The Coming Revolution in Consciousness

Die before you die. Let go of all that makes up the "you" that you think you are. All his/her worries and stories, gone. "You" are a figment of your own imagination. A self-spinning mental image that is based entirely upon preconceptions; you are literally living in your head. Whether it be personal stories self-written, political and/or philosophical ideologies, etc., none are truly "there" besides in your head. You create "yourself" internally through the intellect, making yourself feel separate in a world that contains no one-thing in and of itself. The "you" that you create, the individual if you will, is only a small fragment in the wide field of existence. In reality, what you truly are is experience and everything contained within that potentially infinite span of experience, right now. 

We have been searching our entire lives for that one thing in the outside world that will bring us closer to "it". Whatever "it" is... We search through various religions, supposed spiritual truths, money, material things, food, and much much more. Through ages of this, no truth has been left to be found. That is because there is no "dead" truth found in the "outer" world. There is no light at the end of tunnel, the tunnel just keeps going and spontaneously forming different things, which is your experience. Truth is alive, and you are it. Your pain, your anxiety, your happiness, your joy; this very moment you are having right now. 

"The question of whether or not there is a God or truth or reality, or whatever you like to call it, can never be answered by books, by priests, philosophers or saviors. Nobody and nothing can answer the question but you yourself and that is why you must know yourself. Immaturity lies only in total ignorance of self. To understand yourself is the beginning of wisdom. And what is yourself, the individual you? I think there is a difference between the human being and the individual. The individual is a local entity, living in a particular country, belonging to a particular culture, particular society, particular religion. The human being is not a local entity. He is everywhere. If the individual merely acts in the particular corner of the vast field of life, then his action is totally unrelated to the whole. So one has to bear in mind that we are talking of the whole not the part, because in greater the less is, but in the lesser the greater is not. The individual is the little conditioned, miserable, frustrated entity, satisfied with his little gods and his little traditions, whereas a human being is concerned with total welfare, the total misery, and the total confusion of the world."


Jiddu Krishnamurti, Freedom From the Known

You are the outer being expressed through the inner, and the inner reacting to the outer (even though there is no "outer" or "inner" for it is all one process). Notice this. Watch yourself. Watch how you react. Notice how you seek. See how you blame. This un-watched fragmented you creates the world we have today. The world filled with misery, hunger, endless wars, and the likes. We are all responsible for the sorrow and pain in the world. But this is not an issue, this is a solution. This means that we can change it. Embrace your true nature: everything, the whole of your experience, the totality of it all. Be unafraid. Be. That. Now. This is the coming revolution. This is the revolution of the psyche. This is the revolution of consciousness. It is all up to you.

  1. Consciousness is the illusion of the
    searchlight of attention turned back upon the self. If you can trick a Mind into thinking that it is conscious, it is not an illusion any more. Once achieved, the illusion of consciousness
    is the actual state of consciousness.
