A Base in Our Being - (2223)

No Base = Pain

When there is loss in our life, having our bases or our major investments in our own Being or at least in something that will never leave us such as our essence, our work, our own consciousness we can avoid so much emotional pain.

The key is how to do that.

Well it is done over time and certainly it takes time and is achieved by degrees. Where do we start? 

Well here is a way.

Self-Remembering

Self-remembering or better said remembering the Being is the start.

Remembering our own Being is more than being in the moment or being alert. It is to find ourselves in our own Being. The depth of this increases as one awakens more and progresses on the initiatic path.

First we must understand that we are an essence and that our essence comes from a Spirit or a Divine Being, a Monad, a spark of the great flame, which is God.

When we practice self-remembering we can make our mind quiet to see ourselves as awareness, that is us - the still awareness, the awareness that witnesses the thoughts.

To feel the energy in that awareness, to feel that that awareness is what gives us life, it is what animates our body. It is the source of our body’s warmth and vitality.

If we then focus on that awareness and with prayer direct our attention and our thoughts and feelings to it and through it up to its origin (our Being) and make with our will and heart the effort to join with, be with, to find peace with, find security with, find support from, find wisdom from, find strength from, find purpose and identity from. Then the more we do it the more it will start to gel and come to us.

Base Begins to Be Created

We create a base in our Being when we understand with our consciousness or understand deeply that we are not just a person with a family, job, position, money maker etc., but that we are an essence and our happiness, security, peace, strength, force, vitality, purpose, identity comes from our own essence.

Then if a loss appears in our life, the pain that always comes from any kind of loss will not be so bad, or at least manageable. The stronger and deeper our base is in our work, consciousness and Being the less the pains of loss will affect us.

We can prepare for losses which are so inevitable in life right now by doing such a practice. Repeat it and repeat it until it sinks in!
