You can make more of a fresh start with this very
note than you might imagine when you lurch into the next note.
Almost all the people you know do not want real solutions
to the problems that keep cropping up in their life and their
world. They just like talking to you and others to get attention
or to exploit. Such is the sad fact of human nature which you
should try to face more consciously at this time. Do you understand
why you had to be told this just now?
When you are whole and natural in yourself it permits you
to do the right work or enjoy the right pleasure or study the
right teaching without it involving you in stupid problems
with other people. Can you be whole and natural in yourself
without neurotic reactions, doing ill-timed work, engaging
in self-harming pleasure or reading the wrong books? Can you
see your fragmentation and thus develop a better sense of direction?
Before you go down to the next note,
will you please understand that the awakening you need is not
a personal achievement of your physical ego? Will you also
realize that it is not going to be the excitement of some weirdly
occult hyper-sensation?
Suspend what you normally do about anyone or anything, which
includes even this note. The natural
development of genuine higher awareness is a total inaction toward
anyone or anything that disturbs, confronts or challenges you.
You must see directly and completely without bringing your
knowledge or your memories of the past. You must be fully of the
present looking at the present without separative, dualistic
action or reaction. Whatever your inaction naturally
and spontaneously does without selfish calculation will be
the truly real and ultimate action.
Right here , yet again, you must
take a deeply creative pause and learn to focus the real issue. Do you understand this? There is no cheap and easy way of increasing
your real intelligence or keeping yourself on a higher level
of awareness. It is a very subtle and difficult hard work which
has nothing to do with imitation, conformity or merely being
entertained by strange writings. Please make up your mind to
do the subtle, higher work on yourself before going ahead to
the next note. Each note contains
an important cognitive task that you need to fulfil.
One thing you might want to notice is that when you engage
deeply with all this, not merely superficially with witty remarks
or distracted judgments, there is a peculiar stirring within
the cells of your body. This is not something under your control,
it is not something you can manipulate, but it is a transformative
process you can attune yourself to for higher unfolding of
your awareness. Will you allow this deeply physical new energy
and its feeling to sweep away your inner and outer barriers
and difficulties?
If you awaken in deeper
and deeper depths of yourself, you are feeling an intense
fire of awareness all throughout your being, which is more
alive than your usual living, more intense than your usual
intensity. This fire of awakening burns with a clarity that
sees through the normal world and all of humanity’s
self-deceptive disasters and conflicts. Do you have this fire
of awakening going on in yourself now? Are you using these “notes” to
feed it?
Do you know what it means to step outside for a few minutes
and experience the total light of beauty that is inseparable
from your own awakening intelligence, sensitivity and awareness?
Do you know what it means to suspend time, ambition and neurotic
worry so that something vast and supremely real can enter into
you?
