When consciousness wakes up

These are notes I made after finishing my collection, Exit From The Matrix, which contains over 50 specific imagination exercises and techniques, all aimed at empowering the individual:

“The individual may be focused on his own life and future, or he may be hoping to affect the course of life in a larger sphere; but whichever is the case, he needs to envision the future with the wide-ranging stimulus of his own imagination; otherwise his consciousness will keep operating within familiar and tight limits; it will keep ‘repeating itself,’ and energy will drain away.”

“Consciousness isn’t a field that remains the same. It isn’t a finished product. It moves dynamically, and it invents what wasn’t there before.”

“Consciousness can go through the motions, like a sleepwalker, or it can seek out new directions. When it pursues this latter course, it creates experience that would never otherwise exist.”

“Desire is always looking for a North Star, and it finds it in imagination. Imagination fleshes out what fulfilled desire would be like, look like, feel like. Consciousness pours itself into imagination and says, ‘Let’s go.’”

“The world is sitting in the middle of each person’s consciousness like a clue, a hint, an example of what can be created.”

“As a metaphor, consciousness could be thought of as the raw material of awakened imagination. It is the fuel for the engine of the creative impulse.”

“Status quo is the myth that says individual consciousness has a particular configuration. Consciousness is action waiting to happen, when you’re talking about the life and future of an individual. As soon as he begins to invent his future, consciousness stops waiting. It becomes arrows of perception and excitement aimed in the direction the individual is heading. It’s the great yes that outdistances any possible collection of no’s.”

“Consciousness is inherently poetic. It seeks new rhythms and flows and shapes and sounds and images that will add up to…what? That is for the individual to decide. But eventually he will discover that this poem of his own future has no end. There is no final sum or final stopping point. The process is endless. Endless is the ultimate ‘rock’ on which he can stand: the future he is inventing keeps going and expanding without limit.”
