Beyond Consciousness


Beyond Self-Consciousness | Anadi Teaching

In addition, a certain level of self-reference is transmuted into the I am of me, meaning the duality within me is dissolved. However, the awakening of conscious me does not fully transform the mechanical aspect of self-reference; because of the absence of surrender, conscious me is simply too present to fully override it.

There exist no scientific theories explaining how consciousness is generated by material processes, nor does anybody have even a remote idea how something like that could possibly happen. Most of the negative tendencies pertaining to ego are not innate to it but are acquired in the long process of ego succumbing to its lower nature.

Conscious me is not our complete self and hence its impact on the functions of the mind is limited. In order to truly go beyond and dissolve self-reference, it needs to facilitate a deeper awakening through its surrender to consciousness. One could say that an even deeper problem than self-consciousness is the fact that our sense of me is crystallized and stuck in the front of the head. Their self-consciousness mechanisms are just feeding on this deformed sense of me.

'The Absolute Beyond Consciousness' by Nisargadatta Maharaj explained

In the process of the surrender of conscious me to consciousness, we are opening up this space, emancipating the observer, and freeing the mind from the knot of the false me. Before we can go beyond self-reference, we must unglue our identity from the front of the head, and the only way to achieve this is through surrender into I am.

When our me has merged with I am, it actually cannot reconstruct a center in the front of the head. If it does feel pulled back to the front, this is a clear indication that in this very moment it has become separated from I am.

That is why the stabilization of recognition and surrender to consciousness are so important. Without them, our me simply cannot be transformed; it will keep returning to its old ways. As it matures, our me is expanding its own consciousness so that it embraces both its continuous unity with I am and effortless participation in the outer world as one, harmonious reality.

Beyond Consciousness

This is the meaning of true integration between me, I am and creation. Not only can me function naturally in the outer world from the place of its surrender to I am, it becomes much more efficient and clear. Even our vision changes: Since it is relaxed, it is also much more economic and it conserves and replenishes our energy. We call this process the decentralization of ego, of conscious me and the observer combined. Having established our roots in pure consciousness the unity of pure me and I am , we are much more empowered to deal with the compulsive self-reference and its further expression, self-consciousness.

Truth be told, when there is continuous surrender into I am, the observer has a hard time creating self-reference. If it keeps doing it, it means that either the continuity of surrender was lost or our surrender is too weak.

What is beyond consciousness?

If our surrender is weak, it has no force to counteract the inherent tendencies of the mind. In our surrender there has to be complete devotion to our pure nature. We surrender from the place of love, honoring our higher being by relinquishing identification with our lower self.

There is intensity to surrender: The deeper consciousness is in horizontal and vertical samadhi, the more we are empowered to undo self-reference. It is not that self-reference is gone; it still gently arises from time to time, but without its compulsive quality. When it does arise, it is being instantaneously counteracted, balanced and released by the simultaneous surrender of pure me into I am.

It is dissolved as it arises. This means that self-reference becomes transparent and is no longer able to capture our sense of identity. Through our evolution we are not really eliminating any of the natural functions of the human mind; rather, we are transmuting them, activating their positive potential. In a similar way as awakening of conscious me does not eradicate the function of the observer but dissolves its ability to function as an autonomous center of self , or embodying I am does not eliminate conscious me but makes it transparent , reaching samadhi in consciousness does not abolish the faculty of self-reference: Through arriving at the state of surrender we only eliminate the negative, false self-reference.

As we begin to use self-reference from the right place, this automatically transforms the quality of self-consciousness.

It is based no longer on our lower nature or personality but comes into existence as an expression of our inner emptiness, enhancing our sense of orientation on a relative level without generating a false sense of self outside of our soul. When the root of self-consciousness is transformed so is the faculty of self-image. It is activated occasionally, but only as a function, not as a substitute identity. When we know who we are as our true self, we do not need to look into the mirror to identify it. Self-image has its function — without it we could not have a proper relationship with the world — but the soul does not need to dwell upon the concept of being the soul.

In fact, to truly realize our soul is to not know who we are — it is a state of not-knowing.

When there is a need for self-reflection or communication with others, we can conceptually acknowledge having the identity of the soul or of me, but a moment later we forget it and return to emptiness. Existing beyond self-consciousness, we can truly know for the first time who we are and see the world as it is. And a very unique soundtrack in 's "Expeditions: Streaming and Download help.
