Choosing to Live according a Material or Spiritual Point of View

 

This Awareness indicates you have the ability to view your self in two distinct and different ways. You can see yourself as a body that is inhabited by consciousness, wherein the body has something about it that is called consciousness, and you can see that consciousness as if it were an addendum or adjunct to the body, just as the body has a brain, the body has an arm, the body has consciousness, or, you can look at it equally objectively as though you are consciousness, and in the process of being consciousness, you are capable of imagining a body that grows and develops into form and takes on size and takes on shape and takes on appearance that reflect and mirrors the consciousness.

Those Who See Themselves as a Body First

This Awareness indicates it is a matter of personal choice as to which way you view your existence but those who see themselves strictly as a physical body that grew and developed consciousness will always have a limited view of themselves and will always feel that the body is the basis for the consciousness and that the consciousness will be destroyed with the destruction of the body.

Those who view themselves as consciousness first, who has, or which has developed a body as a kind of cocoon in which to reside while living on Earth, wherein the consciousness that serves as a tool or landing pad into which it can come and go, may find it interesting and somewhat different type of arrangement, whereas if you see yourself as consciousness first, having an adjunct known as the body, then you are more able to do things as consciousness than is the body able as a physical vehicle to do with its adjunct known as consciousness.

If you See Yourself as Consciousness First & Body Second

This Awareness indicates if you see yourself primarily as consciousness first and body second, you may find it easier, for example, to experience out-of-body travel and to go to different places without your body, leaving your body at home, and to travel as consciousness into different realms, or different places and you may find yourself also being more aware of your immortality, and knowing that if this body fails, you can create another with your consciousness.

This Awareness indicates that it simply creates a different reality with different rules and different opportunities that come from being consciousness first and primarily, may range from all kind of things that would otherwise be impossible to one who sees himself as a body first and as having evolved into a level of consciousness wherein the body develops consciousness.

The Material View and the Spiritual View of Yourself

This Awareness indicates that the materialistic view is that you are physical first and develop consciousness. The spiritual view is that you are consciousness first and develop a body and use the body as a House of the Lord, or house of the consciousness which you primarily are. This Awareness indicates that as Lord of your body, consciousness can do and be many things that are not possible for the entity who has the materialistic point of view.

This Awareness indicates in such levels you can move in consciousness to other dimensions, you can recognize your movement in from dreams with a better understanding of who you are and what you are, and you can have a kind of security that is much greater than the entity who sees himself primarily as a body, because if you are the body only, you are finite, and you see yourself as one who will be terminated totally at the end of the body's cycle; but as consciousness the body is a tool for experiencing certain physical gratifications and experiences, yet you do not rely on the body to give you life or to give you experience and levels of consciousness.

Therefore, you know yourself to be immortal. It is a matter of which premise you choose. Either premise is arguable, neither is more evidenced than the other unless you weigh and balance and realize there is some greater evidence of life after death or out-of-body experiences that cannot be explained from the materialistic point of view.

This Awareness indicates of course, as a materialist, you can deny such things exist and maintain your belief in the premise that you are a body first that has developed consciousness. This Awareness indicates it is an individual's choice as to which premise he or she wishes to start in developing and building his or her life.

You must Make a Choice - You Can't be Both

One is a materialistic point of view, and the other is the spiritual, or enlightened point of view. Be either one or the other, for you can't be both. You can't have a premise that says you are basically and primarily physical and basically and primarily spiritual in nature. You are one or the other. If you wish to experiment with one for awhile and see how it feels, then switch to the other and experience the other premise and build your life on that premise and explore that premise for some time. It will become quite apparent that the premise arguing that you are consciousness first who has developed a physical body for a tool of expression is much more comfortable and explains many things that cannot be explained from the premise of materialism.
