![]() ![]() If the cosmos is a unitary field of matter whose numeric value is One, then consciousness is also a unitary field of Mind that is One in number. In fact, the whole phenomenon of consciousness will baffle you until you see Mind as the function of the body, and the body as the form of the Mind. Your senses will still trick you and report the moving forms without considering the intelligence expressed by their motion. ![]() If you are still and quiet enough, you will hear the soft hum of the music to which they sway. Your senses channel your perception of reality into the simplest picture you need in order to be what you are, and human senses are fine tuned to perceive form, leaving function to be inferred.īut you will see the larger parts of the body in motion and recognize the patterns of the Dance. The communication between energetic patterns occurs at far too fine a level to be perceptible, or else your perception of form would be overwhelmed by flux, yielding no details. Its function -the Dance of interaction between aspects of the Dancer- will not. Only form, the Dancer, will register to your senses. Indeed- the universe is the Dancer, and consciousness is the Dance. This means that what God is and what God does are two concepts expressing the exact same thing. It has been observed that God is both the dancer and the dance. The mind of God is the function of the whole energetic field- its interaction with itself through the communication between its patterns. The body of God is the form taken by the whole field of energetic patterns. They are not two separate things there is not a body ‘here’ and a mind ‘there.’ They are two ways of seeing the single manifestation of God, similar to form and function. Just as the universe is the body of God, consciousness is the mind of God. One major change I made in terminology, for reason of its straight-forward and self-explanatory translation, is “the King” becomes “God.” I thought there would be others, but in every other case a footnote seemed more appropriate. The full context of this idea –including an exploration of the inherent problem we face due to the self-consciousness of cognizance, and how we resolve it by going beyond the fourth stage– really needs the whole story to be told, so this is just a teaser-appetizer, not meant to be comprehensive in any way. Note: the following material is grafted mostly word-for-word from a long section of monologue in Chapter IV of “The Peasant and the King.” I consider it more of an extract than an excerpt, for I did take out all the elements that put it in the context of the story with characters speaking and listening respectively. ![]()
