Mind Mastery

 

Consciousness is the observation of ones awareness of awareness.

A machine building cars can be programmed to be aware of the next car in line to place a door onto. But is it aware that is aware of what it is doing?

A computer can be programmed to be aware of what functions should be initiated when it is turned on and aware that it should turn off all it’s functions when being powered down. Is the computer aware that it is only functioning as it’s been programmed to and can actively consider behaving in a way that is counter to it’s programming?

You can be aware that you are dreaming when you are. But are you aware that you are aware in your dream? Can you influence and affect the outcome of your dream? Or are you just a semi aware observer on a ride witnessing your dream as it happens?

When one becomes lucid in their dreams, it is then said that they are having a conscious dream. What’s changed? They have become aware of their own awareness and now have the ability to control their experience. They are the driver now, not the passenger.

You may desire more money, but are you really conscious of why you do?

You may be aware that it is to have more of what you want, but are you aware of what you really want?

Some people desire more money to feel valuable.

Yet they are unaware they would feel more valuable by offering real value to the world.

What could be considered real value?

A product or service that improves the quality of ones life in a healthy and beneficial way.

Instead of offering real value, because they are not fully conscious of themselves, they make a successful business such as McDonalds that provides them lots of money, but no sense of value.

Many people look for jobs that they think will give them lots of money.

They think it’s the money that will make them happy.

Yet they are unaware of who they truly are. They lack any real detail about what they are passionate about and what actually brings them happiness.

They think money will make them happy, but money can only buy them things.

It cannot make one happy.

If someone were to discover what they are passionate about, become really good at it, recognise if the world needed their passion, then made money from their passion, it’s more probable they would become not only more financially successful, but have much more overall happiness.

If one was not aware of ones wants and needs in an intimate relationship, meaning they were unconscious to what they truly desired, they would more likely than not continue to generate relationships that were dissatisfying and hollow.

If someone were to be unaware of how their body functioned and how to keep it healthy, they would more likely than not accidentally cause harm and damage to themselves, resulting in sickness and disease.

Someone who is conscious about how there body works is much more likely to be healthy than someone who is unconscious.

If someone was aware not only of the existence of politics, but aware of the purpose of politics, meaning they had a greater level of consciousness than someone who was unaware of the purpose of politics, they of course would never vote or support such a destructive concept ever again.

Consciousness is not just greater and deeper levels of intelligence and comprehension of the way things work.

If consciousness was only dictated by intelligence and comprehension, then an AI plugged into the internet would be considered conscious.

Consciousness is the awareness of that intelligence and comprehension of reality and being able to utilise it to ones own benefit.

If a super smart AI was only able to answer your questions and serve your every demand, is it really conscious?

If a being only does what it does in every day life because it was programmed, is it really conscious?

The Utopian mindset is not to know simply how to do something or how something works, it’s to know the reason why.

Because without the why, the premise is lost.

Without a correct and accurate premise, how can any following actions align with ones true purpose and goals.

If one wanted to get fit and healthy and was told eating a diet of mcdonalds was the best way to achieve that, were given a step by step plan and told how to follow that plan and how the plan worked, their plan would fail.

Not because they didn't know how to follow the plan or how the plan worked, but becaise the premise was wrong.

Their premise was that the diet of only eating mcdonalds works.

They believed this without asking why it worked.

Why would eating mcdonalds help them lose weight?

The how can be fabricated and built from lies.

How the Mcdonalds diet works is this, because you are eating such energy rich food with plenty of calories, you have a great deal of energy to exercise more and to give your body the fuel it needs to repair your muscles and power your workouts. By eating Mcdonalds energy rich food 3 times a day with 4 hour intervals between meals, you are guaranteed to lose fat and build muscle, fast.

Without asking why the body needs more calories to burn fat or asking why it needs processed food to build muscle or why you should be eating 3 meals and day and why you should have 4 hour intervals or why the body puts on fat in the first place and why the body burns fat and why the body builds muscle, you are clueless.

You may know how the Mcdonalds diet works and know how to follow the plan, exactly. You may even be an expert in the diet.

But it’s pointless because your premise is wrong.

The premise is that it works.

The ability to ask why something works, not just how, is starting to become aware of awareness.

Someone may know exactly how a modern democratic society works, how the constitution works, how the upper and lower house of parliament works, how new legislation works, how taxes work, how town councils work and how everything to do with that system works.

They may be very aware of the operations of that system.

But they may be entirely unconscious to the fact that the system should not exist.

Because they failed to ask why anyone thinks they have the right to dominate someone else.

They didn’t ask why should someone have to pay a percentage of their earnings to someone else?

Why would someone think they have the legitimate moral right to attack someone for not handing over their private property?

Why would the only peaceful solution to society be to create a system that is the opposite of peaceful?

Why if we wanted to protect ourselves from violent aggressors would be create organisations whose only purpose is to be violent aggressors?

Why would we pay a group of people we need protection from to protect us?

Why would be support a system that invades other countries to steal their resources and kill innocent people?

Why would you vote in a system that always over promises and under delivers, like clockwork?

Why would you want to be part of a system that does not align with the 6 Lores of morality and actively works against them?

Why do you think the only way to have any control in your life is to give control to a ruling class?

Why do you think the best way to fix problems is through fear and punishment?

Why would you possibly think having an enforcement class dictate the will of the ruling class is going to help you?

Why would you think participating in an obviously corrupt and degenerate system would change it?

Why would you think doing nothing is going to magically create a better alternative?

Without asking why and only focusing on the how, one remains in a state of unconsciousness to low low consciousness.

To build and live in Utopia, we need to start asking why.

As soon as we do that, we raise our consciousness, we become aware of the things we are aware of to a much greater degree and we begin to transform possibility into reality.

Consciousness it not just what to think or how to think, it’s why to think.

If you are unaware of why you do what you do, whether that be your job, your hobby, or anything else, then really, why are you doing it? 

If you are unaware of why you think what you think or why you believe what you believe, how could you be considered conscious? 

If you don’t know why and are not aware of why you do what you do or why things work the way they do, then you are unaware.

If you are unaware of something, you are unconscious to it’s existence.

When you become aware of why you do something, why someone else does something or why something works the way it does, you become conscious of those facts.

If you don’t know why we have a government, you are not conscious of the reasons it actually exists.

Why do we really have police?

Why do we really have court systems that punish people?

We do we pay tax?

Why do we have so much poverty, disease and war?

You may think you know why to all these questions, but do you really?

Keep asking why until you get to the root cause.

‘Why do we pay tax?’ “To get things done for the public.”

‘Why do we have to be threatened to do something we would happily donate and volunteer for?’

‘Why do we have government?’ “To create order and stability.”

‘Then why is government the prime cause of disorder and instability?’

‘Why do we have police?’ “To protect us and keep us safe.”

‘Then why is it that most the time it’s the police who are the ones causing us harm, making us feel unsafe and who we need protection from?’

‘Why do we have so many laws?’ “Because we need them to provide equality and order.”

‘Then why is there more inequality in the world than there ever has been, more disease, more poverty, more homelessness and more war?’ If having more laws is meant to create more equality and order, why is it doing the opposite?’

‘Why do we need to inject substances into our bodies?’ “Vaccines are designed to keep you safe and healthy.”

‘Then why don’t they do that? Why do they do the opposite? If it was meant to work, why isn’t it working?’

To think we need government is a flawed premise.

That premise being that we need a ruling class to wield weapons of fear and punishment to somehow build a functioning society.

That premise is not based in reality, it’s based on lies.

Consciousness is grown from discerning truth from fiction.

Whether it is communism, modern democracy, capitalism, socialism or republics, it’s a flawed premise.

Why do we need a violent dominating ruling class?

The answer is that we don’t.

Consciousness is key to building and living in Utopia, free from rulers, classes, taxation, politics, government, war, inequality, money, poverty, disease, coercion, violence and crime.

Without consciousness, without asking why, there is only one guarantee, Dystopia.

We must ask why.

We must discover why.

We must become conscious of what we have been unconscious of.

We must become aware of the true nature of the things we thought we were aware of.

As with desire, everything in this world is done for one of two reasons.

To create pleasure or to cause pain.

When you comprehend this, you can figure out the answer to almost anything using the simple but extremely powerful questioning process of why.

Why do you have a job?

Because you need to work.

Why do you need to work?

Because you need to earn money.

Why do you need money?

Because you need it to buy things.

Why do you need to buy things?

Because you want things.

Why do you want things?

Because you need things to help you survive.

Why do you want to survive?

Because you want to live for yourself and your family.

Why do you want to live for yourself and your family?

Because you care about them.

Why do you care about you and your family?

Because you love yourself and your family.

Why do you love yourself and your family?

Because you enjoy the feeling of loving and it comes natural to you.

Why do you enjoy the feeling of love?

Because you were created or programmed or are simply like that.

Why do you continue to behave in a way that you were designed or are naturally?

Because you choose to.

Why do you choose to?

Because it is fun and you enjoy the feeling and results of love.

So ultimately, do you have a job and work for money to have more fun, feel better and enjoy more love?

Yes.

Why don’t you think about a better way to achieve more of the results you desire?

Good point!

Be careful with this tool, if you use it correctly, you will be able to discover the true motivations of anyone and not everyone simply works towards achieving pleasure.

There are unfortunately a great many people who work to cause pain, which if you’re able to use the why strategy and become aware of why certain institutions exist such as banking, government, police, financial sectors and courts you’ll become conscious of their true designs.

Consciousness is the ability to become aware of the true nature of reality, it’s being able to discern truth from fiction.

An AI may be programmed to know a great deal of information about how things work and many other details, but if all the information it knew was gathered from movies, well it’s not accurate to reality.

Even if it thinks it is right and can answer every question you ask.

It may be conscious of the information it has and how it relates together, but it’s not conscious of the facts of reality.

How conscious is something if what it knows is unrelated to the truth of reality?

Consciousness is the ability to know when you are right, when you are wrong and when you are unsure.

The higher the level of consciousness, the greater accuracy in being able to discern when you know something and when you believe something.

It’s less about what you know and more about knowing when you know and when you don't.

Consciousness can be considered many things and people have been and still will be forever pondering this marvellous thing, but in essence it is the function and state of being aware of your own awareness.

If you were trying to figure out what you really are at your core, what your spirit is made from, this would be the closest thing to what the essence of life is.

Without awareness of the awareness of your own existence, you can never be the director, driver, pilot, navigator, leader, commander or author of your own life.

When you are only aware of your existence, you are the observer, at the mercy of the whims of reality.

It’s liked you are strapped to a roller coaster and have no power to change what happens, only in for the ride.

When you become aware of your own awareness, you now have the ability to influence, impact and change your outcomes.

You have the ability to get off the roller coaster and do whatever you want out of infinite possibilities.

Without consciousness, there is only one path for you. The path that is chosen for you by that which is conscious.

When you become conscious, you get to decide your path.

How do you become conscious….?

The same way as anything...

Care, desire, curiosity…

An unobstructed consciousness, an integrated consciousness, a thinking consciousness, is a healthy consciousness. A blocked consciousness, an evading consciousness, a consciousness torn by conflict and divided against itself, a consciousness disintegrated by fear or immobilized by depression, a consciousness dissociated from reality, is an unhealthy consciousness.
