Self-Remembering





I would strongly advise any student 
against thinking that it was their efforts alone 
that induced self-remembering.

A machine cannot remember itself, 
at best it can have a connection 
to the outside world through the lower centers 
and an instinctive awareness of its surroundings.

The act of self-remembering 
is when something "Other" than the machine 
kicks in or connects, and how can that happen?

I put it to you that when you are not present 
and suddenly that familiar connection occurs, 
that it is something outside the machine that "arrives".

At this point, you can make a right effort 
and try to prevail 
and sustain the state for a little while longer.

This is after all what you are studying at the Academy,
"The Art of sustaining the Will of God". 
You begin by trying to do "Thy Will on earth moment by moment".

Each moment you are present on earth so is C Influence.

Have Courage...


Nicolas-Guy Brenet

“Have courage for the great sorrows of life 
and patience for the small ones; 
and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task,
go to sleep in peace. God is awake.”

There Was a Harmony...


Terence Beesley

There was a harmony between all my centers, 
my head was quiet of those i's. 
My heart was open and my body was just doing. 
I felt I was breathing in a new way. 
As if air was going through me ... 
through all my centers in a new way;  
and that feeling is still here with me today.
It feels like Resting in God.

When I have a moment...

Friedrich Overbeck

When I have a moment of presence/ Love 
with another soul and the majesty of God 
is reflected and felt within my heart and soul, 
I am reminded of this magnificence 
beyond "Doing" and am held in mighty "Being".
It is incredible to keep being this "Reminder" for one another ... 
and our true rest and being is in God's hands.

It is in Entering the State of God...




It is in entering the state of God 
that we experience completeness and freedom. 
In that Light there is faith that 'Thy Will Be Done'. 
In the thought of God, 
in God, there is Harmony, 
there is alignment in between all worlds, there is union. 
It is a state where the nothing and everything are merging.

It Does Not Matter...

It does not matter how slowly you go 
so long as you do not stop.

I Was Realizing...

August Rodin

I was realizing
how difficult the birth of inspiration can be....
this expression of the soul
The trust that must be developed 
to allow the soul to express 
these deepest and most beautiful realizations into reality, 
making them a reality for others too.

In Life...




In life we are so consumed by i's, 
and the big i's - the big demons  
become the crosses that we carry. 
We carry these crosses 
whether or not we do it unconsciously 
or willingly.
In life
we are consumed by the burden of our cross. 
We can see especially in others 
since we buffer it how in life, 
people are closed down 
and attached to their sufferings;  
it's so easy and natural. 
Yet as students, 
we are asked to hold our crosses,
 to accept it, to see our suffering in a different way.
Like the bird of our souls 
flying over the earth of our lives,  
and in this acceptance, 
our possibilities become open to us.

This Gift of Love...



This gift of Love is shared amongst us in so many ways, 
when we are pierced and opened to higher influences, 
barriers and disruptions on our path disappear.... 
the third force of Love accumulates its strength, 
guidance and wisdom into the being 
no matter what the circumstance. 
Like the element water 
there is a way for it to seep into us 
and slowly saturate the being.

As Conscience Grows...

I Tried to Observe...


I tried to observe the moments when that voice 
(not the conscience) tried to steal the moment. 
It happened quite often 
and the realization 
that we must use time to our advantage 
in pausing always before listening too seriously to the chatter, 
or offering words in response.

THE PAUSE, 
is not a sign of lack of response, but a sign of strength.

I Am Convinced...



 “I am convinced that one of the major reasons 
we’re here is for the Soul and therefore for the Gods to see, 
feel and hear, and experience creation in all its forms.

So whatever your machine is doing, 
share it with the Soul. 
It will not judge you, it only wants to learn. 
So if you are painting a room or kissing a girl, 
let the Soul in on it. That is the work.

 The triad is wrong 
if one thinks there has to be conditions to start Self-Remembering.”

 Thank youI love each one of you so much.

Observe the I's ....




Observe the I's .... 
remember yourself. 
But looking at it in this way, 
I am more inspired to open up to a different picture of the process. 
Like Alice sitting at the table 
with all the character eventually coming to love each one in a way, 
accept each crazy character.. 
as part of our play, yet not the real US. 
There is a distinction there, 
not to judge as "observing" could imply 
but to gently take charge and begin to understand in a new level.
