When attentiveness wanes, passivity of attention comes to the fore and then proclivities are allowed to arise in reactive thinking and behavior. \u00a0Abandoning the submissive attitude to the passive process of automated reactivity is the contemplative practice, \u00a0 but this cannot be efficiently performed without first recognizing what it is that is continually arising from the depths of subconscious memory.<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Passive attention must be reformed in the reformatorium of contemplative science into active vigilant attention. \u00a0 That\u2019s why the sages have always termed the basic experience of gnosis as an \u201cawakening\u201d from a state of \u201csleep\u201d. \u00a0By slipping repeatedly back into daydream passivity, reactive thinking and related conduct again arise. The \u201ctrick\u201d of this kind of advanced contemplative science is to learn to stay attentive to the condition of your attention. \u00a0The goal is free attention, the absence of bound attention through the eradication of passivity. \u00a0 A silent and powerful mind is thus developed. \u00a0 This kind of mental silence is not some kind of trance or mental stupor but an active and cognizant attentiveness that knows \u201cwhat-is\u201d. \u00a0Hypnoidal reaction to stimuli, whether arising externally or internally, is not conducive to the evolution toward awakening, but a silent detachment from passive attention which allows conditioning at the subconscious levels to wane and dissolve is the real beginning of real freedom.<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/DSCI0400-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-473\" src=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/DSCI0400-3.jpg\" alt=\"gnosis\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/DSCI0400-3.jpg 640w, http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/DSCI0400-3-150x112.jpg 150w, http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/DSCI0400-3-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/44-DSCI0016.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-446\" src=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/44-DSCI0016.jpg\" alt=\"freedom\" width=\"1024\" height=\"770\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/44-DSCI0016.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/44-DSCI0016-150x112.jpg 150w, http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/44-DSCI0016-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Real Freedom of Gnosis \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The goal of contemplative exercise is the eradication of the dualistic fixated perspective. \u00a0 Doing this repeatedly over a long period of time will weaken and eradicate unwholesome memory impressions in the subconscious layer of consciousness. \u00a0These seed impressions are the basis of hindering and subverting tendencies and &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/real-freedom-of-gnosis\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Real Freedom of Gnosis<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":48,"parent":0,"menu_order":57,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-493","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/493","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=493"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/493\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2376,"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/493\/revisions\/2376"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=493"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
