Ordinarily impressions
are received in a mechanical way.
They are received by our personality,
which reacts with automatic thoughts and feelings
that depend on its conditioning.
We do not assimilate impressions
because personality itself cannot be alive—
it is dead.
In order to be assimilated and transformed,
impressions have to be received by essence.
This requires a conscious effort
at the moment of the impression.
And it requires a definite feeling,
a feeling of love for being,
for being present.
We must respond to impressions
no longer from the vantage point of personality
but from love for being present.
This will transform our whole way of thinking and feeling.
~Jeanne De Slazmann, The Reality of Being
