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".

The philosopher Descartes believed that he had found the most fundamental truth when he made his famous statement: "I think therefore I am." He had in fact given expression to the most basic error: to equate thinking with Being and identity with thinking. The compulsive thinker which means almost everyone lives in a state of apparent separateness in an insanely complex world of continuous problems and conflict a world that reflects the ever-increasing fragmentation of the mind. Enlightenment is a state of wholeness of being "at one" and therefore at peace. At one with life in its manifested aspect the world as well as with your deepest self and life unmanifested - at one with Being. Enlightenment is not only the end of suffering and of continuous conflict within and without but also the end of the dreadful enslavement to incessant thinking. What an incredible liberation this is!

Identification with your mind creates an opaque screen of concepts labels images words judgments and definitions that blocks all true relationship. It comes between you and yourself between you and your fellow man and woman between you and nature between you and God. It is this screen of thought that creates the illusion of separateness the illusion that there is you and a totally separate "other." You then forget the essential fact that underneath the level of physical appearances and separate forms you are one with all that is. By "forget I mean that you can no longer feel this oneness as self-evident reality. You may believe it to be true but you no longer know it to be true. A belief may be comforting. Only through your own experience however does it become liberating.

Thinking has become a disease. Disease happens when things get out of balance. For example there is nothing wrong with cells dividing and multiplying in the body but when this process continues in disregard of the total organism cells proliferate and we have disease.

Note: The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly however it becomes very destructive. To put it more accurately it is not so much that you use your mind wrongly - you usually don't use it at all. It uses you. This is the disease. You believe that you are your mind. This is the delusion. The instrument has taken you over.

I don't quite agree. It is true that I do a lot of aimless thinking like most people but I can still choose to use my mind to get and accomplish things and I do that all the time.

Just because you can solve a crossword puzzle or build an atom bomb doesn't mean that you use your mind. Just as dogs love to chew bones the mind loves to get its teeth into problems. That's why it does crossword puzzles and builds atom bombs. You have no interest in either. Let me ask you this: can you be free of your mind whenever you want to? Have you found the off" button?

Clairvoyance Lothian

As he looks at a person he will see him surrounded by the luminous mists of the astral aura flashing with all sorts of brilliant colours and constantly changing in hue and brilliancy with every variation of the person's thoughts and feelings. He will see this aura flooded with the beautiful rose-colour of pure affection the rich blue of devotional feeling the hard dull brown of selfishness the deep scarlet of angers the horrible lurid red of sensuality the livid grey of fear the black clouds of hatred and malice or any of the other hundredfold indications so easily to be read in it by a practiced eye; and thus it will be impossible for any persons to conceal from him the real state of their feelings on any subject. [Page 38]

These varied indications of the aura are of themselves a study of very deep interest but I have no space to deal with them in detail here. A much fuller account of them together with a number of coloured illustrations will be found in my pamphlet on "The Aura" and the larger work on the subject "Man Visible and Invisible".

Not only does the astral aura show him the temporary result of the emotion passing through it at the moment but it also gives him by the arrangement and proportion of its colours when in a condition of comparative rest a clue to the general disposition and character of its owner. For the astral body is the expression of as much of the man as can be manifested on that plane so that from what is seen in it much more which belongs to higher planes may be inferred with considerable certainty.

In this judgment of character our clairvoyant will be much helped by so much of the person's thought as expresses itself on the astral plane and consequently comes within his purview. The true home of thought is on the devachanic [mental] plane and all thought first manifests itself there as a vibration of the mind-body. But if it be in any way a selfish thought or if it be connected in any way with an emotion or a desire it immediately descends into the astral plane and takes to itself a visible form of astral matter.

In the case of the majority of men almost all thought would fall under one or other of these heads so that practically the whole of their personality would like clearly before friend's astral vision since their astral bodies [Page 39] and the thought-forms constantly radiating from them would be to him as an open book in which their characteristics were writ so largely that he who ran might read. Anyone wishing to gain some idea as to how the thought-forms present themselves to clairvoyant vision may satisfy themselves to some extent by examining the illustrations accompanying Mrs. Besant's valuable article on "Thought Forms" in Lucifer of September 1896.

We have seen something of the alteration in the appearance of both animate and inanimate objects when viewed by one possessed of full clairvoyant sight as far as the astral plane is concerned; let us now consider what entirely new objects he will see. He will be conscious of a far greater fulness in nature in many directions but chiefly his attention will be attracted by the living denizens of this new world. No detailed account of them can be attempted within the space at our disposal; for that the reader is referred to No.5 [The Astral Plane] of the Theosophical Manuals. Here we can do no more than barely enumerate a few classes only of the vast hosts of astral inhabitants.

He will be impressed by the protean forms of the ceaseless tide of elemental essence ever swirling around him menacing often yet always retiring before a determined effort of the will; he will marvel at the enormous army of entities temporarily called out of this ocean into separate existence by the thoughts and wishes of man whether good or evil. He will watch the manifold tribes of the nature-spirits at their work or at their [Page 40] play; he will sometimes be able to study with ever-increasing delight the magnificent evolution of some of the lower orders of the glorious kingdom of the Devas which corresponds approximately to the angelic host of Christian terminology.
