for more comfort.

"If you have done this, you have used your consciousness to be of service to your sentience. By becoming consciously aware of even a slight sentient discomfort, and giving that part of Body or Will the light of your conscious awareness, you have helped consciousness serve sentience.

"This has not been the general rule, in any Creation. Ever since manifestation began consciousness has insisted that sentience should serve him. I say 'him' because consciousness, light, Spirit... is more expanding and outgoing or 'pushy', the masculine awareness. And of course sentience, emotion, sensation, Will... is more indrawing and magnetic, the feminine awareness.

"The fundamental problem in Creation, and the need for healing has been a result of the power of consciousness over sentience. At first glance it seems natural. Spirit and consciousness seem to be stronger, wiser and quicker. Why shouldn't they be in charge?

"The answer lies in nature of Will, and in the uneven distribution of Light in relationship to Will in manifestation. There is so very much magnetic essence in need of cooperative, helpful Light. So much Will essence has been 'lost' to the Light that now something very different must happen... if life is to go on.

"But consciousness has believed he knows what's best, while sentience knows she knows. And it hurts when her knowing is denied or ignored by consciousness. It hurts when consciousness 'decides' what should or should not happen in Creation without reference to the needs and desires of sentience. As with the trees, for instance.

"Healing Body, Body healing Creation... this will happen. It will happen because Body and only Body has the parentalness and power to bring consciousness from its position of master over sentience... to the much healthier position of her servant. Only when consciousness is at the service of sentience will the real healing begin.

"You are Body in human form, and whether you know it or not, you have incredible skill and potential in both powers of awareness. As Body, both consciousness and sentience are at your command.You, and only you can do this thing that has never been done. But how will you turn a tide that has been going the wrong way since the beginning, since the foundations of manifestation were first laid?

"The answer is in your willingness. The willingness of conscious awareness to serve sentient awareness is the first necessary step in healing Body. In my introduction to this class, I pointed to finding and encouraging your willingness to heal as the first key step. Now I'd like to begin discussing the second step."

The Second Dimension of Time

"There is another dimension of time that is hidden to most humans, but quite obvious to 'higher consciousness.' The ordinary conception of time is like a line that goes from the past through the present and into the future. Events can be placed on this line, and it is used to organize and make sense of much of human experience. But linear time is only one dimension of time.

"The second dimension of time can be understood if you imagine that rather than a completely straight line, linear time unfolds as a giant spiral. And then imagine that the spiral closes to form a circle that comes back again to its beginning, like the rim of a wheel.

"Now imagine that each moment on the line of time, each moment on the rim of the wheel... is connected by a spoke that goes all the way to the wheel's central hub. Linear time still unfolds as a spiral-like line, but each moment along that line is connected to a single, central point through a 'spoke' in the wheel. In this metaphor the spokes and hub represent the second dimension of time.

"The first dimension of time is the cornerstone of the first attention... and along with the three dimensions of space, it constitutes the four dimensional space-time continuum. The second temporal dimension, however, exists only in the second attention.

"The place in the center, at the hub of the wheel... is beyond all time, and has access to every moment... past, present and future. As a seeker moves inward toward the hub, they move toward higher and higher consciousness.

"This place at the hub, in the center of time is the single eternal moment through which consciousness can behold all of manifestation... including all the events and realities at the rim, all the fixtures and forces of the first attention.

"And from the perspective of the hub of the wheel, the rim and all of its manifestations are illusionary. They exist in time, and from the point of view of eternity... they are not real. In other words, the first attention and everything in it is illusionary. From the point of Eternal Now, linear time and the space and energy and matter associated with it appear to be temporary, impermanent. Only this single eternal moment of cosmic consciousness experienced at the hub seems to be 'real.'

"This understanding has been the basis of many religions and philosophies. And in those terms 'attainment' has meant leaving the rim of the wheel, leaving the world of pain and suffering, the world of 'Maya'... and moving as far into the second attention as possible, by traveling in the second dimension of time toward the hub, toward the Eternal Now. This point of absolute presence is where one may experience themselves as the crown of Creation, and indeed its Creator.

"This is the journey of the spiritual masters and mystics and many practitioners of magic. It is considered to be the way of conquering death, because in eternity... in the single moment of 'Now' or 'all time,' there is no death. In these terms death is part of the illusion of linear time, just an another element along the rim of the wheel of karma.

"But all this 'attainment' has been leaving something out... Body and the Mother. The Will of Creation and Body have been left behind. They were necessary steps to the attainment of permanent cosmic bliss... but here in the 'Now,' they are no longer necessary.

"And although nothing has seemed wrong with this, when consciousness has moved into the 'higher realms' away from the first attention, away from sentience... and particularly away from the most difficult parts of the feeling essence, it has in effect left manifestation itself behind. It's been a journey of return to Original Heart, but without Body, and without the Mother's most vital parts. And it has always ended in singularity, oneness without true peers. This was not Original Heart's intention in splitting itself to create manifestation. And it is nothing like the Mother's dream.

"But to 'higher consciousness' this has seemed for all world like the right direction to go, and even though Body has been placated in the process... this permanent withdrawing of consciousness has not been helping the healing of the pain and suffering of the lost Will in Body. This has not been consciousness in the service of sentience. This has been consciousness escaping the limitations it has perceived certain kinds of sentience had placed on its freedom. It's been the old story of Spirit lifting out of the pain, suffering and hopelessness of Body and the Mother."

The Third Dimension of Time

"There is yet another dimension to time. Imagine, if you will, that the wheel is not flat, but rather shaped like a cone. In other words, the rim of the wheel forms the circumference at the base of the cone, and the hub becomes the point at the vertex. If it where standing upright, the cone would resemble the shape of the pointed hat traditionally worn by wizards and witches.

"In this view the base of the cone or brim of the hat is the four dimensional universe of the first attention. The point at the top of the hat is now the central, all present single moment of eternity that includes all other moments in the second attention as they unfold, all the way down to the bottom, linear time of the first attention at the brim of the hat.

"'Spiritual attainment' has meant essentially that consciousness leaves the brim and moves up to take permanent residence in the all-powerful present moment of Creation. But this is not true wholeness. In this scenario Body is left to die its 'illusionary' death. And Will is left without the light or consciousness that she needs to bring herself out of her pain.

"The Mother, the Will of Creation is based in sentience. Our metaphor can be expanded to include her reality too. She is not only present at the brim, in the upper chakras, but all the chakras below as well.

"Now imagine two cones, with their bases together. One points upward like the wizard's hat... that's consciousness. The other points downward, like a downward moving vortex or whirlpool... that's sentience. In the middle, at the widest point is Heart, balancing the feeling sense of sentience with the knowing sense of consciousness.

"In the upper cone or whirlpool is consciousness and light...ever rising up in glory, abundance and bliss. In the lower cone or whirlpool is sentience, dropping down ever lower into darkness, pain and misery... in the absence of the Light which has risen away from her. And all of this, both consciousness and sentience... all of this is Body. All awareness, all consciousness and sentience is of and in manifestation, the totality of existence. And real wholeness, true wholeness demands that it all be included.

"Spirit and Grandfather have said that this is to be a complete recovery of all the lost Will essence of all the Creations. This includes everything necessary to realize the Mother's Dream, and this means that all of her lost parts will be reclaimed.

"In order for this to happen, the direction of Spirit's movement, the traditional preferred direction of consciousness... must change. Instead of rising up and away from the first attention and all the Will essence that is in pain and drudgery there, it must come back down and be with her. And moreover, loving Spirit as conscious awareness must be willing to move all the way down to the deepest and darkest Hells that exist at the bottom of the lower vortex.

"There are two kinds of Light... loving Light and empowering Light. Empowering Light has been rising up and away from lost Will, seeking ever greater kingdom, power and glory.

"Loving Light, truly exalted consciousness, conscious awareness with the intent to heal... is Light that is coming down from the heights of glory and power. Loving Light is truly worthy of the title 'God.' It is Light that's willing to somehow find its way... to dwell with the Mother in the most painful realities of Hell. Just as consciousness can know the pleasure of eternal bliss in the Now of the single present moment... loving consciousness is willing to know the abject pain of the eternal suffering in the forever Now of the Mother's deepest and darkest sentient awareness.

"But who will do this? Who would voluntarily bring their consciousness from the heights of the cosmic glory and power they have attained... to the hopeless depths of torturous pain and despair. The answer of course is you, the healer of Creation.

"Only those who are already in manifestation are capable of completely identifying with Body in both attentions... and then reclaiming all of the lost Will of Creation, all of the lost Will in manifested existence. This is you.

"Only you are capable of bringing Spirit and the eternal glory of Heaven to its new home here on Earth.This is the essence of the healing work, the culmination of Original Spirit's search for the Mother's Body. And in the next part of this lesson we'll discuss some practical methods you may find useful in doing this work.

"It is both your conscious awareness of the highest, most glorious spiritual realities of joy and Light... and your spirit's love for conscious knowing of the sentient awareness of the deepest, most hopeless realities of the Mother's pain and suffering. These are what will enable you to bring together the two opposite poles of Creation in their completely whole, loving union... as who you truly are, New Heart in Body."
