THE THIRD ATTENTION IS AN IMMEASURABLE
CONSCIOUSNESS STATE
the third attention- an immensurable
consciousness which engages undefinable aspects of the awareness
of the physical and luminous bodies. EG,18
THE THIRD ATTENTION IS KEEPING THE AWARENESS
WHICH IS USUALLY RELINQUISHED AT THE MOMENT OF DYING
that to cross over to freedom did not mean
eternal life as eternity is commonly understood- that is as living
forever. What the rule stated was that one could keep the
awareness which is ordinarily relinquished at the moment of
dying...EG,178,179
A SOMERSAULT OF THOUGHT INTO THE INCONCEIVABLE
WHICH IS THE ACT OF BREAKING OUR PERCEPTUAL BARRIERS. IT IS THE
MOMENT IN WHICH MAN'S PERCEPTION REACHES ITS LIMITS.
...a somersault of thought into the
inconceivable which is the act of breaking our perceptual
barriers. It is the moment in which man's perception reaches its
limits. POS,122
WHY
CAN'T WE PERCEIVE IN THE THIRD ATTENTION?
BECAUSE OUR ASSEMBLAGE POINT CANNOT CLUSTER
ANYTHING
The unknowable is an eternity where our AP has
no way of clustering anything. (that's why its unknowable)
FFW,142.
THE UNKNOWABLE HAS NO ENERGIZING EFFECTS
WHATSOEVER/IT IS COSTLY TO EXPERIENCE IT
the unknowable has no energizing effects
whatsoever. It is not within human reach; therefore it should not
be intruded upon foolishly or even prudentlythe new seers realized
that they had to be prepared to pay exorbitant prices for the
faintest contact with it. FFW,50...
THE THIRD AWARENESS IS MEANINGLESS TO OUR
COMPARTMENTALIZED MINDS BUT THE FOCUS WAS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SUCH
A STATE CAN EXIST
this kind of awareness (of the third
attention) is meaningless to our compartmentalized minds.
Therefore the crux of the warrior's struggle was not so much to
realize that the crossing over stated in the rule meant crossing
to the third attention, but rather to conceive that there exists
such an awareness at all. EG,179.
WHAT
HAPPENS TO US WHEN WE GO INTO THE THIRD ATTENTION?
THE GLOW OF AWARENESS KINDLES ALL OF THE
EAGLE'S EMANATIONS INSIDE THE COCOON WHICH IS CALLED THE FIRE FROM
WITHIN
Third attention is attained when the glow of
awareness turns into the fire from within; a glow that kindles not
one band at a time but all the Eagle's emanations inside the man's
cocoon. FFW,85..fire from within.. the job of realigning all those
emanations paves the way for the peculiar maneuver of lighting up
all the emanations inside the cocoon. FFW,202... Yet it is nothing
(the glow from a state of heightened awareness) in comparison to
the glow produced by a state of total awareness, which is seen as
a burst of incandescence in the entire luminous egg. It is an
explosion of light of such a magnitude that the boundaries of the
shell are diffused and the inside emanations extend themselves
beyond anything imaginable. That is the moment when the fire from
within consumes them. And in full awareness they fuse themselves
to the emanations at large, and glide into eternity.
FFW,131,132
EVERY CELL BECOMES AWARE OF ITSELF AND WE
BECOME AWARE OF THE TOTALITY OF OUR BODY
at the moment of crossing, one enters into the
third attention, and the body in its entirety is kindled with
knowledge. Every cell at once becomes aware of itself, and also
aware of the totality of the body. EG,178,179....
