The Path Towards A New Consciousness
The Path Towards A New Consciousness
Instincts, intuition and consciousness mingle, while life presents him with the
consequences of his seeking. As a general rule, over time these consequences prove
to be lacking; they fail to satisfy a deep inner need, even when this need is still not
fully understood.
He begins to suspect that the answers to the impulse for fulfilment are of another
kind. Everything that previously was so full of promise loses its lustre, and his
interests shift to understanding the essence and nature of the longing itself.
The emptiness within, the once misunderstood discomfort, takes on a deeper meaning
and is recognised as a spiritual calling, a mandate for the realisation of something
radically different from anything accomplished previously. So different that it can be
described as a transcendent longing.
Where can this impulse take you in this world marked by alternations and relativity?
How can he accomplish anything as high as that which this inner voice speaks of?
Would he be worthy or even capable of achieving it?
Just as his consciousness is fully engaged in this search for answers, so glimpses of
the path come to him. His consciousness experiences flashed of illumination,
sometimes clear, sometimes more elusive and vague, but all pointing him in a certain
direction. These experiences also bring him into contact with others, who like him, are
also searching for answers.
The seeker eventually finds a spiritual school where he receives the help of a
community committed to making the inner change necessary for his transcendent
vocation. He finally perceives the path under his feet and can now take firm steps,
accompanied by countless others, with the inner certainty of a single objective: to be
transformed in order to transcend.
