Active and inactive

Sacred texts in the orthodox mystic are centered on the notion of an internal prayer meant to revelate the God within us. They rely on the crucial active role of us as conscious agents in this process. A hyper-vigilent, monitoring consciousness seems to be needed to put one on track, in synchronization with one's true self, hidden beneath the layers of impurity. The latter are to be dispensed of in a hygienic process carried out via the active role of consciousness. But it seems to me that, although this is the safe option, an alternative option is nevertheless available, namely the random (seen from the perspective of the active role) emergence of the true self, due to configurations and re-configurations at infrastructural, unconscious or semi-unconscious levels of the system. These states can be attained due to the dynamic character of the settings of parameters of a cognitive system. The blueprint of mental hygienization, it seems to me, can impose itself out of processes not necessarily stirred by the hyper-consciousness schema..
