Some Retreat Notes – Day 1 - (1045)

Introduction (8 Note Sections)

This post contains the notes taken during the first day of a small local retreat that took place after the retreat at Lake George, in a small place off shore from the North American mainland.

See Sexuality Through and for the Being (1/8)

We have to see sexuality through the Being. We normally don't see our sexuality this way.

When spontaneously the sexual energy is active we can see it through and for the Being. Seeing that Activation as a natural clean manifestation of our Being and a powerful and beautiful one at that we can think that what is of the Being used in the Being’s way will take us closer to the Being or to the higher parts and states of ourselves.

The activation of the sexual energy should be understood as a manifestation of the Being and not as something sexy, sensuous etc. These are all concepts created by human beings and belong to the ego of lust. What is real and original is the force of the vitality of the Being manifesting in our sexual centre.

Pride with Different People (2/8)

When we move between different groups of people there is that pride that shows up in us, mainly because we know our place and we can’t straight away shift into a prominent or high position, when people say positive things to us and give us a high place.

We provoke anger in us in accordance with the conditioning of anger.

How can we dissolve or actually first overcome or displace that pride?

Remember Thomas A Kempis where he wrote that he was not more because he was praised and he was not less because he was humiliated.

So we are not less, we are the same! Once again our reference points are not in our centre of consciousness they are outside of ourselves in people. This is vanity. This is about creating the psychological moon.

To remedy this we need to transfer our reference point to our consciousness.

Accidents (3/8)

Accidents are not karma! This is because karma always has a cause and an accident is what escapes our will.

To avoid the law of accidents one needs to have an active causal body that by using its will it actually determines circumstances.

When something escapes our will there is no cause for it and it is an accident. Not Karma.

Three Antidotes for Identification, Fascination and Sleep or Dreaming (4/8)

The antidote to identification is comprehension.

The antidote to fascination is revelation and the antidote to sleep is action.

If we don't comprehend the wrong states of others that affect us we will get identified! This a big key just here!

Fascination is a step deeper than identification and so revelation is a step more active in the consciousness than comprehension.

With identification we get taken down into our abyss.

The way we fall asleep in the ego is by attention. The second step is then assimilation. The third is reality. In the second is where we absorb or bring into ourselves what was said and or done.

The last step is where we also give it reality! It basically becomes real for us.

We have to learn how to divide our attention. When we divide our attention into half, that is one half on the person and the other in myself, we break identification or we don't get identified.

We based on memory, come to actually transform a sensation into an emotion. Such as a sound or noise can get transformed into fear.

Values of the Being (5/8)

Force is a value of your Being and it is used to keep the essence standing and to overcome obstacles in life and in the path.

Anger never comes alone and there are really three types of anger which are word, mind and body.

Anger is due to a lack of force! When the essence trapped in the ego feels hurt or offended and at the same time feels that it lacks force, calls out to the Being for help and anger comes to the call and it anger is force, but unfortunately a force that attacks others.

Using our Consciousness (6/8)

1.) Attention always inside.

2.) Maintain the consciousness.

3.) Focus the consciousness.

4.) Point of Reference correct

5.) Relate correctly with the event.

There are three steps to relate well with the event. They are: 1.) participation 2.) communication and communion.

We relate well with the event when we integrate ourselves with the event. When we integrate with the event we use the right centre for the event ever so naturally.

Every event has a nominated centre. This happens that when the Being is incarnated one happens to relate correctly with the event using the right centre.

Until we incarnate the Being we must beg the Divine Moher and the Third Logos to help us to relate correctly with event using the right centre.

The intellectual centre informs us, the emotional centre motivates us and the motor centre carries things out for us.

We have to relate well with the event and relate and relate with the event using the right centre.

For example, eating is to use the instinctive centre, if we use the intellect to analyse the ingredients of the food we don’t end up eating. There are many examples like this and the right centre has much to do with the nature of the event.

To awaken we have to know it is precisely that we make our consciousness to sleep.

Part of the Being Related to Karma (7/8)

There is a part of the Being in us that is related to the payment of karma.

This part of the Being can be conditioned by egos of fear that are scared of the Divine Law.

Values of the Being (8/8)

Trust

Trust is a very important value of the Being and it is liberated by dissolving fear.

Force

Within anger is force. Within lust is the sexuality of the Being and some aspects of the love of the Being.

Each part of the essence has a certain value inside of it and those values make up the values of the Being.

To Have

‘To have’ is not bad at all but as the mind is conditioned by relativity and duality there comes into the picture – ‘judgement’, where one has more than the other and that comes to be the cause for envy, competition, rivalry and unfairness or injustice which can really hurt others.

The values of the Being are all trapped within relativity and duality.

Dignity

Dignity is trapped within the ego of pride.

Relativity has done so much harm to humanity became it produces the sense of unfairness because it relates directly to the inner scale of every human being.

All the events in their depth are neutral, that is neither bad or good etc.

End (1045).
