The Science of Evolving Inward
“What you are searching for is always the subject, never the object”
Involution™ is the practice and state of unlimited, persistent awareness, the Yoga of Consciousness. In this experience, awareness learns to rest in a state of perpetual recognition of the state of consciousness itself, beyond, and within, all externalities, all phenomena, all which manifests out of the universal mind.
The most direct path home is no path. Turn around. You are already there. Right here, right now. All objects and phenomena depend on you. Consciousness is required for all to be experienced. The moment consciousness turns to something else, the past is gone. So why attach to it so strongly?
At the heart of it, the suffering the Buddha referred to as life, is simply a case of mis-identity. We have forgotten the state of BEING, in order to experience being human. We are continually looking at what is outside of us to bring us happiness and joy, when it is the most complete and natural state we can know within us. The impermanence of the manifesting world leads to constant seeking, resisting change, holding on. Meanwhile, the permanent state of happiness can only be found within.
To experience something is to resonate with it, and yet to be distinct from it. To hear, your ears must vibrate to the sound my voice makes. You have to make the same sound with your being that I made with mine. We must literally allow ourselves to resonate one another.
The same is true of all of our experience of this reality we call life on earth. In order to exist, a thing must differentiate itself from its environment. It must develop a boundary of some kind and maintain it in order to be distinct. That is the only way it can experience anything other than itself. If we dissolve all distinction, the boundaries disappear. When the boundaries disappear, no individual exists. And yet at that same time, all phenomena must also be a part of a greater whole. It must be ‘one’, an individuated aspect of the whole, the greater Universal One. This is how all things manifest as One and Many. This is one aspect of Law of the One.
“As we turn the eye inward,
we enter into an endless spiral dance of consciousness itself,
witnessing and experiencing,
observing and being observed,
singing and being sung.”
Its as easy as PIE. Perpetual Inward Evolution. The process of Involution takes us constantly deeper into ourselves, to eventually, as all consciousness does, discover the True Spiritual Heart, to find our Home. After all, we are human Be-ings, not human doings. We are individuated creative consciousness being human, and as we turn the eye inward, we enter into an endless spiral dance of consciousness itself, witnessing and experiencing, observing and being observed, singing and being sung. The highest bliss exists in the discovery of this state of ultimate being, in Sanskrit known as Samadhi, and Sat-Chit-Ananda. (There are many stages/types of Samadhi as well). Many people experience brief moments of this state, and different versions of it, spontaneously during the course of their lives. But it is fleeting, and so far removed from the experience of day to day life, that it can be quickly forgotten, or feel out of reach.
Turn your awareness inward, such that all outward focus ceases. When consciousness turns around to face itself, our true identity is revealed.
