Aha I may be a step ahead of where you think I am. I am familiar with Seth and his teachings and indeed I find many common points within my own philosophy.
I am actually developing a series of books which will basically be "my teachings", and it may not surprise you to find that the first in the series is: 'Book One of the White Mage: Focus'
So yes, focus is indeed probably the first and foremost element of consciousness that is tangibly accessible. Again, of course, I do not consider focus to be consciousness itself. However, I equate Focus with the Logos. Logos is Focus.
Thus coming back to the element of Love which appears to be the driving factor behind all focus.
This would be a big subject to tackle and I would have to put some deep thought in to it, but it's true that this is a worthy topic of discussion. In my 'technical' writings, I tend to try and describe concepts through multiple words so I would probably not just say focus but also orientation, affinity, and ultimately identity which is the core focus of all consciousness. Consciousness focuses an establishes identity.
Anyways, not really the place to actually get in to these writings but maybe you can all help me then. I consider this topic of the facets of consciousness to be an "intermediate" study, not quite for the beginner. So that being said I ask all of you...
What would you like to see included in a "beginner's guide"? What topics do you think might be best tackled first?
My thoughts so far have taken me to intuition, inspiration and curiosity as I believe the spiritual path truly begins when one is faced with something, an experience or person that is deeply mysterious and this inspires an intuitive curiosity. Of course, I would probably also include how some people are introduced to spiritual concepts from a young age and I would maybe express that one of the first modes of seeking is that search for context, for an understanding of the world that will accommodate the experiences one has had.
Maybe we can create a list of topics that would be best tackled in order (roughly).
