Voir Dire Series 3 : on consciousness
consciousness is neither knowledge or wisdom
developing within oneself via detachment
self-observation, reflection of thoughtforms
realisation of impermanence rise
egolessness is fabric of consciousness
grounded in strict discipline, morality
strong effort, charity, calming tolerance
consciousness takes one from gross reality
rooted in sense life into subtle realities
rooted in sublime
purification of mind contents result
process usurps mental realm for direct perception
sees truth as it arises in the moment
enables ability to see from all angles
wide deep scope of various existences
results in tolerance true
complete peace and equanimity of mind
purer the mind, the purer the consciousness
when all reactions dissipate freedom births
transcendence into absolute consciousness
alpha and omega connects in circle
this our task, determinations, our liberation
