| Frederick,
I too am interested in the 'levels of awareness'.
Not to get side tracked but I'm also beginning to discover the same
thing your girlfriend has:
>> But, as she related to me, what she learned from the
situation is that the reality she created was not one in which
she was responsible for the act (of suicide) but that it was
the way she chose in this lifetime to generate emotions and
how to deal with them. In other words, she was able to
encounter (or confront) very severe emotions by creating her
reality in the manner she did. Clearly, HOW she dealt with
the emotions is the "lesson" for her. <<
I've always been one to be 'ruled by my emotions' and I'm finally
'learning' that I created some 'tough life situations' for that very
reason - to see how I would deal with the emotions they elicited.
Now that I'm more 'aware' of this, I can consciously choose how I will
handle my emotions not just react to them. This 'awareness' enables
me to be more loving to myself and others.
Getting there,
Ro

Okay, Lazaris fans, Frederick, your cosmic deejay is here
cueing up the old LP to play some of your favorites...
:-)
I listened to this tape and had to replay it over and over
to get what I did. The mechanical quality is poor and Lazaris'
accent seems to be thicker than it is these day (maybe not.)
Anyway, the recording is called "The Subjectivity of Self" and
took place in a home (of an eventual staff person) in front of
perhaps thirty people.
He starts out talking about a few things and then gets into
Descartes' "I think, therefore I am" which he says is unfortunate.
If anything, and this is not true either, it would be "I am, therefore
I think." From there he goes into comparing our ideas of awareness
to the development of the earth.
1. Relates the seeing of gaseous formation of the Earth to MECHANICAL
awareness.
2. Then it rains a lot and we can see the moon, which he relates
to SENSUAL awareness. Our tongues, and other examples I couldn't
fully grasp.
3. As the Earth condenses and cools, we notice stars. These
correspond to becoming aware of our EMOTIONS.
4. Then we discover planets within the stars. This is INTELLECTUAL
awareness (the sorting out of mechanical, sensual and emotional
awarenesses.) This is total condensation or determinism.
5. The expansion into a new level grows out of step 4 into seeing
the galaxy, seeing farther than before. Seeing the Milky Way.
This is a concept greater than intellectual but it is still
looking. (If he named it, I missed it.)
6. Then we see other galaxies. This is a universal, holistic
awareness.
7. By concentrating and stretching, we WILL discover other universes.
This correlates to cosmic consciousness.
The more we condense into ourself, the farther we see, ying-yang.
As we condense, as we center, our awareness expands. As we reduce
the frequencies, our power increases. This he called the basis
of creativity.
As we center within, so we expand consciousness. As we
[sorry, I listened several times but couldn't understand the word]
"befriend" energy, our consciousness shrinks. {I don't think
"befriend" is the word he used.}
This ties into Ying-Yang consciousness. As you contract into
determinism, you expand awareness into the FUTURE. The FUTURE
determines the present because state of total freedom (step 1)
of the freedom of determination (free will) chooses to move toward
determinism. Free will activates and moves towards its future.
The future always determines the present...the past only influences
the present.
Then he went on to say that the former isn't true, since there
is no time. He said WE create the past, present and future. They
ARE and we match them up by consciousness.
He further stated that MOTION doesn't happen...our cartoonists
know this. There are billions of realities in each instant.
There is condensation or there is expansion. WHY? Because we always
have. We made 7 decisions in order to be physical.
One is to play the games. To conform to time because it makes it
easier to function.
Reality is manifested thought. EVERY thought is manifested...on
some level.
We have given up our free will on the past---the future [in regards
to free will] we *barely* hold onto...which is why it is less
determined. It's scary to lose free will (and it should be.)
This is why predictions are so scary.
I listened to about 40 minutes of tape to do this. I do not wish
to go into it further (takes too much time...and most of this stuff
is available either in note 358 or on tapes or in books.) So, that's
it. So my note in .1 was not too close...oh well! (martyr, martyr!)

As I re-read it, I noticed that I should have clarified
why Lazaris said that predictions can be scary. He had told of
a woman to whom he had spoken that he had told that she would be
receiving two different phone calls and he told her the
precise time that the phone calls would occur (and what their
purpose was, etc.) Well, apparently they occured exactly as
he had told her they would. This scared her sufficiently to
not want to talk to Lazaris (again or something like that.)
So, it's not just negative predictions that can scare us.
...just to clarify a point.
