It is vital for humans to enter the present state of consciousness. This state in us wants to emerge. If it didn't want to emerge, the status of consciousness would remain the same and there's just nothing we would be able to do. Some ask in relation to becoming more aware and enlightened if it is more of a being than doing. The answer is yes and no. To totally say yes to now one could almost say is an "undoing." Everything else is doing.
I remind people to be aware of one thing. That is that the planet has suffered due to human consciousness from having suffered at the disfunction of the human collective mind for thousands of years. There's an accumulation on the planet of pain, the heavy negative energy field that was and is created by humans. A field of pain in the collective of the planet. That is often something that will emerge inside of you, a pain body. There's past pain that lives in you from your childhood and parents, what they did or didn't do. Then there's the present pain you're unconsciously causing and future pain that does not and will not ever exist until the present.
Humans carry their share of the collective pain, emotional pain, which is no more than contracted life energy through an egoic delusion. This is something you need to recognize otherwise it can obscure your practice of uncompromising yes to what is and will many times obscure the arising of consciousness, if you do not recognize it. The pain bodies that humans carry is their share of human pain. Residues of pain you have suffered and pain that the whole of humanity has suffered. That field of pain is also known as a pain body.
It may be that some of the pain bodies have a strong vibration of anger. Others may have the vibrations of great fear. Some have the vibrations of depression or anxiety. Whatever your predominant pain body is inside of you is a part of the human collective pain. This you will have to keep a close eye on because the collective has two stages. Stage one being dormant and stage two being active. When it is dormant, you may feel not so bad. There's still egoic sensing and searching, but you can live with that. Then the pain body becomes active. It needs to become active because it needs to take in more "food" a.k.a. more pain.
It needs the experience of further pain. You'll see in your life when a little trigger turns to a form of a thought, someone saying something or something going wrong, brings up suddenly an enormous amount of emotional pain. That emotional pain whether sadness or anger, moves into the mind and without knowing it controls your thinking. Your thinking then reflects the inner energy field of the pain body.
Angry thoughts, sad thoughts, depressed thoughts, every thought feeds the pain body. Your thought is an energy form. The pain body loves it and it loves to run your mind. When your pain body is active, it may last a few hours to a few days. The excessive mental noise that we are trapped in is bad enough when the pain body is not there amplifying it-the incessive mental noise we are trapped in is of unbearable heaviness or unbearable fear.
Then it will feed on other people. When the pain body obsesses over you, it will try others also. It gives you enough pain to maybe provoke someone and some drama of a relationship so you can get the feedback of pain. You could call the pain body an addiction to pain in human beings. When that is operating, you do not know what you are doing. You are simply at the mercy of an unconscious movement needing to express human pain.
Pain flows into the mind and amplifies the story of "me" which becomes very unhappy. A very unhappy story, a very unhappy self. It makes the sense of self very heavy. However, in egoic delusion, even that the ego likes because the pain ego is a very strong ego. It's looking to make someone unhappy. It usually succeeds. Once it has taken enough food, emotion, close to you, it subsides and you feel a little bit better. A few days to weeks later it comes back again. Here the uncompromising yes will very often apply not so much to what arises externally, but also what's going on internally now.
Sometimes what arises inside of you is a pain movement. A certain degree of alertness is needed so that the deeply conditioned very old movement does not overpower you or your thoughts again and you become it- forced to act it out until it leaves you for a little while. It's still there, but becomes dormant to digest it's food, so to speak.
Remember
Alertness is needed. You can watch the arising of the pain body as it happens directly so it cannot use your mind. Just watch it. It is and you allow it to be. You allow the form this moment takes to be.
