I asked my wise Osteopath Gregory how to bring Christ Consciousness into a Challenging interaction. He said to first step back and tune in nature. Then feel it’s all one event along with The Primal Respiration (an Osteo term) which is the Christ Consciousness.
I experience this as a multi-dynamic Self-Reflection of being aware of multiple Layers or aspects and dimensions such as our different types of perceiving and sensing, along with imagining and verbal skills In the whole complexity of biological responses moment to moment. It’s the experience in the moment.
Out of this comes the practice of moment to moment awareness of the flow as one event to the next as all one event and so forth.

The doors of perception
This is an installment on the doors of perception, some of which are my own but the majority are from the Blake library of my most esteemed largely dead mentor authors. I am creating a sequential manual of working with this material in an experiential way.
Regarding the materialistic myopic usurpation of awareness, Blake says to look through the eye and not with it. Blake’s book of Ur i z e n is a complete parody of the nine month human gestation cycle and sensory petrification.
As perception is creation.
It’s about the Life vs Death Process one’s will is a slave or master to.
“Eternal Error or Creation will be Burned Up &
then & not till then Truth or Eternity will appear It is Burnt up
the Moment Men cease to behold it.” – Wm. Blake
The aesthetic vision represents existential freedom, while the ethical vision is bound by laws and morality. Blake contrasts the orthodox “good” founded on the external world with humanity’s submerged “evil” desires for a more sensible world. This cyclical vision separates into a dialectic between life (creation) and death (torture/tyranny).
One pole is the impulse to transform the world into human, imaginative form through art, religion, and culture – personified as Los. The other pole is the “natural vision” that sees the objective world as independent of humans, becoming hypnotized by nature’s remoteness and rationalizing injustices. The “Natural Man” accepts this divided, money-ruled world that reduces everything to quantities.
The “human vision” views the objective world as a basis for human creation, aiming for the pure creative “Religion” ascribed to God. Reality lies not in mere perception but in the act of looking – the wise see a tree as a swarm of energies and imaginings, while the fool sees only the surface image.
The senses must recoil for the mind’s energies, and sense impressions need an active mind’s fertilization, else they fall apart. One must either make the tree obey one’s creative will, or be dictated to by it. Unity requires clarifying the dynamic synthesis of opposites like Being/Becoming, Life/Death, etc.[
To achieve eternity on earth, we must passionately experience earth. Seeking unity precipitates conflict by the soul’s very existence as a thing apart. Though our consciousness cannot transcend this paradox, we resolve it in every creative act.
