Retreat Post 40 – To Be Asleep - (632)

Disclaimer – Not Mine Only Notes

I have to stress that these words are my notes only. The thoughts and understanding behind them do not come from me but from the terrific missionaries that lead the various activities during the retreat.


To be Asleep

To better understand what it is to be asleep, we can look at life.


If we observe a person who is asleep physically, we see that their senses and focus are dormant.
What happens is that the ego hypnotises the free essence and when we are hypnotised, we or the free essence act in exactly the same way as when we are asleep physically.

The result when the free essence is hypnotised by the ego, is that two essences go to the abyss - the free and the sleeping.


Conclusion

When we are sleep the consciousness no longer watches the ego, and it becomes the same as it. Basically by studying how we sleep physically and psychologically we can know how to awaken - by duality.


End (632).
