THE
SUTRAS OF AWAKENING
By
David Barrett-Murrer
_______________________________________________
THE
SUTRA OF BEING
The body,
the world and thought are transient.
They came
into being and they go out.
But that
which perceives body, world and thought
is
eternal and the true nature of every being.
_______________________________________________
What
we perceive as the
objective world
is
a phenomenal reality
of the energy world
in
which we actually
exist and have our being.
The
objective world is
not an illusion
yet
it is still a
phenomenal existence.
Phenomenally,
as if from
nothing
objective
existence came
into being.
What
a wondrous mystery
is Life.
_______________________________________________
THE
SUTRAS OF BECOMING
THE
COSMOS
(SUTRAS
0-3)
(0)
The cosmos is a vast incomprehensible LIFE-FIELD
wherein
all that is - is.
(1)
Our sun,
within the body of its solar system,
has
evolved the planets as centres of objective activity.
(2)
The earth, within its sphere of activity, has evolved
the
mineral, vegetable, animal and human kingdoms
as stages
in the planet's unfoldment.
(3)
Nature is
the intelligent, impelling Will behind this unfoldment.
And it is
presently driving man to appropriate the next kingdom
(in this
evolutionary play) that is arrived at by the Awakened Mind.
_______________________________________________
CONSCIOUSNESS
(SUTRAS
4-10)
(4)
The
evolution of man is the evolution of mind
via the
thinking principle
as it is
developed through the lower states.
(5)
Primitive
states of mind are occupied with instincts.
(6)
Emotive
states of mind are occupied with things.
(7)
Average
states of mind are occupied with people.
(8)
Higher
states of mind are occupied with ideas.
(9)
Unified
states of mind are receptive to pure reason.
(10)
While the
Awakened Mind is beyond the threshold of thought
and no
longer preoccupied with the lower human states.
_______________________________________________
PROBING
(SUTRAS
11-22)
(11)
In the
process of awakening, the thinking principle
is
constantly fluctuating within and between the lower states.
(12)
Interests
and concerns are the cause of these fluctuations.
What are
you interested in or concerned with:
yourself, things, people, ideas - God?
(13)
Discover
that each fluctuation reveals something about yourself.
Then
review your past, your memories and learn of the Way of Life.
(14)
When the
primary field of livingness is,
then see
how even this serene state of mind can be disturbed
and how a
disturbed state of mind can become serene.
(15)
Cultivate
a loving attitude; apply it to everyone including yourself,
then
unify that love to include the Greater Being in Whom we all
exist.
Finally lose yourself in the magnetic energy of Universal Love.
(This is the Way of
the Heart)
(16)
Knowledge
of the greater view and the teaching that frees
give
structure to the possibility of a unified mind.
As
knowledge becomes wisdom this unity becomes established
and
the
mind becomes unlimited.
(This is the Way of
the Mind)
(17)
Living
in
the immediacy of being in the Eternal Now
quickens spiritual awakening.
(This is the Way of
Life)
(18)
Meditate by setting aside
a time each day
to quietly sit, ponder,
reflect, observe, listen and love.
Thus are
the Lulls, the Soundless Sound
and the mystery of Intent revealed.
(19)
Discover
the mystery of sleep and know dreamtime
as a
reality greater than physical being.
(20)
Discover
the dynamic potency of harmlessness
in what
you think, say and do.
(21)
Discover
the existence of etheric space
and know
that you are part of everything.
And the
sky at night is filled with light.
Here is
found the truth that objective existence
is a
phenomenal reality.
(22)
Remember all that
anyone can do for others is
to inspire them to know,
to love and to just-be.
For it is
yourself that you are discovering
and
nobody can do this for you.
_______________________________________________
KARMA
(SUTRAS
23-26)
(23)
Since all
activity is karmic
then
every thought, word and deed
(good,
bad or indifferent) returns to us.
(24)
If you
understand this unerring law of karma
you will
acquire a natural balance
and your self inflicted
suffering will cease.
(25)
The full
understanding is that we have free-will under karmic law.
(26)
Thus do
we learn the balanced way of the razor's edge,
and the
mystery of invocation/evocation of energies.
_______________________________________________
THE
HARMONY OF FREEDOM
(SUTRAS
27-30)
(27)
From
natural balance the Spirit of Freedom is caught.
(28)
This
harmony is always there
but we
are usually too preoccupied with ourselves to realise it.
(29)
Without
the awareness of this inner harmony
we lose
our way and try to impose an external harmony
within
our preoccupations.
(30)
This
inner harmony cannot be imposed,
like the
Spirit of Freedom - it simply is.
_______________________________________________
THE
MYSTERIES AND BEYOND
(SUTRAS
31-34)
(31)
The mysteries expand consciousness
by
constructing a larger more comprehensive
view of
existence.
(32)
The
greater our view the deeper the mind,
here are
found the truths of the One Life,
evolution, man, karma, rebirth, freedom
and the
mystery of the many (in reality countless)
Life-Fields
vast and minute.
(33)
The
Mysteries bridge the abyss in our understanding
between
the known and the unknown;
until the
Mysteries are finally lost in the unknowable.
(34)
Understanding
brings you to a point,
beyond
that there is no you
there is
only Life (your divine energy).
_______________________________________________
THE
UNIVERSAL FRIEND
(SUTRAS
35-38)
(35)
The
nature of the Questing Soul is cosmic
and
through man it will spiritualise humanity
and the
sub-human evolutions.
(36)
Holistic guidance is a principle in life.
It is the
energy of inspiration lovingly applied.
This
energy does not come from us but through us.
We only
add, from our understanding great or small,
the
influence to heal.
(37)
Holistic
guidance comes from the intensity of the Turning Point.
Which
means that the central focus of one's being is Questing Life
and all
else (family, friends, work, etc.) is secondary.
(38)
The three
aspects of Questing Life are:
The Way
of the Heart (love);
The Way
of the Mind (wisdom);
The
Way of Life in the Eternal Now
(that is
living in the immediacy of being).
_______________________________________________
THE
TURNING POINT
Re-polarisation
(SUTRAS
39-43)
.(39) The
Sutra of Being
The body,
the world and thought are transient.
They came
into being and they go out.
But that
which perceives body, world and thought
is
eternal and the true nature of every being.
.(40) The
Key
That
which perceives is the Eye of the Divine Self
Whose
emanations create the primary field of livingness
and
manifest the evolving activity within that field.
.(41) Catching
the Edge
In the
immediacy of perceiving, knowing, feeling and being,
discover
the Edge and know the technique of the Masters.
Ever new
is the energy of Life.
.(42) The
Silent Probe
By seeing
the essence,
that is a
movement and a rest,
does the
seamless fluctuations harmonise.
Monadic Fire is the destroyer of self and worlds.
Indescribable is the freedom of Monadic Consciousness.
.(43) Reaching
the Source
One
cannot reach the Source.
There is
no technique.
The
Source simply reveals itself,
then
nothing remains but the Source.
Returning
is as much of a mystery
as is the
revealing of the Source.
The mind
cannot comprehend these mysteries.
