From Form to the Formless - 10.01.09

Student Question: Why does consciousness congeal into form? “Because there are many nuances of possibility that cannot be expressed in any other way. And so all the exquisite permutations of possibility require forms in which to be expressed . . . And so if we do not give form to these expressions, then we cannot mount up to higher and higher levels of consciousness. We cannot learn from the form to enter again the formless at the next octave of realization. . . . And so at each cycle, each experience of growth—through failure through death, through a fall, through trauma—that gets expressed in form, enables us to touch into the heart of Being and be renewed and reborn at a higher level of form—more perfect, more beautiful, more expressive of the Ultimate Real—that is God. And so this is the way that human beings attain that perfection; through form.” Recorded on the evening of Thursday, October 1, 2009.
