Authentic Self-Realization Is Not FOR The Person, It Is Freedom FROM The Person
The borderline state between knowing and not knowing is your true seat of power. It is the state between Turiya and the pristine, Childlike state of beingness. It is not the power of an individual however.
One can never encapsulate in its immensity of expression the pure natural state into a being or individual personality by means of will, coercion or force. But left to its own intelligence and spontaneous nature, once surrendered to, will perfectly express itself through the individual but never as a person.
Universal higher-consciousness has certain built-in safeguards into its functioning and operation. This higher consciousness has its own set of boundaries of expression and access. The highest spiritual states of embodied self-realization can never be operated in fully and to proper effect by those who lack true humility and right understanding.
In the story of Lucifer the angel this principle of access operation was demonstrated perfectly. Vanity, selfishness, the desire for adoration, and the ultimate, miserably failed attempt to usurp Godhead status as an individualized angel resulted in one of the most overlooked and misunderstood failed spiritual coups that ever occurred.
When Christ said things like, ‘Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God,’ ‘Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven,’ this was the universal consciousness check and balances that he was referring to.”
