There are a few cardinal signposts he may identify with to know he has touched into the inner realms of his mind. Should he ever have experienced a \u201chere-and-now\u201d consciousness, causing him to fight the \u201cwhere and when\u201d of the future and the \u201cthere and then\u201d of the past afterwards, he can fully impart to himself an award of having achieved some attainment by striving even more diligently than before. The ability to see the external world as transparent, a game, a dream, encourages the aspirant to seek deeper. The moon-like light within the center of his head appears during his tries at meditation, sometimes giving him the perceptive ability to cognize the intricate workings of another\u2019s external and subconscious states of mind, as well as his own, intimately. The ability of the ardent soul to recognize his guru and identify himself in the actinic flow from whence the master infuses knowledge by causing inner doors to open is another signpost that the aspirant has become an experiencer and is touching in on the fringe or perimeter of transcendental states of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many on the path to enlightenment will be able to identify, through their personal experience, some of these signposts and recall many happenings that occurred during their awakenings. But remember, the recall and the experience are quite different. The experience is \u201chere and now\u201d; the recall is \u201cthere and then.\u201d However, by identifying the experience and relating it to a solid intellectual knowledge, the ability will be awakened to utilize and live consciously in inner states of super\u00adcon\u00adsciousness. After acquiring this ability to consciously live super\u00adcon\u00adsciously comes the ability to work accurately and enthusiastically in the material world while holding the intensity of the inner light, giving perceptive awareness of its mechanical structure. There also comes the ability to work out quickly in meditation experiences of the external mind or worldly happenings through finding their \u201cinnerversity\u201d aspects rather than being drawn out into the swirl of them. In doing so, the cause-and-effect karmic experiential patterns of the aspirant\u2019s life that tend to lower his consciousness into congested areas of the mind will clear up as, more and more, the actinic flow of super\u00adcon\u00adsciousness is maintained as the bursts of clear white light become frequent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cardinal Signposts The young aspirant just becoming acquainted with the path to enlightenment may wonder where he is, how much he has achieved so far.
