Objective: The reader will acquire a working definition of levels of C/consciousness as used in OT/MP

These Dialogues amount to the same process of Homer's Odyssey, a Spiritual journey.  It is one that begins in Spiritual realms, but plays ot in the physical world of sensate experiences.  From a time of unchallenged and delightful peace (womb of Cosmic Consciousness,) but which is abruptly shattered with one's birth into "sin," i.e., the physical world of mental consciousness. Consequently, there arises the necessity of a "journey" to recover and restore our consciousness of our Spiritual Wholeness. (Note that this process has political implications for our society.) However, if we are ignorant of Spiritual Truth, we will follow the mind's illusions to their ultimate expression of error which can produce emptiness or evil. Today, the literal presence of the "evil beast," a metaphor for our ego driven desires within, can be expressed at the society level by another metaphor, the power monger. The evidence put forward by the contemporary world of social criticism already show us the ugly presence of this beast in our reality. But while the public remains distracted, little official heed has been paid to the warnings of the few who detect this danger. We must successfully encounter this beast to return "home" (our Spiritually pure state.)

As did Homer's Odysseus, we must call upon our noble virtues, especially the virtues of discipline and courage as may be required to serve our innate Spiritual Truth. You learn the process and Cosmic mechanism that assures the perpetrator of any evil action will eventually find their way to perfectly patient, perfect justice. This model of perfect justice will be explained in Dialogue 6 by a now scientifically defensible paradigm of Reincarnation and Karma (cycles of cause and effect.) As reward for courage and an effective struggle, the successful sojourner emerges purified into Wholeness which is the light of Love. LOVE is ultimately experienced as Unity or perfect WHOLENESS, the only perfect antidote for an anguished humanity. But the legitimate point of such hopeful statements as, "What the world need now is love sweet love" will remain sentimental delusion until a sufficient number of earth-trapped human Souls brings Love alive during their own Odysseys. Sartre has said that, "Hell--is other people." But in this Paradigm, hell is entirely ourselves, our thoughts--but so also is heaven.

Our thoughts are embedded in and must relate to an embracing SuperConsciousness of Spiritual Energy and Intelligence even though they are of our own creation and exist within us. Our thoughts announce their presence, floating into our consciousness in response to our perceptions and the nature of our feelings they have learned at the hands of experience. When our thoughts are disconnected from the larger Spiritual Intelligence, life to the Spiritually empty becomes a journey through the literal hell created by their limited and thus confused and fearful mind. The antidote to this hell is to find the key, our personal key, to illuminating our own Spiritual Consciousness. The success of our national agenda, and even the future of humanity depends on enough of our humanity quickly finding this Spiritual Key. In undertaking this Odyssey, we proceed in succession with a line of Mystical succession of well known and unknown personages who have been the custodians of these Mystical Truths since the beginning of human C/consciousness. A partial listing of some better known names is accessible at the conclusion of this Subpage.

Believe it or not, as a requirement of our birth, we are condemned to undertake this Odyssey. Many never discover they are even on such a journey! The Mystical Paradigm holds that the root or generative force creating all of our national problems is a widespread absence of Spiritual Consciousness. Many believe that because they go to church regularly they assume they have taken care of this for themselves. In Reality, given the Spiritual impoverishment afflicting many religious institutions, such an assumption may be seriously mistaken. Outrageous? What to do? You will be able to answer such questions for yourself as you progress through these Dialogues.

How C/consciousness Functions: Evidence of Differing Levels of C/consciousness:
You already have a useful definition of the mental or intellectual level of consciousness from simply living daily life. But you may not have recognized particular experiences as being related to the conditions of either "unconsciousness" or "outside of consciousness." See how I match the following as to the kind of C/consciousness applicable to various kinds of experiences:

A. I lost my way to grandmother's house even though I had been there before. The "way to grandmother's house" resides in the unconsciousness and could not be adequately accessed.

B. Somebody wants me to take them to Los Gringos, New Mexico, but I have never even heard of it. This concept of Los Gringos is outside of my consciousness. There is no way I can relate to it productively. However, "New Mexico" is in the consciousness of most people in a variety of different awareness. But It can relate to it only insofar as its dimensions are already a part of my consciousness. Then I will create an expectation of Los Gringos based upon my stereotype of New Mexico as exists in my consciousness.

C. No example can be given of CONSCIOUSNESS because no human intelligence system can relate to IT, even at the SuperOrdinate System level, i.e., the level of the SuperConsciousness.

D. Could you identify and describe a garment that was being worn if it were constructed of nylon slub yarn, double knitted (as opposed to a twill weave) and calendered with an embossed finish. While its aesthetic qualities may be immediately apparent to you in terms of your values, can you also evaluate this garment in terms of its comfort, serviceability and durability compared to other fiber, yarn, weave and finishing options? Unless you have heavily invested your time into the reality and language of textiles science, this evaluative experience will be "out of consciousness" for you. Your judgments in serving your Real Needs in selecting optimum textile products will be compromised. This idea is clear in the trivial example given. But consider the role of your consciousness regarding your judgments made in the complex dimensions of human social interaction. Here are some examples.

E. The college students fell in love and got married. But when they completed school they fell out of love, divorced and went their separate ways, both greatly wounded emotionally. This is an example of how Reality factors relevant to the long term viability of their relationship were outside the respective consciousness of the lovers. This is an example of how a Spiritually illuminated Consciousness could have made those essential Reality dimensions accessible to their conscious minds, thus sparing them later disappointment and heartache.

F. Joe/Mary invested a great deal of themselves in an employment situation, but after 20 years of service, they were both stunned to be precipitously let go in spite of having maintained a record of excellence in their respective work. This is an example of factors in the Reality of their workplace which were not in their consciousness, and which would have allowed them to leave in time to avoid being fired, and in terms of their own needs and convenience. That capacity (attainment of SuperConsciousness awareness) for them to enter into the SuperOrdinate realm could have revealed the "missing" (from their consciousness) information to which the workers were oblivious and thus became victims.

G. A student (or engineer, scientist, planner) is working on the solution to a technical problem which has eluded her/him for many weeks. Suddenly, in a moment of inattention and relaxation, the "solution" arrives full blown and complete into their mind. This is an example of how information resident in the SuperConsciousness can enter into normal mental consciousness. The terms, "insight," creativity," the "Ah! Ha! experience," "serendipity," and even "luck" are often used to explain this Spiritual phenomenon. But such special insights need not be a random happy event, but one that can be developed by understanding the Principles that underlies the MP, and practicing the techniques that develop this capacity for insight.
