THE ALTERED STATE

What man has yet to realize is that Soul is not merely a state of consciousness but rather an infinite capacity in consciousness to experience life. Soul is in essence a GOD state or condition of awareness or Isness which is ultimately nowhere capable of doing nothing. It is The Void. Soul is that infinite state of pre-life. But Soul does have an endearing quality: It can dream.

Soul dreams not as man who tends to dream subconsciously, but as a conscious act. Soul is the inertia of GOD, dreaming. And Soul has the ability to find being in the dream, to experience the all of life. Man is Soul's dream. And Man can consciously realize Soul's dream by offering up his state of being to the dream of Soul. Man soon finds that it is this wondrous state of being the dream that takes him step-by-step into that ultimate and rapturous state of realization and consciousness share by Soul.

Man, having taken Soul's dream as his own, finds that he has acquired a Soul consciousness, enabling him to align with any state of energy, time, space or matter imaginable, and have that alignment yield to him the desired of life, a blessed oneness of Man and Soul, abundantly and beyond dreaming.

Man is taught that in order to experience himself as Soul or the true self, he must die to find separation from the physical body. This is a falsehood. Soul's assumption and alignment with the physical dream or world is a matter of choice and as changeable as a suit of clothes. Soul/Man must merely realize such separation is possible while he is still in the physical form and learn the process of initiating that separation. Because Soul becomes the assumption of the desired, man appears to be all that life is, rather than a chosen viewpoint of life and altered at will. Such realization is made possible by an unseating of the presiding conscious state.

There are several methods of unseating the consciousness, enabling one to establish a greater state of reality. I offer this unseating via the Triune Matrix which I personally consider preferable. Two other methods held in high regard (and highly guarded) by various paths as effective techniques for initiating the chosen state are offered here. But I contend that the ultimate goal determines the preferable method. And, the ultimate goal must be the journey both to GOD and God. The Triune Matrix is the GOD/God journey.

Please be forewarned. Such techniques are better taught by the inner master, spiritual guide or a master of consciousness who finds being in both the inner and outer states. Anyone trying either of the following two methods on his own without such guidance will most likely fall victim to them. Harnessing the unseated consciousness is a highly improbable and extremely challenging undertaking for the novice. I offer a choice only to still the labors of the spiritual skeptic. Life's ultimate truth is simply not a matter of debate. It is an exact and factual actuality.

Soma

The first technique of unseating the consciousness is Soma. Soma is the use of various consciousness-altering herbs, usually a mystical drink or inhalant designed to initiate, distinquish or enhance a movement in consciousness. Soma means in cermony or in state. The consciousness-loosening herb actually functions as an enhancer illuminating the chosen state to a greater degree of perception. Assuming the desire state, one enters into Soma. The assumed state is illuminated to that greater degree of perception and conviction. Its realization is garnered in the dissipation of all lesser states.

Several such mystical herbs are still in use even today, used mostly by paths now shadows of their former selves, merely emulating the original teachings. Few paths have retained full knowledge of their use. Yet, under the careful tutelage of a qualified master, each can initiate realization of those worlds beyond. Still, I recommend the Triune Matrix as it is less demanding, offering far less danger or trauma, while yielding a by far greater, everlasting result.

Kundalini

The second technique is one which, in its unbridled manifestation, has held Man is a vice-like grip of ignorance. The awakening of the Kundalini (psychic energy) means awakening a feminine consciousness in the male and a masculine consciousness in the female. In essence, male and female are one divided flow of energy. The physical form conforms with the dominant flow at conception, while the opposing flow remains dormant. When the dormant flow or state is awakened properly, it enables one to literally pass through that awakened gender consciousness, and into a third state, experiencing an unseating of the heretofore presiding conscious state.

This awakening or unseating is accomplished via certain metaphysical exercises. Once the unseating is accomplished and mastered, the two lesser states of gender consciousness merge into a third and greater state. Should one make it through the Kundalini experience, one can emerge in a full realizaton of Soul. Again, it is that experience to be taught by the master, or one risks the danger of being entrapped, overwhelmend or simply lost in the experience or process itself, thus losing sight of the product or desired.

Millions today are lost in the process of Kundalini, initiated deliberately, in ignorance or by the natural spiritual evolvement of Man as Soul. Far too many individuals have been overwhelmed by the experience of the awakened opposite gender consciousness whether in the present or a prior lifetime, with the experience still to be culminated or concluded by its transcendence. Ironically, most people have been drawn into the entrapping aspects of the experience simply by the fear of it.

Man must re-learn that in the physical world one state of gender consciousness manifests outwardly while the other remains dormant. The dormant state yields those contributing inner qualities to a greater or lesser degree as the character of the individual demands. In pursuit of the unseated consciousness, the first experience many encounter is the awareness of this dormant energy which is to be recognized and transcended in the emergence of Soul. This encounter is simply a part of attaining the Soul conscious state of awareness.

In the Triune Matrix technique, the experience encountered is subtle enough for one to control, while gaining all it has to offer, which is considerable.

In this text, you are given three methods of unseating the unconscious. Of course, the danger found in the less recommended techniques lie in one's inability to control the mind. In unseating the consciousness, mind control is a must. And in Kundalini or Soma, one had better first have mastered the mind. Man must learn that mind control is taught best by the inner master or spiritual guide through one's own experience. (We will discuss the encountering of the inner master in another section of this text.) Should one lose control of the mind in the use of a usually unstable or unpredictable Soma or an awakened, unbridled Kundalini one risks losing sight of the pursued state with possible disastrous results.

The problems encountered experiencing either method of transcendence or unseating is simply that there is no base state. One is either in state or not. Should one on his own fail to attain the desired state of consciousness, the former state could no longer exist. The mis-experience has simply cut off that road back, leaving one with nowhere to go, or even an awareness that he should go somewhere, given the choice. It has taken years of conditioning to develop the former state of consciousness, that old reality. It would take possibly years to retrieve it. We are trapped in the process.

The role of the inner master or guide is that of spiritual anchor, a constant reminder of Soul's freedom and right to choose the conscious state, what life is to be. He will always offer a more individually structured guidance, an alternative to the more radical methods as those just mentioned, if and when the desired is expressed.
