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".

How is it possible that humans killed in excess of 100 million fellow humans in the twentieth century alone? Humans inflicting pain of such magnitude on one another is beyond anything you can imagine. And that's not taking into account the mental emotional and physical violence the torture pain and cruelty they continue to inflict on each other as well as on other sentient beings on a daily basis. Do they act in this way because they are in touch with their natural state the joy of life within? Of course not. Only people who are in a deeply negative state who feel very bad indeed would create such a reality as a reflection of how they feel. Now they are engaged in destroying nature and the planet that sustains them. Unbelievable but true. Humans are a dangerously insane and very sick species. That's not a judgment. Ifs a fact. It is also a fact that the sanity is there underneath the madness. Healing and redemption are available right now. Coming back specifically to what you said - it is certainly true that when you accept your resentment moodiness anger and so on you are no longer forced to act them out blindly and you are less likely to project them onto others. But I wonder if you are not deceiving yourself. When you have been practicing acceptance for a while as you have there comes a point when you need to go on to the next stage where those negative emotions are not created anymore. If you don't your "acceptance" just becomes a mental label that allows your ego to continue to indulge in unhappiness and so strengthen its sense of separation from other people your surroundings your here and now. As you know separation is the basis for the ego's sense of identity. True acceptance would transmute those feelings at once. And if you really knew deeply that everything is "okay as you put it and which of course is true then would you have those negative feelings in the first place? Without judgment without resistance to what is they would not arise. You have an idea in your mind that everything is okay but deep down you don't really believe it and so the old mental-emotional patterns of resistance are still in place. That's what makes you feel bad.

That's okay too.

Are you defending your right to be unconscious your right to suffer? Don't worry: nobody is going to take that away from you. Once you realize that a certain kind of food makes you sick would you carry on eating that food and keep asserting that it is okay to be sick?

Wherever You Are Be There Totally

Can you give some more examples of ordinary unconsciousness?

See if you can catch yourself complaining in either speech or thought about a situation you find yourself in what other people do or say your surroundings your life situation even the weather. To complain is always non-acceptance of what is. It invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. When you complain you make yourself into a victim. When you speak out you are in your power. So change the situation by taking action or by speaking out if necessary or possible; leave the situation or accept it. All else is madness. Ordinary unconsciousness is always linked in some way with denial of the Now. The Now of course also implies the here. Are you resisting your here and now? Some people would always rather be somewhere else. Their here" is never good enough. Through selfobservation find out if that is the case in your life. Wherever you are be there totally. If you find your here and now intolerable and it makes you unhappy you have three options: remove yourself from the situation change it or accept it totally. If you want to take responsibility for your life you must choose one of those three options and you must choose now. Then accept the consequences. No excuses. No negativity. No psychic pollution. Keep your inner space clear. If you take any action - leaving or changing your situation - drop the negativity first if at all possible. Action arising out of insight into what is required is more effective than action arising out of negativity. Any action is often better than no action especially if you have been stuck in an unhappy situation for a long time. If it is a mistake at least you learn something in which case it's no longer a mistake. If you remain stuck you learn nothing. Is fear preventing you from taking action? Acknowledge the fear watch it take your attention into it be fully present with it. Doing so cuts the link between the fear and your thinking. Don't let the fear rise up into your mind. Use the power of the Now. Fear cannot prevail against it. If there is truly nothing that you can do to change your here and now and you can't remove yourself from the situation then accept your here and now totally by dropping all inner resistance. The false unhappy self that loves feeling miserable resentful or sorry for itself can then no longer survive. This is called surrender. Surrender is not weakness. There is great strength in it. Only a surrendered person has spiritual power. Through surrender you will be free internally of the situation. You may then find that the situation changes without any effort on your part. In any case you are free. Or is there something that you "should" be doing but are not doing it? Get up and do it now. Alternatively completely accept your inactivity laziness or passivity at this moment if that is your choice. Go into it fully. Enjoy it. Be as lazy or inactive as you can. If you go into it fully and consciously you will soon come out of it. Or maybe you won't. Either way there is no inner conflict no resistance no negativity. Are you stressed? Are you so busy getting to the future that the present is reduced to a means of getting there? Stress is caused by being "here" but wanting to be "there or being in the present but wanting to be in the future. It's a split that tears you apart inside. To create and live with such an inner split is insane. The fact that everyone else is doing it doesn't make it any less insane. If you have to you can move fast work fast or even run without projecting yourself into the future and without resisting the present. As you move work run - do it totally. Enjoy the flow of energy the high energy of that moment. Now you are no longer stressed no longer splitting yourself in two. Just moving running working - and enjoying it. Or you can drop the whole thing and sit on a park bench. But when you do watch your mind. It may say: You should be working. You are wasting time." Observe the mind. Smile at it. Does the past take up a great deal of your attention? Do you frequently talk and think about it either positively or negatively? The great things that you have achieved your adventures or experiences or your victim story and the dreadful things that were done to you or maybe what you did to someone else? Are your thought processes creating guilt pride resentment anger regret or self-pity? Then you are not only reinforcing a false sense of self but also helping to accelerate your body's aging process by creating an accumulation of past in your psyche. Verify this for yourself by observing those around you who have a strong tendency to hold on to the past. Die to the past every moment. You don' t need it. Only refer to it when it is absolutely relevant to the present. Feel the power of this moment and the fullness of Being. Feel your presence. Are you worried? Do you have many "what if" thoughts? You are identified with your mind which is projecting itself into an imaginary future situation and creating fear. There is no way that you can cope with such a situation because it doesn't exist. It's a mental phantom. You can stop this health- and life-corroding insanity simply by acknowledging the present moment. Become aware of your breathing. Feel the air flowing in and out of your body. Feel your inner energy field. All that you ever have to deal with cope with in real life - as opposed to imaginary mind projections – is this moment. Ask yourself what "problem' you have right now not next year tomorrow or five minutes from now. What is wrong with this moment? You can always cope with the Now but you can never cope with the future -nor do you have to. The answer the strength the right action or the resource will be there when you need it not before not after.

Another fact which could hardly fail soon to thrust itself upon his notice would be the extension of his perception of colour. He would find himself able to see several entirely new colours not in the least resembling any of those included in the spectrum as we at present know it and therefore of course quite indescribable in any terms at our command. And not only would he see new objects that were wholly of these new colours but he would also discover that modifications had been introduced into the colour of many objects with which he was quite familiar according to whether they had [Page 32] or had not some tinge of these new hues intermingled with the old. So that two surfaces of colour which to ordinary eyes appeared to match perfectly would often present distinctly different shades to his keener sight.

We have now touched upon some of the principal changes which would be introduced into a man's world when he gained etheric sight; and it must always be remembered that in most cases a corresponding change would at the same time be brought about in his other senses also so that he would be capable of hearing and perhaps even of feeling more than most of those around him. Now supposing that in addition to this he obtained the sight of the astral plane what further changes would be observable?

Well the changes would be many and great; in fact a whole new world would open before his eyes. Let us consider its wonders briefly in the same order as before and see first what difference there would be in the appearance of inanimate objects. On this point I may begin by quoting a recent quaint answer given in The Vâhan .

"There is a distinct difference between etheric sight and astral sight and it is the latter which seems to correspond to the fourth dimension..

"The easiest way to understand he difference is to take an example. If you looked at a man with both the sights in turn you would see the buttons at the back of his coat in both cases; only if you used etheric sight you would see them through him and would see the shank-side as nearest to you but if you looked astrally [Page 33] you would see it not only like that but just as if you were standing behind the man as well.

"Or if you were looking etherically at a wooden cube with writing on all its sides it would be as though the cube were glass so that you could see through it and you would see the writing on the opposite side all backwards while that on the right and left sides would not be clear to you at all unless you moved because you see it edgewise. But if you looked at it astrally you would see all the sides at once and all the right way up as though the whole cube had been flattened out before you and you would see every particle of the inside as well - not through the others but all all flattened out. You would be looking at it from another direction at right angles to all the directions that we know.

"If you look at the back of a watch etherically you see all the wheels through it and the face through them but backwards; if you look at it astrally you see the face right way up and all the wheels lying separately but nothing on the top of anything else."
