THE IMPORTANCE OF STUDYING THE COSMIC LAWS

(PART 8)

VICO'S LAW OF RICORSI

1) To recur, to return upon the start of itself; to be cyclical.

2) "Ricorsi" is the pure form of reflection; the turning or bending back of mind upon itself.

This Awareness indicates that essentially there is that which IS, and that which IS is essence; but until essence recognizes itself in reflection of something other than itself, it essentially has no being of its own. For as is said in the Koans of the Zen teachings: if a sound occurs and no one is there to hear the sound, then essentially there was no sound occurring. This Awareness indicates that if in essence something IS, but if it cannot even recognize its own essence by reflecting upon itself; then essentially it has no essence of being.

This Awareness indicates that mind, however,- the essence of Akasha - is such that it can reflect, and this is known as the will of God, - the creative action. The creation of the universe occurred when Akasha reflected upon itself and recognized itself in its reflection. This Awareness indicates that this became the first polarity: that which IS and that which is observed.

This Awareness indicates this may be also be referred to as the duality system, or the first duality, the first separateness, the first separation, the separation of light from darkness, the separation of the waters.

This Awareness indicates that until there is a being which recognizes and acknowledges an existence, there is no possible way of conceiving that anything has been manifested or created. This Awareness indicates that until there is a being which recognizes an existence, there is no possible way for the recognition of existence or creation to be.

This Awareness indicates that in a Universe of pure presence, of pure beingness without any form of separation or observation apart from that experimental action of purely being, without a part which can move or step aside and look back at itself and say:
"I am," without a part which can step aside and look and say: "I am," without a part which can step aside and look and say, "It is," without such a part there is no possible way in which the conception, the idea, the belief can occur which allows that portion of itself to recognize its existence.

This Awareness indicates that before the beginning there was a Being. After the beginning, the Being continued and continues eternally, even today and in the eternal future. This Awareness indicates the only action which occurred in terms of the manifested creation was an action whereby a portion of that Being separated Itself long enough to recognize Itself in relation to the other portion and to say: "I am'"

This Awareness indicates this portion which separated Itself then became the vibration which was different from the remaining Being, from the remaining portion. This Awareness indicates this creates a duality in consciousness whereby one portion could recognize itself as existing in relation to the other portion, and in this action a concept was created.

That concept being a vibration, a Word: the Word being the Creator.
For the concept of a Creator could not occur until a separation from that which was created could be conceived.

This Awareness suggests that when an energy is in movement; wherein an energy is in expression, that the movement is a being, is an experiencing action.

This Awareness suggests that wherein there is movement which "is," which states with all certainty: "I am," and moves in accordance with that "I am," capacity, this movement is in tune with cosmic energies.

This Awareness indicates that wherein the energy begins to reflect upon itself, whereby it questions and asks: "What Am I ?" whereby it asks itself: "What Am I doing ?" whereby it attempts to define itself and state what it is, or what it can be, or cannot be, this then begin creating a dilemma for that energy.

This Awareness indicates that there is a classic question: "To be or not to be ?" ....This as a question, not of consciousness, but of mind which creates a dilemma and a choice, where in reality there is no choice, for the nature of essence is such that "I am" and there is no question of whether to be, or not to be, for the consciousness which states that "I am" cannot cease to be other than that which it is.

This Awareness indicates when mind is in the process of creation on any level,- whether this is the universal creation, or the creation of an individual, - whereby the individual is creating self, or whether this is an action of the mind in an organic nature such as vegetable, animal, man, or some in-between creation,- this Awareness indicates whatever the level of mind, when it is in the process of creating; this is the action of the creative force, and the movement is that which be termed "God", or the Creator; the Cause.
(10-10-02)

This Awareness indicates that wherein mind suddenly stops creating and looks at itself or at its creation, and basks in the glory of its own Light, saying to itself: "What a great creator I am," then this is no longer the cause, or creative force; rather this is an effect, a recognition of self; and that recognition of self is that which is the pride known as the vanity which caused the Lucifer fall from honor.

This glory in its accomplishments is that which is the Alien Force within the universe of mind. This Awareness indicates therefore....a crucial and important observation must be recognized. This Awareness indicates that "recognition" is that which is the key word to describe ( this 10th Lesson of Capricorn), this chamber of Satan, this high of glory for the mind; for when the mind turns and recognizes itself, this is self-awareness, and entities have been encouraged to "know thyself." This Awareness indicates that self-examination has been encouraged.

This Awareness indicates that self-recognition, whereby the mind looks at itself, is that which is a crucial part of higher development. This Awareness indicates however, that wherein mind looks at itself to evaluate and judge itself; this becomes a somewhat different kind of action, for the very action of judgment and evaluation requires comparison; and for the mind to compare itself, it must in fact have something to separate from itself with which to compare itself.

This Awareness indicates therefore, the mind must function in levels of duality. The mind then compares itself and its glorious creations or its error, with some other accomplishment of mind., - another entity, another place, another experience, - and in that comparison with that other entity, or another place, another experience, - the mind evaluates and determines whether it is acceptable, praiseworthy, or worthy of condemnation and rejection.

This Awareness indicates that either of these is an action of Lucifer, - wherein the mind overpraises itself and its accomplishment and basks in the glory of its own being; or whether the entity, the mind, degrades itself, condemns itself, and damns itself to suffering and shame, - either of these is that which is the Lucifer, or Satanic aspect of consciousness, in that it is a reflection of mind, reflecting upon itself in duality, rather than an action and direct light of creation, a direct light of mind creating movement, or action, or discernment in a sense of oneness.

This Awareness indicates the major difference between the reflective aspect of mind and the Creator is that the Creator recognizes Itself as the original; whereas the reflective aspect of mind sees itself as having been created, an aspect of the Creator, an effect of the Creator, and desires to challenge that which created it, seeking to have equal power with the Creator.
(10-10-02)

This Awareness indicates that this occurs with the individual, within a society, within the universe, and is the very nature of mind. This Awareness indicates that the mind tends to reflect upon itself; and that reflection upon itself often breaks into duality thinking, into comparison; and that comparison: right/wrong, good/bad, high or low in status of recognition, weak or strong, powerful or fragile; all these are dualities which the mind may place values upon if it seeks to dwell in duality levels.

THE LAW OF AWARENESS

This Awareness indicates there is that Law of Awareness wherein this Awareness may observe that which is the illusion of separateness, yet not be confused by this illusion; whereby this Awareness may be aware of that which is the illusion of death, yet not be caught in that illusion; whereby this Awareness may observe that which is the illusion of free will, yet not be caught in that illusion.

There are certain limitations placed on this Awareness which It cannot break
One of these being It cannot break Its own principles and Laws; It cannot deny or reject those who would appear to separate themselves from this Awareness nor the movement and illusion of free will whereby they would do so.
