Psychological Islands and the Centre of Consciousness – (1720)

Psychological Islands

Within our psychology we have many different parts of our psychology. The problem for us is that they are not connected to one another. They are isolated just like islands in a vast ocean.

This post is really just repeating to you in words what my marvellous missionary has been saying lately.

Proof of the Existence of Isolated and Disconnected Psychological Parcels

There is so much proof of this that the various parts of our psychology are like islands, disconnected from one another.

The many contradictions that we have are a prime example of this.

The fact that we have interesting esoteric experiences that show us that esotericism is real, that he Masters are real and that our inner Divinity is real, yet people talk to us, and then other different egos talk inside of us and then we develop a negative attitude towards the work on ourselves disbelieving in it. Yet we had these marvellous experiences proving to us that the work is real and actually does work.

These psychological islands make us to forget our experiences. In fact they don’t remember them because it is not their job to remember them.

The fact that we don’t like having things done to us while we do the same things to others is further proof that our psychology is made up of psychological islands.

When we get so angry with someone who forgot to help us one time yet has helped us countless times, is another example.

When we break a promise is another example.

Role of Memory

We have four types of memory: 1.) of the senses, 2.) of the centres, 3.) of the impressions and 4.) of the esoteric or inner.

Using our memory consciously can help us to connect and better monitor all of these psychological islands.

We should use the memory to remember our errors, mistakes, and the consequences and effects of the egos.

Remedy is a Centre of Consciousness

Our consciousness is the one that can oversee all of those different contradicting egos or psychological islands.

Our consciousness is the only one to oversee and link the past to the present. For example, we may have told someone that we love them and then now we are angry and we say the opposite. Our consciousness can remember what we said in the past and then it can modify our anger.

Another example is we work on the ego and we try to push it out but later we bring it back in again. Our consciousness can remember that we are trying to dissolve it and we should not bring it back again, if we don’t want to waste our earlier efforts.

Consciousness using memory can link the psychological islands. To
produce a more conscious conduct or to enhance awakening!

Consciousness Needs to be Continuous

Our consciousness is not continuous, it always is stopped and blocked by various egos. Our consciousness should be the element that produces the continuity within us so to keep up with the various commitments.

The consciousness has to be present always to keep consistency present in us.

The judges of the law and the Jinas Masters are the ones that really appreciate persistence and consistency. If we are relatively awakened, the egos will not be able to survive.

Only ever one centre!

There Can be Only One Centre

There can be only one central point or one centre. We have to honour that by making our consciousness that centre. No one ego can be the centre. There cannot be 100 centres, there is only ever one.
