In the previous exercise of the mental series, we explored the paradox of how a finite object can reveal its infinite nature when we delve deeper into it. Now, let’s apply this practice to living beings—plants, insects, animals, and humans. The approach remains similar to our perception of an object from within, but we add a new perspective this time.
Let’s summarise the steps that have led us to the current stage of consciousness transference:
- In the fourth step of the transference of consciousness, we operate according to transmutation laws. When we recognize a connection with the object or vital entity of our projection, we can gain a superficial perception of it or feel a slight mental and emotional bond. We tend to relate to what we observe because we approach the perceived entity through the laws of analogy, experiencing its form and functions as if they were our own. That allows us to achieve an intimacy with the entity that aligns with the first two stages of the transference of consciousness mentioned by Bardon.
- We become familiar with the centre concept in the initial exercise with the depth point. Starting from the geometric centre of an object, we recognise it as the point that reveals the object’s essential meaning. This essential meaning is the foundation for the object’s form and functions. At this stage, we move beyond the surface-level, peripheral aspects of things to uncover their true significance. This experience is akin to the third stage of the transference of consciousness.
Transitioning from a phase where we connect with an entity through similarity or “sympathy” to a moment where we understand the entity’s causal link can be complex. Imagination plays a crucial role in shaping our consciousness, which remains tied to a specific object when reduced to an infinitesimal point. However, to attain awareness of the underlying causes, one must move beyond this initial connection.
In the meantime, it’s essential to adopt a state of patience; trying to force a result is akin to attempting to cut a cake with an axe—it’s an inappropriate method for achieving the desired outcome. By nurturing a strong imagination and maintaining determination, we may experience a flash of inspiration, though this is not guaranteed. This moment of clarity contains the essential meaning we seek.
Translating what we have learned into coherent concepts is often the most challenging aspect of this process. Ultimately, consistent practice doesn’t lead to gradual progress through small steps; instead, it involves creating the right conditions for the desired result to manifest.
The practice involving living beings presents some unique characteristics similar to those discussed regarding the transfer of consciousness during the Fourth Step, particularly about the plant and animal kingdoms, as well as human beings. The main distinction lies in the depth of the experience. For those who reach an advanced stage of practice, imprinting an idea or concept onto a form or entity becomes possible, leading to a modification. Additionally, one can focus vital energy or an element within that form for specific purposes.
The depth point is not limited by space or time. That means we can transfer our consciousness into objects and living beings that are not physically present, even at great distances. Once you have mastered all these transference states, you are prepared to face the final challenge of the mental preparation for the Fifth Step: transferring your consciousness into your depth point.
