Working With Negative Vanity...

 

Nakayama Koyo

Working with negative vanity, 

I realize that no matter how serious the issue is 

“life goes on.” 

So, if I die, life will carry on. 

I don’t mean to sound morbid, 

but this is the way life and being present is. 

If we are present to life 

we realize it just goes on and on and on 

from one I to the next. 

One day is dramatic Queen stuff 

and the next is silly Jack stuff. 

This is one way 

I have been able to see the difference 

between observing and taking the moment higher. 

If I just observe the Queen day without taking it higher, 

it goes into memory temporarily. 

This is memory which can be used by the machine 

to get negative or identified later. 

But when the moment is taken higher, 

the memory is just as it is; 

a moment beautified by having been present 

and the soul remembers it forever 

as it was without identification.

In Order To Be Assimilated...

 

Dave Petersen

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.

I Think...

 

I think that the process of observation 

is one that never ends in this work. 

With observation 

there is a refinement that can occur. 

Self-remembering 

is a third force for this refinement. 

There is an opportunity to learn 

in almost every moment.

I Am Still....

 

I am still very much digesting 

one of the earliest observations and verifications 

I made when I joined the Academy; 

that with self-remembering 

one has a choice. 

We make an observation about our mechanics 

and see how we lose energy, 

or that we become negative, etc. 

We see that this works 

against our aim to be present 

and awaken in this lifetime. 

So, we then have the choice 

to work with the “thing” we observed or not.

Our Work...

 

Our work 

is to ground down the star stuff- to digest, 

to verify, to purify the star stuff – 

and it becomes the living word of the highest. 

It is our experience and how we live it, 

digest it, and share it. 

We are doing the work of the higher.

The Truth...

 

Sofia Ruiz

The truth is that the universe 

has been answering you

all of your life,

but you cannot receive the answers 

unless you are awake.
