The Second Conscious Shock

The Second Conscious Shock

From our friend, David Tuttle

If you are able to prolong presence, it means the second conscious shock is occurring, let us say. We are not speaking of producing the second conscious shock at will - that would be man number five.

When do we observe that it happens?

I have observed prolonged presence while transforming emotional and bodily suffering, while doing inner prayer, sometimes in ordinary insignificant moments and finally, when being together with other students of my school and the teacher in meetings or events.

You would think from the books that the second conscious shock is taking terrible suffering or intense negativity and somehow transforming it into bliss. I have not experienced this, although I have friends who say they have. I have, however, experienced flashes of higher centers in the midst of intense negativity.

Back to our proposition, if one is able to prolong self-remembering, the second conscious shock must be occurring. This means a certain emotionality about self-remembering is present. Emotionality is not a very good word, because it is not a normal emotion, but instead is mi 12 detached from any emotion, I believe.

Mi 12 is the third note of the octave of the digestion of impressions. It is produced by the first conscious shock, “bringing carbon 12 to the point of incoming impressions”. Carbon 12 is “an energy of the emotional center”. Without this internal action on the impressions that are coming in, there is very little mi 12 in the machine – this is the case of ordinary people. As soon as attention is divided, there is a much larger amount available.

So, the second conscious shock means acting on, doing something with this mi 12.
