The influence of objective-consciousness

We need influences to get self-consciousness and objective-consciousness. The influences that develop us up to the Work are B Influence. Objective-consciousness needs its own influence. C Influence is needed (which practically means being in the third state of consciousness at least, which means doing the Work). Objective-consciousness also needs material influence, or knowledge. Something higher than mere literature the way C influence is higher than B influence. That material is the living word of God.

You can't have objective-consciousness without knowing the plan of God, or plan of redemption.

This objective-consciousness via the word of God is obviously more than just knowing true doctrine and the Bible really well, because it is *on top of* having self-consciousness, which most theologians, for instance, don't have. We're faced with our ignorance and weakness - and sin - when doing the Work, and just being awake to ourselves that knowing the Work requires.

The Book of Revelation is a test for objective-consciousness. Interestingly a person like Calvin with all his understanding said he didn't understand the Book of Revelation and left it alone. This shows the boundary between Man #1,2,3 and Man #5.
