Soul4you \u00b7 spiritual reflection \u00b7 series 3\/3 \u00b7 reading time: approx. 11 minutes<\/em><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been building up to this moment over the course of two articles.<\/p>\n

First, we climbed the fig tree with Zacchaeus, and there we learnt that the tree was our own awakened spine, the axis of our consciousness. Then, with Nimrod, we stopped in front of the Sumerian cylinder seal, and we saw that the lion was not an adversary, but our own royal consciousness, which we must learn to bear.<\/p>\n

Now comes the question that is the most personal part of the series:<\/p>\n

What happens when the tree and the lion meet INSIDE YOU in a single moment?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because that is what is really at stake. Not knowledge. Not the interpretation of symbols. But that moment \u2014 and many of us have experienced it, though we didn\u2019t always realise what it was \u2014 when, in the stillness of dawn, after a deep breath, during meditation, in a child\u2019s gaze, or in the midst of a profound loss, a feeling suddenly arises:<\/p>\n

\u201eI know this from somewhere. I\u2019m not learning it now. I\u2019m just remembering it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

That\u2019s what this article is about. And that\u2019s what the whole Soul4you journey is all about.<\/p>\n

Where the two images meet<\/h2>\n

First, let\u2019s pause and place the two pictures side by side.<\/p>\n

Zacchaeus in the fig tree. A man who had lived for years at the very bottom of the city, trying to see above the crowd, and one morning finally climbs up somewhere. He rises above his own limitations. And at that very moment, Jesus looks up at him. Ascension.<\/p>\n

Nimrod on the seal cylinder. An initiated figure who simultaneously holds the lion of royal consciousness and bears the flowering branch of the Tree of Life. He does not fight, nor does he hunt game, but gently tends to it. Carrying.<\/p>\n

Now ask yourself: what do these two things have in common?<\/p>\n

A person who climbs up onto their own axis and then, there at the top of it, learns to harness their own strength.<\/p>\n

These are not two separate states. It is a single arc: the ascent and the carrying, as two sides of the same process. And there is a third point where this arc arrives.<\/p>\n

Arrival.<\/h2>\n

That moment when the tree and the lion are no longer separate symbols, but your own experience. When your body simultaneously feels the axis and the royal tranquillity. Not through concentration, not through effort, but simply through letting go.<\/p>\n

This is the cosmic state of consciousness.<\/h2>\n

And it\u2019s important to say this because most people expect some kind of extraordinary, ecstatic experience. Yet often the opposite happens: the cosmic moment isn\u2019t louder, but quieter than usual. It doesn\u2019t tear you away from your life, but rather, all of a sudden, it places you more deeply within it.<\/p>\n

What does \u201ecosmic\u201d mean \u2014 and what does it NOT mean?<\/h2>\n

The term \u201ecosmic state of consciousness\u201d \u2014 or, as \u00c1gnes Golenya calls it, the \u201eblue\u201d state of consciousness \u2014 is easily misunderstood. Let me start by explaining what it is NOT.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re leaving your body. It doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re going \u201esomewhere else\u201d. Cosmic consciousness isn\u2019t somewhere else. It\u2019s right here, where you\u2019re sitting now.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re constantly happy or calm. Cosmic consciousness isn\u2019t an emotional state. You can be angry, sad or tired \u2014 and yet still be in a state of cosmic consciousness.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re chosen. Everyone has access. It\u2019s not about merit, hierarchy or rank.<\/p>\n

So what is it, then?<\/p>\n

A cosmic state of consciousness is when you realise, all at once, that:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. This body is yours \u2014 and yet the consciousness of a thousand years flows through it.<\/li>\n
  2. This life is yours \u2014 and yet it is part of a much larger pattern.<\/li>\n
  3. Your decisions are your own \u2014 and each one is underpinned by a deeper understanding.<\/li>\n
  4. Here you are, right now, in a city, or in a kitchen, or at a bus stop \u2014 and yet you\u2019re in a cosmic position.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You\u2019re not small, and you\u2019re not big. You\u2019re both at the same time.<\/p>\n

    This is the realisation that dawned on Zacchaeus in the fig tree, that Nimrod bore on his signet ring, that Imhotep embodied in Egypt, and that \u00c1gnes Golenya refers to as \u201eblue blood\u201d. It has always been within us \u2014 we have simply forgotten it.<\/p>\n

    Light and the Darkness Beyond Light \u2014 Golenya\u2019s Key Teaching<\/h2>\n

    Here comes the most beautiful and most subtle teaching in the series. It is a teaching which, if you are not familiar with it, will have you running towards the Light for years, wondering why you never seem to arrive.<\/p>\n

    We must be particularly careful with our choice of words here. When \u00c1gnes Golenya speaks of the Darkness Beyond the Light, she does not mean it in the sense of psychological darkness, nor as pain, nor as something evil. Rather, she is pointing to a primordial, magi state that precedes all form and all separation.<\/p>\n

    In the *Children of the Blue Blood* trilogy \u2014 particularly in the third volume, *Journey to the Golden Age* \u2014 \u00c1gnes Purisaca Golenya states quite clearly that the Light is not the goal.<\/em><\/p>\n

    This is one of the most difficult teachings. Because if you\u2019re on any kind of spiritual path, you\u2019ve been hearing for years: \u201ego towards the Light\u201d, \u201ebe the Light\u201d, \u201ebe a bearer of light\u201d.<\/p>\n

    It\u2019s just that Golenya says something really lovely.<\/p>\n

    Light is still in motion. Light is vibration. Light still presupposes its opposite \u2014 Darkness. Light, therefore, is not the point of arrival, but the threshold of arrival.<\/p>\n

    The point of arrival is what Golenya calls \u201eDarkness Beyond the Light\u201d or the \u201eGerm-state\u201d \u2014 the seed-state. In the second volume of the *Children of the Blue Blood* trilogy, he elaborates on this concept in detail.<\/p>\n

    This is not the darkness we encounter in everyday life. It is not the darkness of fear, depression or ignorance. It is important to understand this clearly before we misinterpret it.<\/p>\n

    This is the state of pure potentiality from which everything unfolds \u2014 including the Light. A primordial silence that cannot be grasped, for within it lives everything that could ever exist. The state of the core.<\/p>\n

    The Seed precedes the Light. That is why it cannot be attained simply by asking for \u201emore light\u201d. It can only be attained by, at some point, letting go of the Light as well, and learning to rest in silence within the core.<\/p>\n

    This is the deepest layer of cosmic consciousness. It is not ecstasy. It is not radiance. Rather, it is a deep, primordial silence, in which every possibility is present at once.<\/p>\n

    And here\u2019s a line that sums up the series best:<\/p>\n

    You don\u2019t need to go up.
    \nOn the way home.<\/em><\/p>\n

    How to find your way back \u2014 seven subtle trail markers<\/h2>\n

    How do you return to this state, which has always been within you?<\/p>\n

    Let me explain it as I\u2019ve experienced it, and as I\u2019ve heard it from others. Seven subtle directions. Not a system. Not a formula. Just signposts.<\/p>\n

    1. Practising \u201enot-knowing\u201d. Every day, for a moment, allow yourself not to know anything. To have no answers. To simply be. This is the gateway to the Seed-state.<\/p>\n

    2. The body as an axis. Once a day, you pause, sink into your body, and feel that you yourself are the tree. From the soles of your feet to the top of your head, you are a single axis. All you need to do is feel.<\/p>\n

    3. The act of \u201ecarrying\u201d. When a heavy feeling arises \u2014 anger, sadness, fear \u2014 you do not struggle against it, you do not suppress it, you do not chase it away. You simply carry it. Like Nimrod carrying the lion. Gently. There, under your arm.<\/p>\n

    4. Silence, which is not the absence of sound. A moment when you take off your headphones, put your phone down, and sink into the silence that lies behind the sounds. It is not empty. It is full of possibilities.<\/p>\n

    5. Honouring that \u201eI\u2019ve always known\u201d feeling. When something strikes a chord within you and you feel, \u201eI recognise this from somewhere.\u201d Don\u2019t try to explain it. Don\u2019t rationalise it. Just let it speak to you. That is the voice of memory.<\/em><\/p>\n

    6. Connecting with your own ancestral traditions. A folk song, a handmade object, an old tale: these are not merely cultural artefacts. They are vessels. For you, this might be a Hungarian folk song, but it could be any other ancestral lineage into which your life has become woven. If you engage with them mindfully, some ancient knowledge will return to you through that lineage.<\/p>\n

    7. The confidence that you are here. The deepest practice: trusting that you were not born at the wrong time or in the wrong place. That your presence here, right now, fits perfectly into a vast pattern, even if you cannot see it.<\/p>\n

    None of these exercises is a performance. Each one is a form of self-expression.<\/p>\n

    And here\u2019s the little secret: you don\u2019t have to follow these trail markers in order. You can start from any of them. They all lead back to the same place.<\/p>\n

    Your golden age \u2014 which has already begun<\/h2>\n

    The term \u201egolden age\u201d may put some people off, as they might sense a New Age flavour to it. But that is not what Golenya is talking about, nor is it what Hungarian ancestral tradition refers to.<\/p>\n

    Therefore, in this interpretation, the Golden Age is not a calendar event. It is not an external shift in eras that we will all experience on the very same day. Rather, it is an inner transformation that begins to take shape from person to person, from heart to heart.<\/p>\n

    The Golden Age is not a date in the future. It is not a matter of \u201eone day, in a particular year, everything will change\u201d. The Golden Age is the collective name for the awakening that is now beginning, in small ways, in seeds and sprouts, within people\u2019s inner worlds.<\/p>\n

    Your golden age begins when:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. One morning you realise that you don\u2019t have to please everyone to be loved,<\/li>\n
    2. In a conversation, you say something you haven\u2019t dared to say for years,<\/li>\n
    3. When making a decision, you listen to your own heart, rather than to what is \u201eexpected\u201d,<\/li>\n
    4. During a meditation, you feel that your body is both small and cosmic,<\/li>\n
    5. In a moment of solitude, the realisation dawns: \u201eI am not alone. I never have been.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Every moment like this is a golden moment. And as more and more of them accumulate within you, the world around you begins to change too.<\/p>\n

      Not suddenly. Not dramatically. But from the inside out, slowly, surely.<\/p>\n

      And the most beautiful thing of all is that whoever has set this in motion within themselves passes it on to others as well. Not with words. But through their presence.<\/p>\n

      You yourself will be a little piece of the Golden Age for those you meet. Even if you don\u2019t say a single word about the cosmic state of consciousness.<\/p>\n

      Three reflective questions to say goodbye<\/h2>\n

      Dear Reader, this marks the end of our three-part series.<\/p>\n

      We climbed the fig tree with Zacchaeus. With Nimrod, we learnt how to carry a lion. And now, here at the end of the series, we\u2019ve come to the point that was always within us \u2014 we\u2019d just forgotten it.<\/p>\n

      I\u2019m leaving you with three questions. Not so that you answer them straight away, but so that they can stay with you over the coming weeks, months \u2014 perhaps even years:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. When do you reach that point where you no longer want to go up, but want to head home instead?<\/li>\n
      2. What is that piece of knowledge that you\u2019ve once thought to yourself, \u201eI\u2019ve heard this somewhere before\u201d, but haven\u2019t dared to take seriously until now?<\/li>\n
      3. If every role, every expectation and every external voice were to fall silent around you for a moment, what would you hear deep inside?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        A parting thought I\u2019d like to leave you with:<\/p>\n

        What is now awakening within you is not new.
        \nDo you just remember that,
        \nthe person you\u2019ve always been.<\/em><\/p>\n

        If this series has resonated with you and you\u2019d like to continue along this path, Soul4you\u2019s more in-depth resources \u2014 workbooks, accompanying letters and future articles \u2014 are waiting for you here.<\/p>\n

        But there\u2019s no rush. Your journey is your own \u2014 take it at your own pace.<\/p>\n

        Thank you for coming this far with me.<\/p>\n

              Returning to what you have forgotten about yourself<\/em><\/p>\n\n

              Soul4you \u00b7 Georgina Kovacs \u00b7 Spiritual reflections, Part 3 of 3<\/p>\n\n

              Across the previous two essays, I have followed two inward images. With Zacchaeus, the fig tree became an image of an awakened inner axis; with the figure I contemplate as Nimrod, carrying the lion became a way of exploring our relationship with our own strength.<\/p>\n\n

              Now I arrive at the most personal question in the series. What happens when the tree and the lion meet within you?<\/p>\n\n

              I am not asking how many symbols you can interpret. I am asking about a moment of recognition: in an early-morning silence, after an unhurried breath, during meditation, in a child's gaze, or perhaps in the midst of a difficult change.<\/p>\n\n

              Something stirs, and you find yourself thinking: I know this from somewhere. I am not only learning; I am remembering.<\/p>\n\n

              That is the experience I want to explore. It is also one of the questions at the heart of the Soul4you journey.<\/p>\n\n

              Where the two images meet<\/h2>\n\n

              First, let us place them side by side. In Luke's account, Zacchaeus is a wealthy chief tax collector who climbs a sycamore fig tree because he wants to see Jesus and cannot see over the crowd. (Luke 19:1\u20135<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n

              In my symbolic reading, that upward movement becomes a return to an inner axis. He leaves the position from which he cannot see, and the encounter begins from somewhere unexpected.<\/p>\n\n

              The second image is the lion-bearing figure considered in my Nimrod essay. There, I contemplate a figure carrying a lion and a flowering branch, without presenting it as an archaeologically authenticated portrait of the biblical Nimrod. (The Soul4you Nimrod essay<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n

              For this series, the important movement is carrying. Strength is neither denied nor turned into domination; something powerful is held with responsibility.<\/p>\n\n

              Now bring those images together. A person finds their axis, then learns to stand there without being overwhelmed by the strength they carry.<\/p>\n\n

              Ascent and carrying become two aspects of one movement. And there is a third point at which they meet: arrival.<\/p>\n\n

              Arrival, rather than escape<\/h2>\n\n

              By arrival, I mean the moment when the symbols cease to be only things you contemplate. They become recognisable in your own experience.<\/p>\n\n

              You feel rooted and open at the same time. There is strength, but it does not need to announce itself.<\/p>\n\n

              This is what I am calling cosmic consciousness in this essay. It is a spiritual term within my own account, not a clinical category or a state I claim can be objectively identified in another person.<\/p>\n\n

              The word \u201ccosmic\u201d can make us expect something overwhelming. Yet the moment I am describing may be quieter than the life around it.<\/p>\n\n

              It need not remove you from your body or your ordinary surroundings. It can bring you more fully into the place where you already are.<\/p>\n\n

              Nor do I equate it with being permanently calm or happy. Grief, anger and tiredness do not make a person's spiritual life less real.<\/p>\n\n

              And it is not a mark of being chosen above others. I do not use this language to establish a hierarchy of human worth.<\/p>\n\n

              What \u201ccosmic\u201d means to me<\/h2>\n\n

              In my metaphysical understanding, our present life belongs to a reality larger than its immediate circumstances. I do not mean only that we feel connected to a community or inherit cultural memories, although those connections also matter.<\/p>\n\n

              I mean a real spiritual continuity that exceeds the account we usually give of ourselves. The body is here, this life is ours, and neither exhausts the reality to which we belong.<\/p>\n\n

              That is the sense in which I speak of an ancient knowing moving through the present. I am expressing a metaphysical conviction, not proposing that a feeling establishes biological ancestry or provides verifiable information about an ancient civilisation.<\/p>\n\n

              For me, cosmic consciousness includes several recognitions:<\/p>\n\n
