If BioGeometry has taught me anything, it is the absolute fallacy of the belief that we can be objective, or limited to physically perceptible phenomena.
The first time I swung a pendulum, and witnessed it spin seemingly on its own, I knew that I was being affected every moment of every day by forces unseen and unknown to my material senses altogether.
Since that time, over 2 years ago now, I grew in my innate ability to see and sense beyond the material senses, and to trust what I perceived. Gradually, a concept of the subtle realms unfolded in my imagination. I began to see without my eyes, to feel without my physical bodily senses, and experience direct knowledge. As this awareness expanded, I began to recognize how my awareness was focused so precisely and exclusively that I could ignore certain inputs as if they did not exist for me in the moment at all.
And that’s when I received the cognition of how the consciousness aperture works. Because the body of the Human Being spans every subtle plane, we are unique in that we occupy ALL of them simultaneously. No other being can claim this status. We have our root in the most dense physicality and our point of creation in the High Divine. We span the entire spiral of existence. Each individual human being has various awareness of their own body; spanning from the most enlightened Buddhi to the unconscious newborn. One is entirely incarnated, and the other, hardly at all.
I discovered that by practicing expanding and contracting my aperture of consciousness, amazing development is possible. The practice is simple. It is only the committed willingness, or intent, to become aware of what is being not focused on, or ignored, in any given moment. The development happens naturally and without effort. Because we are perceiving and being affected by every subtle plane all the time, becoming aware of our own ignored perceptions easefully expands the bounds of our own identity.
This practice can be begun with the simple realization of the definition of focus.
focus;
/fō′kəs/
noun
1. The distinctness or clarity of an image rendered by an optical system.
2. The state of maximum distinctness or clarity of such an image.
in focus; out of focus.
3. An apparatus used to adjust the focal length of an optical system in order to make an image distinct or clear.
“a camera with automatic focus.”
One immediately distinguishes that to focus necessitates that there be a background- an entire foundation of reality which is inherently not in focus. It becomes immediately apparent that focused perception is nothing more than an unconscious mechanism of survival; to bring to awareness that which is most immediately relevant to survival. And yet, this system reveals that there is necessarily an entire fundamental background to that which is most immediately relevant to survival.
To be sure, this exercise is not to ignore that which is most immediately relevant to survival. To attempt this would be a defeat in the exercise. We cannot override our design. We can, however, expand it. The expansion of our awareness to what is not in focus, again, involves merely the willingness to do so.
The term “soft eyes” is used often in intense sports where physical readiness and instant reaction is necessary as well as relaxed and easeful flow. We are aiming to mate both the vigilant readiness and the easeful flow. “Soft eyes” is the practice of looking in peripheral eyesight- refraining from focusing on anything in particular. Much like driving, we merely gaze ahead in relaxed readiness; being aware both of the immediacy of the road and our reaction and, the larger environment along the sides of the road, next to and behind the vehicle, etc. Soft eyes is how we instinctively approach animals, and children.
Practicing being willing to become aware of what is not focused on has expanded me exponentially in the last couple of years. It has opened up a fascinating and exciting world of discovery of things like polarity and shadows, family constellations, energy psychology, and so much more! I hope that you, reader, may benefit from experimenting with this simple exercise.
