  • Transformation of Consciousness

    dubois almaas transformation consciousness essential presence

    Yesterday A.H. Almaas mentioned that essential presence is what transforms the consciousness.

    One’s practice becomes how to stay in touch with essential presence and not about achieving any particular state of consciousnes.

    Almaas said that there are very few people who can actually live from, move from, and act in essential presence though many think they do. It is more difficult than we imagine.

    After one is able to maintain contact with essential presence, expressing it becomes the practice. The practice eventually leads to: essential presence is what acts, it’s what does, it is what is.

    A result of this is that one’s life becomes a life of service – lived not from the perspective of the ego – getting what I want, enjoying what I want, but serving that deeper nature.

  • Dance & Evolution of Consciousness

    Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music. – Angela Monet

    Dance of Shiva is what scientists call the dance of particles as they arise and disappear out of “quantum” foam.

    Sacred Dance and the Mystery of Presence
    presence in the body–
    –the emergence of sensation,
    appreciation of life itself,
    awareness of form and weight
    and place in space
    presence in the feelings–
    —the emergence of a longing for Being,
    conscience, compassion,
    relation to rather than isolation from others;
    and all of Great Nature
    presence in the mind–
    –the emergence of the nature of awareness,
    seeing, insight, awareness of self,
    awareness of pattern
    and therefore meaning
    Self-remembering and the deep mystery of Being

    Movements, an integral part of George Gurdjieff teachings, are designed to harmonize our thinking, feeling and moving; refine and develop our attention; and deepen our presence.
