CONSCIOUSNESS BARRIERS

CONSCIOUSNESS BARRIERS

If you have been following along with my Sunday Talks on the subject of consciousness since June 5^th, https://www.youtube.com/user/WMEAWorld/videos you will have most likely reached a conclusion that it is important to remove the barriers; barriers that are preventing your consciousness from expanding.

When I’ve had the good fortune of experiencing the inner planes, some of those experiences have taught me something about karma, which is that we are not punished for our iniquities, but by them.

Helena P. Blavatsky says that there is something corrective in our own consciousness. And that, as a result, we instinctively want a second chance to do it right. Depending on your barriers though, it is likely that you will do it again, only worse, because the habits are there; but if you are in the process of awakening, then just the opposite will happen; you will  catch yourself and say, “No, I’m not going to do it.”

There is a book by P.D. Ospensky[1] One day in the life of Tolkien where he writes about a person that is very poor and how it affected his relationship with a rich girl. “If you love me, you will visit me when we visit the black sea,” she said.  But he was unable to say, “I don’t have the money to visit you.” He couldn’t say it; he got choked up.  It’s not that we are predestined to have certain experiences….it is our consciousness. We have to change ourselves before our future will change. It takes a huge effort to change oneself.

Everything is about striving to perfect yourself.  How many lifetimes will we live before we wake up and finally begin to break down the barriers that keep our consciousness from expanding; that keep us from living the true purpose of our Life?

The purpose of karma is not about punishment it is about perfection. It is about giving oneself a chance to be changed; an opportunity to live one’s life as an awakened consciousness, an awakened soul instead of as a sleeping personality.

In general, we know that our maya, glamors and illusions are major barriers toward soul expansion; toward consciousness expansion. If you want to learn more about the specifics of these three barriers: maya, glamor and illusion, I suggest you read Glamor a World Problem by A.A. Bailey. Or, if you are interested, send me an email and I can send you some information. You can write to: staff@wmea-world.org.

Here are some basic barriers:

1. Blind urges and drives. Blind urges and drives do not let your consciousness expand. What does this mean? Suddenly you want to drink. Suddenly you want to verbally attack someone because he is not in agreement with your opinions.
2. Habits. Habits are barriers that prevent your consciousness from expanding because habits are crystallization’s on certain levels of consciousness. When your consciousness is petrified, you develop habits.

3. Hate, anger, fear, jealousy, malice, revenge and slander are barriers that prevent your consciousness from expanding. If you fall into these traps, you never have a chance to expand your consciousness; and surpass or transcend yourself.

When you have experiences in which you transcend yourself; when you surpass yourself…it is the greatest joy. For example, you take the State Bar exam, and if you pass this exam, you will become an attorney. But let’s say that you failed. What would you do? Do you give up and say you are a failure? Or do you study and study and study, take that same bar exam and pass it the next time. Have you had such an experience? “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, again.”

I remember when I was home for the holidays, while attending the University of Iowa. My parents and brother were all very upset for he had been notified that he failed his practical exam in pre-dentistry; a failure which would prevent him from acceptance and entering dental school. He was ready to give up, but my parents enrolled him in a summer school to give him confidence; a course which helped him prepare himself to take the test a second time.  In the Fall semester, he returned to the university and was allowed to take the test a second time; this time he passed; he was accepted into dental school and upon graduation practiced dentistry for the whole of his professional life. I’ve always remembered that moment and how mom and dad helped him through it. It taught me a great lesson. Do you see; a barrier was removed.

William Edward Hickson (January 7, 1803 – March 22) was credited with popularizing this proverb[2]. He wrote::

‘Tis a lesson you should heed:

Try, try, try again.

If at first you don’t succeed,

Try, try, try again.^[2]

Mr. Hickson was a British educational writer. He was the editor of The Westminster Review in the mid-1800’s. But this proverb can also be traced back to the writings of Thomas H. Palmer in his Teacher’s Manual.

We can find such pearls or signs on the road of life, throughout our life, about how to expand our consciousness. We need to pay attention if we truly want to evaporate our many life times of barriers allowing us to experience more freedoms, realize greater soul-potentials, and have communication with the higher worlds; the future.
