Answers from the books of Samael Aun Weor
It is imperative that teachers understand the need for intelligently reconciling freedom and order and this is possible through conscious attention.
Conscious attention excludes that which is called identification. When we identify ourselves with things, people, and ideas, fascination takes over producing the sleep of the Conscience.
We must know how to pay attention without identification. When we pay attention to something or someone and we forget ourselves, it results in fascination and the sleep of the Conscience.
Observe carefully a moviegoer, he is asleep, unaware of everything and of himself.
He is empty within and looks like a zombie. He dreams with the movie and the hero hi is watching.
Students should pay attention in classrooms without forgetting themselves so that they do not fall into the terrible sleep of the Conscience.
A student should see himself in action when he is taking an exam or when he is at the blackboard as told by the teacher or when he is studying or resting or playing with his classmates.
Attention divided in thee parts: Subject, Object, Place, is in fact, conscious attention.
When we do not commit the error of identifying ourselves with things, people and ideas, we save creative energy and we accelerate within us the awakening of Conscience.
Whoever wants to awaken Conscience in the Superior Worlds should begin by awakening in the here and now.
