Transcend Objections Importance Of - (4309)

Master Samael said in the "Law of the Pendulum" lecture that human being object to so many things. 

He also said that the concepts expressed by the personality are fully subject to the law of the pendulum. Which is very true because at time the personality is ok with something and a year later it is ok with the very opposite.

The key to staying in the magic circle is to not object.  When we object we push the pendulum. When we object we are not accepting reality. To accept reality is to be in balance and to be in balance is to be in the centre of the magic circle.

When we object we oppose reality. We object to others and ourselves. 

Our outward objections make us a nuisance to others and our inner objections break our continuity of purposes and inner peace...

Overcomming the Law of the Pendulum - (4310)

Our work can become pendular. It is good to check this because a pendular work is one that does not move forward very far. 

There are at least three scenarios where the law of the pendulum functions and each scenario has a different remedy.

The changing opposites of life is what really make us to suffer. That is the pendulum. This is why we work to free ourselves from the pendulum because it is duality and duality is suffering. 

External Passive

This is where we receive the opposites in the different circumstances. A person is happy and upset with us, we succeed and we fail, things work out well, things don't work out, pleasant event, unpleasant event and so on.

The remedy is to not be in any of these two opposites. That is to not get identified.

Nature

This happens when we over give or under give. We may exaggerate something and because we gave surpassing our capacity we can not hold this up and so we get tired and swing the pendulum to the other side and do very little or nothing.

The remedy is to give smaller consistent amounts that is well within our capacity.

Internal Active

This is where we can be pendular in our practices. We practice one day and not the next. This is because of our emotions we feel like practicing one day and the next day we don't feel like practicing. Why because we identify with those inner emotions.

The remedy is then to not identify with what the different people inside of us say and feel.

General Remedy

The way I see things is that the pendulum is a major source of our sufferings. In other words duality. To surpass duality we need to be based or sitting firmly in something beyond duality. Which is in a value of the consciousness that breathes life independent of duality. 

If we suffer in relationships it is because we don't love with our consciousness. We love with something else. We love with some element that is identified with one side of duality. Identified to a degree that we believe that love only exists in one side of duality - the happy and good side. But really in truth the love of the consciousness loves beyond duality. When we are anchored in that love which is beyond duality we are at peace in our relationships.

Karma Unbelievable Characteristic - (4307)

Often when we see others or ourselves under karma we are left in a state of disbelief. 

Karma always has that aspect of having to accept. That is often the great challenge of any karma.

When we accept we begin to start paying. 

To accept is to begin to take responsibility. 

When take responsibility we take action to pay or to suffer consciously with the purpose of paying. 

When we pay suffer consciously in order to pay we also pay responsibly, which among many things means not to drag others into suffering.

The 'unbelievable' feeling is ultimately due to us not knowing ourselves well enough. The 'how could it be' feeling is also due to knowing ourselves well enough as well.

We can only resolve the 'unbelievable' feeling with knowing or either accepting

Remember What We Ask For - (4306)

We pray early in the morning for the day ahead. 

We pray to be shown what we need to be more conscious in our lives, what we need to learn (by undoing, unlearning) to be more conscious so that we can better co-operate with the realization of our Inner Being...

An event, an incident, something happens in the middle of our day and we forget what we asked for...

Meditation and Our Heart is About Listening - (4301)

Aren't we always listening in meditation. By listening to our thoughts, we can know that there are gaps in our thoughts. Because we can't hear our mind chattering away. 

We know there is silence or stillness in us all by listening. 

We feel peace when we go to the country and all we hear is silence...

We can listen to the heart as the heart speaks in its special way of feeling...

If we listen to our heart we can get guidance about our day and about our life from our inner Being or consciousness or essence or something deeper within us beyond our mind, egos and personality.

Our heart has something to say about how our life is going! We can listen to our heart to know truly how we are going from the prospective of our inner Being. If we hear something to not betray what we hear we must make changes if necessary.

Learning How to Listen Notes: The Selective - (4303)

A lot is really implied in that statement of learning how to listen...

So much more than I know. I only know a little bit and even applying that is difficult.

One thing I have found that we teach ourselves when we are learning how to listen is to be selective.

We are always listening. If someone or something is talking there is always someone listening. Whether it be our mind or consciousness or subconscious.

Everyone talks about selective listening which is usually when we are spoken to regarding our person and we only listen to the good things about ourselves and not the bad things. But there is another kind of selective listening which is where we chose what we listen from our inner dialogue and what others say.

For example we should not listen to the negativity of our inner dialogue that always takes us nowhere good. That negativity of our own inner dialogue harms us more than the negativity of others.

You know our own consciousness listens. But the fact is our consciousness listens in silence. We have to make our mind quiet and then we can listen to the silence. Which is really our own heart speaking through the space of awareness. That is, using awareness itself to speak and listen.

If there is the word there is listening. Listening is immutable like the word. If there is the word there is someone to listen to it. Everything in creation sounds so there is listening everywhere, listening is creation, as creation is what received the word of the creators. Creation was created because it listened to the word of the universe. 

When we really listen, our consciousness is changed, just as was primordial creation, the consciousness of the universe made creation after being changed by having listened to the word of the creator Elohim, who are plural.

Listening is a way into our interior world. Through listening we can enter into the now. Listening to the breath to the sounds of our environment is always now and our consciousness glows even brighter when we enter the now.

We should not listen to the lower values and the "I's" talking within us as they are the bad councilors.

End (4303).

Listening is Hard - (4302)

It's not easy to listen! You know that when you try. 

The trick is to not listen to our mind but to listen with our consciousness.

We start listening with our consciousness when we pay full attention.

With full attention we cause our consciousness to be present.

Then after a minute or so of paying full attention our consciousness begins to discern or see or feel or understand...

The consciousness first perceives what is hidden behind the words people say.

The consciousness is the one that can listen between the lines...

The wise listen more than speak...

With listening we can learn...

We can listen to everything so to be able to know about everything. This is because everything sounds in the universe.

What is important to us is to be able to listen to our heart, listen to our consciousness, listen to our God within, listen to people, listen to the teachings and so on...

End (4302).

Intimate Christ is an Emancipator - (4300)

When under any kind of oppression: karma, internal or external forces - we can pray intensely to our Intimate Christ. As that is His mission to free us from the chains of karma and the slavery of the different "I's" that we have.

He really helps no matter where we are on the path or even not on the path. It doesn't matter we just have to pray with sincerity and intensity.

End (4300).

We Serve Our Being - (4299)

Someone wishes to interrupt the appointment that you make with your Being in your practice time at night before sleeping or in the morning. Tell them to get approval from your Boss - your Being. 

There is the spirit that can be very helpful - the spirit of a faithful worker serving his or her Lord. 

It is true because it is Him in us that wishes to work and it is Him that directs the work.

By practicing we serve our Being allowing Him time and space to work in us.

Once Again Our Life and Day is Good Enough - (4298)

Work our day! What we have to do and what happens in our day is what we need. It is the raw material that we need to work on to create the new in us.

I'm telling myself that after seeing this point, what is needed is to invest our consciousness deeply into our day. Looking inside of ourselves deeply. Not letting the day pass by on the surface of our mind.

Our very own day is really good enough to learn many things that we truly need.

Darkness in Human Beings Does Note Recognise the Light in Human Beings - (5344)

A normal person would hate an angel, even if before spending time with an angel they swear by the Almighty that they would love an angel. But after meeting an angel and spending some time with an angel they would hate the poor angel.

The darkness in us - our egos, can not see or appreciate the virtues of an angel. The ego does not like the light and so no human being would be happy with an angel.

The light in an angel is real light and the light is not darkness. What each human being thinks the light is or should be, is not light.

We only see sparks of light in others. Because we only have sparks of light in ourselves. If we have only darkness in ourselves we will only see darkness in others even if they have a lot of light.

The conclusion is that we have to know the light to see it and appreciate it. The less "I's" we have the more we can see the light, that is the real light not what we think the light should be. 

Sometimes because we only see darkness in others it is because something in us is blocking us from seeing our own light. We may have a lot of light but because of this bias we don't see our light and so we don't see any light in what others do or say.

Capacity to Deal with the Anger of Others - (4297)

The anger of others provokes the anger that we have.

The anger of others connects to our anger in our subconscious and draws it out.

The anger of others helps us to dissolve ours. For a person who wants to free him or herself that is the very bottom line of motivation. We have to see the anger of others as motivation and help to dissolve ours. If we are serious about dissolving our own anger we can't see it as something for us to get more angry about. 

When we are weak or are caught in a moment of weakness we are prone to react with anger to the anger of others. 

The strength of a deep silence does not get angry.

The strength of a deep respect for oneself and others does not allow one to get angry.

The strength of love holds anger back.

The strength of intelligence knows not to get angry and sees a solution to diffuse the situation.

The strength of one's own dignity causes others to create respect for oneself. It is not a bad thing to get others to respect another human being. It is the start of peace after all.

It is said that Mandela worked slowly in the prison camp in which was in and despite being told to hurry up by the guards he continued to work slowly and held steadfast to that. Causing them to respect him, no matter how angry they got at him.

Relating to the Sexual Energy Points - (4296)

This post is point form and psychological in nature.

Sexuality is how we relate to our sexual energy.

How we relate to our own sexual energy has profound consequences in our life. Especially in our spiritual life.

Often this relationship with our sexual energy is ignored or not actively worked upon to experience the immense benefits of bringing such a relationship into the light.

In most human beings the relationship to the sexual energy is one that has been left in the dark or has sunken into the dark or simply has not been brought into the light.

To be finished later on...

About Stopping Lies - (4295)

I don't think we need to read about what they are. We just need to know about how to stop them.

What helps is to trust in the truth. We over time develop the belief that to lie saves our skin and keeps us out of trouble. 

Over time we come to trust in lies that they can get us out of trouble and prevent us from getting into trouble. But what we ignore is that lies bring more trouble when found out and anything built on a lie will crumble. 

A kind of inversion takes place where we trust in the power of the lie and distrust in the power of truth. Where reality tells us that it should be the reverse. That is trust in the power of the truth and distrust in lies.

We find lies useful, and so naturally we use lies and as we use them we create a habit.

We lie to others and to ourselves.

The lies to others are often done knowingly. However they may not be done knowingly after a person has become habituated to lying over many years where lying becomes a way of getting through life.

Lies to ourselves are often done unknowingly.

Each ego lies to ourselves. Our mind very often lies to us. It is up to us to notice and then not accept these lies.

We lie mainly due to some egoic vested interest. Most of these egoic interests are related to fear. We fear to lose some kind of well-being or peace or dignity or reputation or status, money, social standing, position in a company or group etc. etc.

Usually people have something to hide or cover up and so they lie. Or people just want to avoid conflict so they lie or don't say anything so that conflict does not arise. But often it does lead to conflict and it is worse in the end then not having said anything.  

So trusting that it is ok that people know about what we are doing or wanting to do. Often people appreciate openness and in being open we make ourselves more conscious of what we are doing, as we can't explain anything that does not have solid reason ethical reason behind it. Or either we should not do anything that needs to be covered up.

Interest in People Solution - (4294)

Sometimes I would hear things like "I have no interest whatsoever in this or that person" and treat this or that person in this or that way...

This never quite helped or worked for me. Because I have interest in everyone. I think we all have some kind of general interest that all people are healthy, safe and happy... This is the kind of interest I have in everyone. 

Driving to work this morning I finally solved my conundrum...

The key is to have interest and not have interest. Which is a paradox, it seems that paradoxes are the way our own consciousness at times works. 

Things quite often are solved with the consciousness by creating a paradox within us through the flexible understanding of the consciousness.

The paradox: "less is more" is a common example.

So the paradox which solves the puzzle is that we are to have interest in everyone but not be interested in our egoic psychology about people. 

I mean by that not be interested in our egoic processes towards people. Not be interested in our lustful processes towards a person, not be interested in our feelings of revenge towards a person, not be interested in the processes of control or distrust towards a person. Don't be interested in our own processes of resentment or ill-feeling towards a person. 

The right interest is this I feel...Interested but not interested...

Transmutation the Intelligent Balance - (4293)

When it comes to sex, there are the two opposites: abuse and celibacy. 

With abuse, one over uses sex and eventually becomes a slave to the sexual impulses and desires. With non-use one does not draw any benefit and ends up being against the creative force of God. 

The middle way or balanced way or the way of intelligence is to use sex for a spiritual or at least higher purpose.

This wise use of sex only really comes into effect when one transmutes the sexual energy. For as long we don't transmute the full wise use of sex will not eventuate.
