If you can really listen totally to what is in just one,
single note, you will discover the meaning
of all meanings, which has an elegance, an inexhaustible
depth of growing understanding. But normally you do not listen totally.
Your listening (if you will observe it with full attention)
has always got some opinion or viewpoint of your own that you
use to judge what you hear. So you cannot listen with open,
innocent simplicity of being, with inner silence. There is
always an injection of your particular knowledge, conclusions,
beliefs or disbeliefs, prejudices. So, before you go on to
the next note, will you suspend your
usual brain-setting with its noise of argument and contradiction?
Remember: each note needs open, total
listening or there is no benefit worth anything for you in
all this.
Let’s be very clear about the way
of reading and listening, of the need of an inner quiet depth
without intellectual argument or emotional reaction. Even
a gushing, positive emotion of admiration should be seen
as a useless disturbance with its own secret hopes and demands.
Can you face all this clearly right now even before you go
on to the next note?
Can you be relaxed but keenly alert when you go into this note?
Do you understand what is the real challenge for you here?
Do you see the need to look beyond mere words? Words can either
carry or block a vibration, a transmission of pure meaning
or an energy of higher intention. Words block where
there is confusion, where there is only an outer form of communication
on the surface. To unblock, there must be a telepathic communion,
an alert, empathetic awareness of inner truth. Then and only
then can the incredible thing happen for you as we go along
here.
This note is for the extremely
rare total listener who will commune in the unlimited inner
space of pure being, who will not bring some neurotic problem
or confusion into all this.
Most of our readers here cannot listen with total depth and
scope. They want some result from all this that they have in
mind, they want to achieve a neurotic goal of the social self
that is absorbed in the state of the world and the problems
of collective dullness, distraction and pretence. So they miss
what all this is really about. If they cannot use something
here to help them succeed with some neurotic ambition or desire,
they become disappointed and go away or they stay and shout
their nonsense into the wind, but in either case, they cannot
withstand the Power of Notes. They
cannot see that they are simply not handling the energy of
all this. The social self is easily overloaded when
it receives something from an anonymous, non-social source. It cannot receive what it receives because it has an agenda.
As long as you are comparing, computing and conquering for
your own social self (your neurotic ego that worries about
who you can influence or how others seem to have great influence)
you cannot truly listen and hear the beauty of all this, which
is beyond social influencing.
There will be further notes, further sessions,
but they will be useless for you if you cannot come upon an
inner silence of real being in your awareness. Only very rare
people will appreciate the importance of this issue. “Many
are called but few are chosen.” Real and pure being chooses
only those who set aside their own choices and neurotic purposes.
