During This Process...

During this process 

of keeping my intention on this topic, 

reading, remembering my own experience, 

listening to Mervyn, 

the entire review and subsequent discovery 

showed me in practice 

that the level of these ideas forces us into our kings. 

Like we have to activate the highest within us 

to begin to be able to receive. 

My inner world has gotten more in the last day 

than perhaps the last week 

from these efforts and the work is so big 

that there are so many different points to aim at. 

States have happened as well 

and it reminds me 

of the diagram of the chain of beings 

that looks like a snake ascending. 

That we our body is food for the earth 

and there is a part of us that yields up 

as food for the beings that represent H12. 

To make ourselves palatable to feed and receive 

it take immense aspiration. 

All-consuming if you would, 

on one side, or the other. 

‘A’ influence or ‘C’.

Understanding...

 

Ilse Kleyn

Understanding 

is a combined function of all centres. 

Each centre separately can only know; 

when they combine all their knowledge, 

this gives understanding. 

To understand something 

one needs at least three centres. 

Right understanding requires a right attitude.

~P.D. Ouspensky, The Fourth Way

Accepting Our Type

Rembrandt - A Woman in Bed

"False personality does not want you to be in essence.

It is dissatisfied with who you are.

Every phenomenon is a stick, 

it has a good end and a bad end.

What we tend to look at is only the bad end.

With that bad end of the stick, is the impulse 

to work against what we are.

At some time you have to accept the machine 

that you are in. This is a big pill to swallow.

When you learn your type you can minimize 

the denying force your machine brings you. 

For example, other types of machines. 

A passive type may have to stand up to an active type.

One has to keep experimenting to practice your art.

The higher you go the more you have to lose.

You have to learn about body types 

so that the body can talk to the soul — 

not the other way around.

If you know types you can be the master of any situation.

Even if you lose you can be the master 

by learning from your loss."

Mervyn, April 21st, 1998

Understanding...

 

AI generated 

Understanding is not only a function of effort 

both to digest knowledge 

and strive to realize its experience, 

it is also a function of time. 

The understanding of a conscious teacher 

cannot be transmitted in full to anyone directly. 

No one would understand. 

Everything in the work is so intimately personal 

and comes from our own direction and undertaking, 

our own desire to realize each stage of the work.

The Cupola...

 

The Cupola is a beautiful structure 

and has the opening directly in the middle of it, 

where the "real I" CAN LOOK. 

Years ago, in Mexico 

I was in a monastery, 

and there was a room with a cupola 

and below it a coffin 

where the monks were laid out at their funeral. 

The realisation was, for me at that time, 

that the soul escaped and saw the entire gardens 

and place where it had lived. 

That this room 

was an objective space for it to see in the moment 

of release after the body had died, 

everything it had lived in that space of the monastery, 

all the rose gardens 

and surrounding areas of the monastery from a higher place.
