InnerKnowledge

Our minds crave certainty, typically constructing elaborate belief systems to protect us from the vulnerability of not knowing. Yet the truth is that uncertainty is the ground of existence itself. You can never truly know what the next moment will bring or whether your interpretations of reality are accurate. When you relax your desperate grip on knowing, a newfound peace can emerge, along with an openness to discovery that transforms your experience of life.

The spiritual path of not knowing is paradoxically more stable than clinging to fixed ideas, because it moves with reality rather than resisting it. This does not mean abandoning discernment or becoming passive. Rather, it means holding your views lightly, remaining curious about perspectives different from your own and recognising that mystery is not a problem to be solved but the very nature of existence and the universe. In this not knowing, intuition and wisdom have room to arise. By releasing the need for absolute certainty, you create space for deeper understanding and authentic connection with the present moment, allowing you to navigate life with greater clarity, flexibility and inner peace.

True meditation and awakening begin with your inner self. A crucial yet often overlooked aspect of meditation, awakening, or attunement, is self-awareness. Without understanding your thoughts, emotions, reactions, concerns, and desires, inner harmony will remain elusive or always out of reach. These practices inevitably amplify your inner energies, which, without self-awareness, can exacerbate existing emotions, anxieties, and reactions. This lack of self-understanding can lead to misplaced blame; when in reality, the challenges arise from within, triggered by these amplified energies, revealing previously hidden aspects of yourself. Knowing yourself and cultivating self-awareness allows you to confront these challenges with clarity and prevents the trap of blaming others for struggles that arise from within. Enabling you to achieve a more authentic awakening.

Your thoughts are constantly shaped by reality TV, social media, and influencers, but are your thoughts truly your own? These external influences bombard you with messages that can easily infiltrate your thinking if you don’t actively question their validity. Accepting these external narratives without critical thought can lead to reactive behaviours based on manufactured realities rather than your own authentic experiences. By consciously choosing not to passively absorb these influences, you reclaim control of your thoughts and become the influencer of your own life, living with greater authenticity, truthfulness, and a stronger sense of self. Break free from social conditioning and think for yourself; because real freedom starts in your mind.

Have you ever paused amidst the frenzy of daily life, only to catch the faint echo of a thought seemingly emanating from the depths of your being or the back of your mind? It can be a subtle whisper, almost lost in the background chatter of your mind, yet it seems to carry a profound weight, a hint of something far deeper than the fleeting thoughts of everyday existence.  You may consider that it is a guiding voice, your inner consciousness. Perhaps it is the mythical Jiminy Cricket or a celestial guiding angel.

This voice, this gentle murmur from the back of your head, is not the tirade of your ego, nor the echoes of past experiences. It is the whisper of your Life Force Mind, a realm of pure consciousness that lies at the core of your being.  

Unlike the thoughts that arise from the surface of consciousness perpetually engaged in the ebb and flow of daily life, the Life Force Mind operates from a deeper conscious level. Freed from the weight of daily distractions and reactive emotions, your Life Force Mind can provide a unique outlook on your life.  Less burdened by the limitations of the everyday mind, it offers a clearer perspective, a vantage point from which to discern the essence of who you truly are. This hidden sanctuary is a reservoir of self-awareness, understanding and knowledge of the domain we all inhabit.

The thoughts that arise from this inner sanctum of your Life Force Mind are not mere reflections of external stimuli; they are the expressions of your deepest wisdom, a distillation of the innate knowledge that resides within you. When you pause and listen to these subtle whispers, you open yourself to a wellspring of guidance, a source of clarity that can illuminate your life.  Your Life Force Mind is a powerful mental domain which provides a doorway to cognitive powers of your inner self, the true you.

Illumement as the path to inner knowledge encapsulates the journey of seeking enlightenment and clarity within, transcending the external distractions of the world to connect with the innermost aspects of your being, your Life Force.

Rooted in the idea that true wisdom is found not in external sources but within, Illumement requires that you embark on a transformative exploration of the self. To understand illumement is to understand creation, its energies and your place within creation as an energy being.

The essence of Illumement lies in the process of shedding light on the shadows of the mind, allowing you to unveil the hidden layers of thoughts, emotions, and beliefs. It involves practices such as introspection and meditation to help bring calmness, clarity and mastery within your mind. It is an important and regularly overlooked aspect of awakening as many people rush towards the proverbial end goal. However, you must learn to bring calmness and quietness to your mind, otherwise, as the energies of your Life Force awaken, these energies can ignite many emotions hidden deep within yourself.

Illumement is not a destination, but a continuous evolution and awakening of your inner self as you peel back the layers of conditioning, societal expectations, and egoic constructs. It encourages the integration of mind, body, and spirit (Life Force), fostering a harmonious connection with the true self. As you continue on the pathway of inner knowledge, the light of your Life Force shines progressively more into your mind.

Through higher states of illumement, you can experience the realities of the energies which exist within you and around you. The complexities and reality of the world around you can be more fully appreciated and understood, as these aspects of inner knowledge become accessible through the increasing awakening of your Life Force and an ever calm and quietened mind.

The concept of Life Force energy is both an ancient and universal principle permeating various spiritual and healing traditions. Also known as Prana, Chi, Soul or Qi, Life Force energy is considered the vital essence that animates all living things. The flow of this energy through your being is for maintaining health and vitality. There are many practices such as yoga, Tai Chi, and Qi gong are designed to enhance the flow of this vital energy, promoting a sense of harmony and balance within.

In understanding life force energy, you can embark on a journey toward holistic well-being. Realise that your existence is not merely a collection of physical processes but a dance of energies that extend beyond the boundaries of the material world.

By honouring and nurturing this vital essence, you open yourselves to the possibilities of improved health, heightened consciousness, and harmonious integration with the abundant energy that surrounds us. However, it is important to take a holistic approach to fully appreciate the range and effect of the energy of the inner Life Force; for without appropriate understanding of the energies of the Life Force and the mechanism in which it is contained, can result in imbalances or other issues.

The concept of karmic threads weaves a narrative of interconnectedness that transcends time and space. Rooted in Eastern philosophies, karmic threads are built on the basis that every action, thought, and intention sets in motion a series of interwoven threads, creating a complex web that influences the course of our lives. Recognising that your present circumstances are not isolated incidents, but rather the outcomes of the intricate weaving of past thoughts, actions, and intentions into the tapestry of life.

The underlying principle of karmic threads is that of cause and effect, suggesting that the choices you have made reverberate through the fabric of your life and extend into the lives of others around you. By understanding the interconnected nature of your actions, it is possible to gain a small insight into the intricate dance of fate and free will. If you allow it, your awareness of these karmic threads can become a guiding force, inviting you to be more readily mindful and intentional in all aspects of your daily life. Weave threads which will benefit yourself and others, rather than creating threads which will disrupt the fabric of the world around you.

Karmic threads are also a reminder of the potential for growth and transformation. As you navigate the twists and turns of life, you encounter threads woven by yourself and the universe. Through conscious choices, you have the power to determine how to react to the karmic threads. You can choose to mend and strengthen the threads that bind us, fostering a tapestry of greater harmony and understanding. In embracing this philosophy of karmic threads, you embark on a lifetime journey of responsibility and empowerment, acknowledging the interconnectedness of all life and your role as active participants in shaping its unfolding narrative.

The location of the Moon and planets in a constellation at the time of your birth is part of your astrological programming or key code. The Moon and planets within our Solar System have an established and prescribed energy and influence, which are inscribed with positive as well as negative facets. They are the regulating forces of every little thing which takes place within our material continuance.

 Understanding the small nuances that these celestial objects can influence, is the key to understanding the diverse nature of human astrological key codes. The richness of the variability of energy patterns helps you to better understand why very few individuals will react or think the same way.

The Moon and planets of the Solar System also provide keys to bring about changes in your ways of thinking and reactions. The Moon magnifies your emotions through the strong magnetic energies it exerts upon the Earth. Mercury strongly influences the mind. Its location at your time of birth imprints patterns on how your mind will operate. Venus strongly implants the patterns of emotional reactions within your psyche. Mars for the basis of your attitude to life, your drive and motivation and rules your personality, often being your own mirror. Jupiter has a strong governing aspect in your life, your material progress and your well-being. Saturn regulates the deep-seated or subconscious aspects of your way of thinking and can provide one of the biggest challenges through its amplification of karma. The outer planets and bodies of the Solar System including Uranus and Neptune, are the driving force behind the inner planets; whereas Pluto (although now no longer recognised as a planet by the IAU) is to higher inner evolution.

Meditation is a practice that has been around for centuries for many good reasons. It is a powerful tool for reducing stress, improving focus, enhancing your well-being and unlocking your spiritual awakening. While there are many different forms of meditation, one aspect which can be overlooked or conversely overemphasised is the use of sound.

The application of sounds during your meditation, whether natural or intentionally generated, has the potential to boost or enhance the meditative state through several key aspects. The harmonious melodies of nature, the soft cadence of chanting, or a gentle rhythm, can all serve as powerful catalysts for a meditative experience that surpasses the ordinary.

As you start to practice meditation, you may find that your mind teems with thoughts and distractions, which hinders your ability to properly meditate. The use of wisely chosen sounds of nature, such as flowing water, rustling leaves, or bird songs, can act as harmonious companions during meditation. These sounds, often associated with serenity, create a backdrop that eases the mind into a state of relaxation. By immersing yourself in the gentle cadence of these natural sounds, helps to keep you focused, so the chatter of the mind does not disrupt your meditation.

Secondly, sound can be used to help directly induce a meditative state by calming the mind and nervous system. Certain types of sounds, such as binaural beats and white noise, have been shown to have a calming effect on the nervous system. Additionally, the application of a rhythmic pulse of binaural beats can, for some people, create a sense of synchronisation and harmony between the left and right hemispheres of the brain. Through the application of these sounds, you may be able to more easily enter a meditative state due to a harmonised mind and relaxed nervous system.

Thirdly, the use of sounds, such as the resonant tones of chimes, gongs, singing bowls and the like, can be applied as intentional tools for meditation focus. These sounds, carefully chosen for their vibrational qualities, can be used to anchor the focus of your mind. The rhythmic repetition of sounds can help synchronise your awareness to your breath, creating what some describe as a cohesive and meditative experience. By attuning to these intentionally created sounds, you can help focus your mind to cultivate a heightened sense of presence, allowing the mind to settle into a tranquil state conducive to deeper meditation.

If you are looking for a way to kick-start or boost your meditation practice explore the many different applications of sound. There are many different types of sounds, including silence which can be used in meditation. Find one that works best for you. Once you become more proficient at meditation, you will likely find you no longer need the use of sound to boost your meditation.

The use of mantras has been a part of many spiritual traditions for thousands of years. Mantras are sounds, words or phrases that are repeated over and over again during meditation or other spiritual practices.

The use of mantras can calm the mind primarily by focusing your thoughts. It is this ability to focus your thoughts which is the real power of Mantras, as it allows you to overcome some of the distractions which your mind generates. The sound vibrations of the mantras can resonate with different energies within the human energy mechanism, to promote a greater sense of balance and harmony, and promote a sense of peace and inner tranquillity.

Different mantras are associated with different benefits or intentions and are often chosen based on the individual’s spiritual beliefs and goals. For example, the mantra “Om” is often used to promote a sense of unity and connection with the universe and is commonly used in many different spiritual practices.

The use of mantras can be a powerful tool for spiritual growth and self-discovery. They can help you to deepen your connection to your inner self and the universe.

An important aspect of some meditative practices relates to achieving a nothingness or emptiness within. Vacuus and Suyna are terms with their roots in Buddhist and Taoist philosophy referring to a state of emptiness or nothingness, but with slightly different nuances. While these aspects can be described and used separately, both practices relate to achieving a nothingness or emptiness within. Vacuus and Suyna can be used together for greater effectiveness, allowing a more transformational state of being.

In Latin the term Vacuus rather simply means empty, emptiness or void, that being the lack of substance. In Buddhist philosophy, Vacuus refers to the emptiness or lack of existence of all phenomena. This emptiness or lack of substances, sometimes referred to as the void is seen as the ultimate nature of reality. Some people may spend a significant amount of time meditating just on this one aspect of creation, becoming Vacuus.

Sunya on the other hand is a Sanskrit term that means emptiness but with a slightly different context where zero (or nothingness) is the source of everything. In Taoist philosophy, Sunya refers to the emptiness of the universe, which is seen as the source of all creation. This emptiness is importantly not empty as one may think, but rather the potentiality which exists within the void and the potential which lies within all of us.

When both Vacuus and Sunya are used in concert, they both harmonise to focus your meditation on the importance of cultivating a sense of openness and a true emptiness with the mind. There is much which can be learnt through the simple practice of bringing the ultimate emptiness within your mind and your entire being during any meditation or mindfulness practices. In the activity KIA0006 Vacuus And Sunya you then realise why directives and these aspects are important steps on the pathway to Cognition.

We all strive to bring some meaning to our journey through life and our daily living. As you continue your journey, no matter where that may lead, allow harmlessness to be your constant companion in life. Your true harmlessness works through right thought and speech, governed by self-control, which manifests into right action.

As your companion, harmlessness can lead to a better you. One in which you can experience a higher expression of yourself in your everyday life. As you do, you will find your own life journey to become more meaningful.

Usually each of us does not have issues with thinking or expressing what would be identified as positive thoughts or emotions. Unfortunately, it is a normal human response to avoid or wish to bury difficult emotions, and even in some cases those which might seem to be neutral but have become taboo as a result of societal norms. Sequestering your emotions and thoughts can be an appropriate way of managing them from a mental mind standpoint. These subdued emotions will normally not create problems when you undertake mindfulness or basic meditation, as the power of your mind can maintain them metaphorically under control. Even if these concealed thoughts or emotions are not leading to problems, be aware that you have pushed them aside. Suppressing an emotion does not admonish an emotion. The emotion still exists within you, secreted in the background of your mind and subconscious. So for your own wellbeing, you should take the opportunity to understand them whenever the time is right.

The state of affairs changes considerably when you start on the pathway to the awakening of your inner light. It is very important to know that suppressing or subduing thoughts and emotions, especially the unfavourable ones, can be perilous as you advance on your journey of attunement or advanced meditation. As you progress with your meditation techniques, increasing levels of the power of your Life Force enlivens your form. These energies flow into all parts of your being from the energy centres and along the meridians. As these energies circulate throughout the human mechanism, their increased energy can activate thoughts or emotions which have been hidden, and may have laid dormant for years or even numerous lifetimes in the body’s think centres and chakras. When these energies trigger one of these suppressed thoughts or emotions, the intensity of that thought or emotion will be increased as a result of the greater energy levels from your awakening. Hopefully, you can now comprehend why it is so necessary to know yourself, to be aware of and understand all of your thoughts and emotions, even those which you might not wish to deal with.

We are all part of the Universal Force which binds the galaxy together, and preserves the structure of the Universe as we know it. As Life Force beings, we are the individual components of the Universal Force, in much the same way that stars form part of a galaxy. Our Life Force energies are the component of the Universal Force which is unique to each one of us, and are what some consider the spirit or soul. As we reside on this physical plane of existence, within each and every one of us as human beings resides the Spark of Life, which is the true unemotional part within you. It is the creative principle of the cosmos within you to enliven you within this material existence.

The Spark of Life is an important part of you. It not only binds your Life Force to this physical existence, it importantly is the key which allows you to tap into the creative component of the Universal Force within you. For those individuals who step onto the path of knowledge, the Spark of Life can be very beneficial. Through right thoughts, you can leverage the potential of the Spark of Life to raise into higher states of understanding and awareness.
