Discovering the Need to Learn How to Swim in Primal Consciousness

When looking at Petroglyphs created several thousand years ago, what does the image of a turtle create in your mind? 

You see here the turtle

image at the Jeffers Petroglyphs,. Put into words whatever arises out of the mists of your memory as you are now quiet for several minutes. 

For urban conditioned people this may take a while. The subconscious is increasingly dominated by a secular and commercial world that makes money by shaping  in the mind that which is seen with frequency. So many images are sexual because those images satisfy the curiosity and driving urge toward an orgasmic experience. You may have to pass through this gate to enter the next and even more primal information.

 Underneath  that layer of consciousness are the layers of memory that go back thousands of years in each of us. Some call it the primal memory. 

The turtle image seems so boring at first - just like watching a turtle move across the sidewalk or street. Almost like watching grass grow. Be more patient than you think possible. This time allows the mind to sink to a next level of depth.

All of a sudden the turtle seems to move just a bit as the primal consciousness begins to claim your field of attention.  Hold that image in the present memory.

This exercise is intended to summon a person beyond the usual depth of attention. Much like going into a lake from a sandy beach and then feeling the beginning of a drop off. A new swimmer may thrash around in the attempt to regain footing. So begins a sense of urgency about learning to swim.

This lake of human development is almost  infinitely deep.
