Eternal Awareness

FALLING BELOW AND RISING ABOVE THOUGHT

When you are very tired, you may become more peaceful, more relaxed, than in your usual state. This is because thinking is subsiding, and so you can’t remember your mind-made problematic self anymore. You are moving toward sleep. When you drink alcohol or take certain drugs (provided they don’t trigger your pain-body), you may also feel more relaxed, more carefree, and perhaps more alive for a while. You may start singing and dancing, which since ancient times are expressions of the joy of life. Because you are less burdened by your mind, you can glimpse the joy of Being. Perhaps this is the reason alcohol is also called “spirit.” But there is a high price to pay: unconsciousness. Instead of rising above thought, you have fallen below it. A few more drinks, and you will have regressed to the vegetable realm.

Space consciousness has little to do with being “spaced out.” Both states are beyond thought. This they have in common. The fundamental difference, however, is that in the former, you rise above thought; in the latter, you fall below it. One is the next step in the evolution of human consciousness, the other a regression to a stage we left behind eons ago.

Space is awareness.

The totality of existence can be described as "all is vibration" and all is one.

At one end of this spectrum is the infinite extension of space where the wavelength is infinite and the frequency of vibration is zero.

At the other end of the spectrum is the singularity of space where the wavelength is zero and the frequency of vibration is infinite.

All of the different vibrations overlap and are connected with all the others. All is One.

Every night during sleep we may dream but then we also enter deep sleep, where awareness returns to the infinite expanse of space, then it collapses again into finite awareness after deep sleep.

As the mind spiritually awakens its frequency of vibration is increased. Perfect stillness is zero vibration on one end of the spectrum and infinite vibration on the other end; Alpha and Omega are different and the same.

The ego does not actually exist except as a useful thought concept to aid in spiritual teachings, meditations and awakening.

There is the pull towards unconsciousness and the pull towards awakening.

Falling below thought: The perfect stillness and unconsciousness of the infinite expanse only knows itself as the infinite awareness with no objects.

Rising above thought: The perfect stillness of the awakened state that knows itself as both an individual and the totality.

Rupert Spira talks about deep sleep.

I find we experience enough deep sleep that while in such sleep we are Not aware of the passing of time, just as the ' sleeping dead ' are Not aware of anything, or as Ecclesiastes 9:5 says the dead know nothing. Nothing but sleep as mentioned at Psalms 115:17; Psalms 146:4. So, to me that is why Jesus taught sleep in death at John 11:11-14.
Sleep in death's sleep until Resurrection Day meaning Jesus' coming 'millennium-long day' of governing over Earth.

Jesus also holds present moment Awareness as a valuable teaching in the bible...

Behold the birds of the heaven, that they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not ye of much more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit unto the measure of his life? And why are ye anxious concerning raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God doth so clothe the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? - Matthew 6:25-34

SpiritQuest It might be better to talk about Space and the Totality of Existence as Projections and Injections of Intensities or Energies. From Absolute sense vibration alone may not cover all apparent complexity. Counter intuitively if a thing is conditioned by cause alone and anywhere in it we can only find cause then ironically that thing is Causeless. The Absolute having no beginning or end has no vibration when taken as a totality. Pure Consciousness does not do anything but Pure Consciousness.

I don't see how this model explains such things as love, life, thought, consciousness, beauty, and etc. For example, saying a tree is vibration doesn't help explain its beauty.

I see major problems with your theories. This one stood out to me the most. If alpha and omega are different but the same, then why do things occur in different notions. Time is a God concept. Infinite time occurs in an infinite realm. If we are one with creation then why do people die at different times and how can you explain the intervention from physical and mental harm and the choices of blessings people receive. I as a Christian say its God in Jesus Christ.
