As you do with each retreat, you talk to other people studying Gnosis and you learn from them. Really each person who has studied Gnosis for some time, has valuable conscious experience with the teachings to share...
While talking to someone, the topic of the 'end of times' came up and among the many impactful reflections that this someone shared, the following statement stood out:
"the apocalypse is for the ego not the consciousness"
We are very worried about the end of times or the external apocalypse. We don't know that we also live an internal apocalypse when we work on ourselves...
If we understand and come to terms with our own internal apocalypse the external end of times will be much easier to cope with.
Anyway, the point was that the apocalypses both internal and external is really for the ego. It is a process to break down the ego, its creations and structures, both in the world and inside of ourselves.
The apocalypse is for the consciousness to live on in greater freedom and expression.
So really it is the ego outside and inside that is worried about the apocalypse, the consciousness inside of us is not so concerned, it may well be very understanding of and appreciative of it...
End (4946).
