Continuation of “The Dark Sea of Awareness” –
The Eagle‘s emanations are always grouped in clusters. The old seers called those clusters the great bands of emanations. They aren’t really bands, but the name stuck. For instance, there is an immeasurable cluster that produces organic beings. The emanations of that organic band have a sort of fluffiness. They are transparent and have a unique light of their own, a peculiar energy. They are aware, they jump. That’s the reason why all organic beings are filled with a peculiar consuming energy. The other bands are darker, less fluffy. Some of them have no light at all, but a quality of opaqueness. Think of it as an enormously wide band of luminous filaments, luminous strings with no end. Organic beings are bubbles that grow around a group of luminous filaments.
Imagine that in this band of organic life some bubbles are formed around the luminous filaments in the center of the band, others are formed close to the edges; the band is wide enough to accommodate every kind of organic being with room to spare. In such an arrangement, bubbles that are close to the edges of the band miss altogether the emanations that are in the center of the band, which are shared only by bubbles that are aligned with the center. By the same token, bubbles in the center miss the emanations from the edges.
As you can understand, organic beings share the emanations of one band; yet seers see that within that organic band beings are as different as they can be. There are as many of these great bands as infinity itself. Seers have found out, however, that in the earth there are only forty-eight such bands. That means there are forty-eight types of organizations on the earth, forty-eight types of clusters or structures. Organic life is one of them.
The old seers counted seven bands that produced inorganic bubbles of awareness. In other words, there are forty bands that produce bubbles without awareness; those are bands that generate only organization. Think of the great bands as being like trees. All of them bear fruit; they produce containers filled with emanations; yet only eight of those trees bear edible fruit, that is, bubbles of awareness. Seven have sour fruit, but edible nonetheless, and one has the most juicy, luscious fruit there is.
Inorganic beings are not as plentiful as organic ones, but this is offset by the greater number of bands of inorganic awareness. Also, the differences among the inorganic beings themselves are vaster than the differences among organisms, because organisms belong to only one band while inorganic beings belong to seven bands.
Besides, inorganic beings live infinitely longer than organisms. This is the aspect that stimulated the old seers to concentrate their vision on the allies. The old seers also came to realize that it is the high energy of organisms and the subsequent high development of their awareness that make them delectable morsels for the Eagle. In the old seers’ view, gluttony was the reason the Eagle produced as many organisms as possible.
The product of the other forty great bands is not awareness at all, but a configuration of inanimate energy. The old seers chose to call whatever is produced by those bands, vessels. While cocoons and containers are fields of energetic awareness, which accounts for their independent luminosity, vessels are rigid receptacles that hold emanations without being fields of energetic awareness. Their luminosity comes only from the energy of the encased emanations.
You must bear in mind that everything on the earth is encased. Whatever we perceive is made up of portions of cocoons or vessels with emanations. Ordinarily, we don’t perceive the containers of inorganic beings at all. The total world is made of the forty-eight bands. The world that our assemblage point assembles for our normal perception is made up of two bands; one is the organic band, the other is a band that has only structure, but no awareness. The other forty-six great bands are not part of the world we normally perceive.
There are other complete worlds that our assemblage points can assemble. The old seers counted seven such worlds, one for each band of awareness. Two of those worlds, besides the world of everyday life, are easy to assemble; the other five are something else.
The unknown is forever present, but it is outside the possibility of our normal awareness. The unknown is the superfluous part of the average man. And it is superfluous because the average man doesn’t have enough free energy to grasp it.
The new seers were simply terrified by the knowledge that the old seers had accumulated throughout their times. Which is understandable; the new seers are aware that such knowledge only leads to total destruction. However, they are also fascinated by it; especially by their practices. They are the legacy of the ancient Toltecs. The new seers learn about them to the extent that they are progressing. They hardly use them, but these practices are part of their knowledge. They are obscure formulas, enchantments, and lengthy procedures that have to do with the handling of a very mysterious force.
It was mysterious at least to the ancient Toltecs which they masked and made it more terrifying than it really is. It is a force present in everything that exists. The old seers never tried to unveil the mystery behind the force that made them create their secret practices; they simply believed it to be something sacred. But the new seers looked closely at it and called it intent, the intent of the Eagle’s emanations, or just intent.
