Notice Board for this Area

Nothing to post for this area as yet.  In the meantime here is an extract from one of my favorite books "The Power of Now".

This accumulated pain is a negative energy field that occupies your body and mind. If you look on it as an invisible entity in its own right you are getting quite close to the truth. Its the emotional pain-body. It has two modes of being: dormant and active. A pain-body may be dormant 90 percent of the time; in a deeply unhappy person though it may be active up to 100 percent of the time. Some people live almost entirely through their pain-body while others may experience it only in certain situations such as intimate relationships or situations linked with past loss or abandonment physical or emotional hurt and so on. Anything can trigger it particularly if it resonates with a pain pattern from your past. When it is ready to awaken from its dormant stage even a thought or an innocent remark made by someone close to you can activate it. Some pain-bodies are obnoxious but relatively harmless for example like a child who won' t stop whining. Others are vicious and destructive monsters true demons. Some are physically violent; many more are emotionally violent. Some will attack people around you or close to you while others may attack you their host. Thoughts and feelings you have about your life then become deeply negative and self-destructive. Illnesses and accidents are often created in this way. Some pain-bodies drive their hosts to suicide. When you thought you knew a person and then you are suddenly confronted with this alien nasty creature for the first time you are in for quite a shock. However it's more important to observe it in yourself than in someone else. Watch out for any sign of unhappiness in yourself in whatever form - it may be the awakening pain-body. This can take the form of irritation impatience a somber mood a desire to hurt anger rage depression a need to have some drama in your relationship and so on. Catch it the moment it awakens from its dormant state. The pain-body wants to survive just like every other entity in existence and it can only survive if it gets you to unconsciously identify with it. It can then rise up take you over become you and live through you. It needs to get its "food" through you. It will feed on any experience that resonates with its own kind of energy anything that creates further pain in whatever form: anger destructiveness hatred grief emotional drama violence and even illness. So the pain-body when it has taken you over will create a situation in your life that reflects back its own energy frequency for it to feed on. Pain can only feed on pain. Pain cannot feed on joy. It finds it quite indigestible. Once the pain-body has taken you over you want more pain. You become a victim or a perpetrator. You want to inflict pain or you want to suffer pain or both. There isn't really much difference between the two. You are not conscious of this of course and will vehemently claim that you do not want pain. But look closely and you will find that your thinking and behavior are designed to keep the pain going for yourself and others. If youweretruly conscious of it the pattern would dissolve for to want more pain is insanity and nobody is consciously insane. The pain-body which is the dark shadow cast by the ego is actually afraid of the light of your consciousness. It is afraid of being found out. Its survival depends on your unconscious identification with it as well as on your unconscious fear of facing the pain that lives in you. But if you don't face it if you don' t bring the light of your consciousness into the pain you will be forced to relive it again and again. The pain-body may seem to you like a dangerous monster that you cannot bear to look at but I assure you that it is an insubstantial phantom that cannot prevail against the power of your presence. Some spiritual teachings state that all pain is ultimately an illusion and this is true. The question is: Is it true for you? A mere belief doesn't make it true. Do you want to experience pain for the rest of your life and keep saying that it is an illusion? Does that free you from the pain? What we are concerned with here is how you can realize this truth - that is make it real in your own experience. So the pain-body doesn't want you to observe it directly and see it for what it is. The moment you observe it feel its energy field within you and take your attention into it the identification is broken. A higher dimension of consciousness has come in. I call it presence. You are now the witness or the watcher of the pain-body. This means that it cannot use you anymore by pretending to be you and it can no longer replenish itself through you. You have found your own innermost strength. You have accessed the power of Now.

What happens to the pain-body when we become conscious enough to break our identification with it?

Unconsciousness creates it; consciousness transmutes it into itself. St. Paul expressed this universal principle beautifully: "Everything is shown up by being exposed to the light and whatever is exposed to the light itself becomes light." Just as you cannot fight the darkness you cannot fight the pain-body. Trying to do so would create inner conflict and thus further pain. Watching it is enough. Watching it implies accepting it as part of what is at that moment. The pain-body consists of trapped life-energy that has split off from your total energy field and has temporarily become autonomous through the unnatural process of mind identification. It has turned in on itself and become anti-life like an animal trying to devour its own tail. Why do you think our civilization has become so life-destructive? But even the life-destructive forces are still life-energy. When you start to disidentify and become the watcher the painbody will continue to operate for a while and will try to trick you into identifying with it again. Although you are no longer energizing it through your identification it has a certain momentum just like a spinning wheel that will keep turning for a while even when it is no longer being propelled. At this stage it may also create physical aches and pains in different parts of the body but they won't last. Stay present stay conscious. Be the ever-alert guardian of your inner space. You need to be present enough to be able to watch the pain-body directly and feel its energy. It then cannot control your thinking. The moment your thinking is aligned with the energy field of the painbody you are identified with it and again feeding it with your thoughts. For example if anger is the predominant energy vibration of the pain-body and you think angry thoughts dwelling on what someone did to you or what you are going to do to him or her then you have become unconscious and the pain-body has become "you." Where there is anger there is always pain underneath. Or when a dark mood comes upon you and you start getting into a negative mind-pattern and thinking how dreadful your life is your thinking has become aligned with the pain-body and you have become unconscious and vulnerable to the pain-body's attack. "Unconscious the way that I use the word here means to be identified with some mental or emotional pattern. It implies a complete absence of the watcher. Sustained conscious attention severs the link between the painbody and your thought processes and brings about the process of transmutation. It is as if the pain becomes fuel for the flame of your consciousness which then burns more brightly as a result. This is the esoteric meaning of the ancient art of alchemy. the transmutation of base metal into gold of suffering into consciousness. The split within is healed and you become whole again. Your responsibility then is not to create further pain. Let me summarize the process. Focus attention on the feeling inside you. Know that it is the pain-body. Accept that it is there. Don't think about it - don't let the feeling turn into thinking. Don't judge or analyze. Don't make an identity for yourself out of it. Stay present and continue to be the observer of what is happening inside you. Become aware not only of the emotional pain but also of the one who observes the silent watcher. This is the power of the Now the power of your own conscious presence. Then see what happens. For many women the pain-body awakens particularly at the time preceding the menstrual flow. I will talk about this and the reason for it in more detail later. Right now let me just say this: If you are able to stay alert and present at that time and watch whatever you feel within rather than be taken over by it it affords an opportunity for the most powerful spiritual practice and a rapid transmutation of all past pain becomes possible.

Ego Identification With The Pain-Body

The process that I have just described is profoundly powerful yet simple. It could be taught to a child and hopefully one day it will be one of the first things children learn in school. Once you have understood the basic principle of being present as the watcher of what happens inside you - and you understand" it by experiencing it -you have at your disposal the most potent transformational tool. This is not to deny that you may encounter intense inner resistance to disidentifying from your pain. This will be the case particularly if you have lived closely identified with your emotional pain-body for most of your life and the whole or a large part of your sense of self is invested in it. What this means is that you have made an unhappy self out of your pain-body and believe that this mind-made fiction is who you are. In that case unconscious fear of losing your identity will create strong resistance to any disidentification. In other words you would rather be in pain –be the pain-body– than take a leap into the unknown and risk losing the familiar unhappy self. If this applies to you observe the resistance within yourself. Observe the attachment to your pain. Be very alert. Observe the peculiar pleasure you derive from being unhappy. Observe the compulsion to talk or think about it. The resistance will cease if you make it conscious. You can then take your attention into the pain-body stay present as the witness and so initiate its transmutation. Only you can do this. Nobody can do it for you. But if you are fortunate enough to find someone who is intensely conscious if you can be with them and join them in the state of presence that can be helpful and will accelerate things. In this way your own light will quickly grow stronger. When a log that has only just started to burn is placed next to one that is burning fiercely and after a while they are separated again the first log will be burning with much greater intensity. After all it is the same fire. To be such a fire is one of the functions of a spiritual teacher. Some therapists may also be able to fulfill that function provided that they have gone beyond the level of mind and can create and sustain a state of intense conscious presence while they are working with you.

The Origin Of Fear

Clairvoyance Devon

It does not follow that even the pupil who is receiving regular instruction in the use of occult powers will find them unfolding themselves exactly in the regular order which was suggested above as probably idea. His previous progress may not have been such as to make this for him the easiest or most desirable road; but at any rate he is in the hands of one who is perfectly competent to be his guide in spiritual development and he rests in perfect contentment that the way along which he is taken will be that which is the best way for him.

Another great advantage which he gains is that whatever faculties he may acquire are definitely under his command and can be used fully and constantly when he needs them for his Theosophical work; whereas in the case of the untrained man such powers often manifest themselves only very partially and spasmodically and appear to come and go as it were at their own sweet will.

It may reasonably be objected that if clairvoyant faculty is as stated a part of the occult development of man and so a sign of a certain amount of progress along that line it seems strange that it should often be possessed by primitive peoples or by the ignorant and uncultured among our own race - persons who are obviously quite undeveloped from whatever point of view one regards them. No doubt this does appear remarkable at first sight; but the fact is that the sensitiveness of the savage or of the coarse and vulgar European ignoramus is not really at all the same thing as the [Page 20] faculty of his properly trained brother nor is it arrived at in the same way.

An exact and detailed explanation of the difference would lead us into rather recondite technicalities but perhaps the general idea of the distinction between the two may be caught from an example taken from the very lowest plane of clairvoyance in close contact with the denser physical. The etheric double in man is in exceedingly close relation to his nervous system and any kind of action upon one of them speedily reacts on the other. Now in the sporadic appearance of etheric sight in the savage whether of Central Africa or of Western Europe it has been observed that the corresponding nervous disturbance is almost entirely in the sympathetic system and that the whole affair is practically beyond the man's control - is in fact a sort of massive sensation vaguely belonging to the whole etheric body rather than an exact and definite sense-perception communicated through a specialized organ.

As in later races and amid higher development the strength of the man is more and more thrown into the evolution of the mental faculties this vague sensitiveness usually disappears; but still later when the spiritual man begins to unfold he regains his clairvoyant power. This time however the faculty is a precise and exact one under the control of the man's will and exercised through a definite sense-organ; and it is noteworthy that any nervous action set up in sympathy with it is now almost exclusively in the cerebro-spinal system. [Page 21]

On this subject Mrs. Besant writes:

"The lower forms of psychism are more frequent in animals and in very unintelligent human beings than in men and women in whom the intellectual powers are well developed. They appear to be connected with the sympathetic system not with the cerebro-spinal. The large nucleated ganglionic cells in this system contain a very large proportion of etheric matter and are hence more easily affected by the coarser astral vibrations than are the cells in which the proportion is less. As the cerebro-spinal system develops and the brain becomes more highly evolved the sympathetic system subsides into a subordinate position and the sensitiveness to psychic vibrations is dominated by the stronger and more active vibrations of the higher nervous system. It is true that at a later stage of evolution psychic sensitiveness reappears but it is then developed in connection with the cerebro-spinal centres and is brought under the control of the will. But the hysterical and ill-regulated psychism of which we see so many lamentable examples is due to the small development of the brain and the dominance of the sympathetic system."
