Who or what are you?

"That is an interesting question, and I welcome any and all to help me understand better. I've read the book. Decision, attention and consciousness. So???

"Here is what I understand...

"Energy follows attention. Attention is the focus point of awareness or consciousness itself. Attention is a miraculous thing, when you focus your attention you can achieve things by putting energy in the object of attention. (and when you don't pay attention to a mosquito bite and in that way stop putting energy into it) it will not bother you.

"Decision and the power to decide are linked to freedom and responsibility. When you decide, you take up responsibility for your self, and guide yourself down a path. Each decision defines the framework or rules by which you will continue down the path.

"Picking up responsibility for your life is extremely important if you wish to influence and direct your life.

"Consciousness is linked to awareness, and paying attention increases it.

"I knew this before I read the first key. So why am I not impressed by any magic Click. Am I missing it all? Or was it just that I knew this already?

"Anybody?"

Welcome to the list, Ben. You have written some very interesting posts and I am sure you will supply some interesting food for thought for the group as time goes on.

Before I comment on this perhaps there is an item that I need to clarify. Some seem to have thought that the purpose of the list (or my participation in it) is to discuss the keys. When I originally agreed with Rick to send posts to the group even he did not know for sure what direction I was going to take and may have assumed that I would talk a lot about future keys.

Let me clarify that this has never been my intention as I have always planned on revealing the keys through The Immortal series.

Nevertheless, we do touch upon future keys in some of my writings and two of them we are covering in significant detail beyond what will be in The Immortal series. These keys are the principle of the Molecular Order and the Gathering of Lights.

The next two keys (which the group does not yet have) enhance the understanding of the first key and I do not want to talk about them in full here or it will spoil Book III for you. Even so I will mention a few things.

Yes, Ben, what you mention there is not new. You have given a basic definition of Attention, Decision and Consciousness and this is pretty much available to the masses. However, the key is not the definition of these words. The key is the answer to WHO OR WHAT AM I?

The answer is not a definition of a word, but a principle which is never the definition of a word. Your essence as it exists in any state of Becoming is that power within you which makes decisions, not decision itself. Decision is the key word, but not the answer. This power which is your essence does not have a name in the English language. It has not been recognized so it has not been named.

In the book there is a mention of another key word which will shed some light on this and the word was revealed in the beginning of the book on the Molecular Relationship. That word is Purpose. Purpose as it is used there is not purpose as we define it in our normal conversation which is related to goal setting. Purpose as we shall use it is the Initiator of all things. It is not energy, but is the initiator of energy. It is not decision, but the initiator of Decision and gives meaning to all things. Decision cannot exist without Purpose. Purpose sustains that power within you to Become and Decide. Because you are a reflection of Purpose you are that power to decide, but not decision itself. Decision is the key word because it is the highest hint in the direction of our essence that we have an accepted word for.

Decision, Consciousness and Attention are to be seen as a Trinity, not as words to be defined. If they are seen as an interdependent Trinity created by Purpose then this will indeed be a key of knowledge to you. These words may seem simple, but even the highest masters and beyond are continually expanding their ring-pass-not on this concept.

We may think we understand Decision-Consciousness-Attention. Before 1492 the people thought they understood the concept of earth-circle-ship, but Columbus discovered a key from this Trinity that led us to discover a new world.

Never be fooled by simplicity. We will be talking more about Purpose/Decision as time goes on and as future Immortal Books are released. In the meantime I will try and answer specific questions.

I appreciate Mark gathering some of my posts together on the subject. I hope this helps.
