First, I would like to sincerely extend my best wishes for peace profound to each of my readers. Every writer hopes that his or her prose will be of use to at least one sincere seeker of Life, Light, and Love!
Having briefly introduced type I and type II realities, particularly as to the ever-vacillating facets of personal awareness, we have sufficient information to initialize discussion of type III, or conscious reality.
The human experience of pure conscious reality (the 5Q+1), by necessity, can only be expressed when delivered through the unadorned ergoegotic center of the brain-mind unit. The term, unadorned, signifying observing of ones environment (inner or outer) directly and without overlaying an existing ego state or persona. One needs to understand that the ergoegotic center is not the individual self or true personality, but simply the doorway or apparatus allowing the mind-brain to choose to experience pure conscious reality so to function in type III reality.
In persons living solely in type I and II realities, the ergoegotic center is rarely experienced unadorned; for socialization assures each child of the existence of an individual (and presumed immortal) self, an inner owner and doer, who has introjected a large number of social roles, personas, useful for social life. Subsequently, conscious reality is prevented access to the adult.
Legitimately, the reader might query, “If the ergoegotic center is not the true or actual self, not the soul personality, and no more than an apparatus for merging pure consciousness with type II reality; then, I am honestly confused as to spiritual effort.”
The simplest answer is that the true self or soul personality is not ‘something’ given to us by God or by Grace; rather, it is a state of being consciously birthed and developed by an individual’s thoughtful utilization of the unadorned ergoegotic center (allowing social roles to be seen for what they are, in truth, no more than personas useful for the mundane). In other words, the true self is born in type III reality.
It is a fair doctrine, for each man and woman is permitted to choose to remain in type II reality or Work to develop type III reality. Pure consciousness never forces!
Though, but, one hypothesis, the simplest formulation to cast, as to the intrinsic nature of the true self, is to imagine that it is a unique pattern born and strengthened via hard Work using type III reality. A pattern held in pure consciousness.
There is much more to say, but, such must wait for a latter blog. However, Work Exercises exist to introduce and stabilize you to type III reality.
