Before we get on
with the next note
and the rest of the session, you should try to answer a very
simple question: Have you discovered something
new about yourself today that you truly never saw before?
If there is such a thing, you will notice that you have
been getting semi-conscious intimations of it lately, but today
it fully emerged inescapably in your consciousness.
For any reader who did not discover
a new thing about herself or himself today, the question becomes:
Do you know why you have not
discovered something new about yourself today? Try to
see the implications of carrying on day-by-day without making
new discoveries about yourself before you go on to the next note.
To make a new discovery
about ourself can be anything from a glimpse of our real
Divine selfhood on its own cosmic level right on down to
an unpleasant fact of our physical everyday semi-conscious
self that worries and struggles in and through the brain. Which
self, for instance, are you centered in when reading or considering this particular
Note?
Are you able
to see anything new about yourself at this present moment
in time? Please look
into this possibility before you read the next note.
This note
has another question for you to answer to yourself before
you go on to the next Note: Can
anything new in your life be of any real value if you are not
new yourself to meet it?
This note
must now ask you the logical next question: Do
you know how to become a new self that is not stuck in your
old, usual self?
Do you understand the importance of learning to ask yourself
the right questions about yourself every day
and not just once in awhile?
Think of what you had
hoped to yourself several years ago to have achieved by now,
but have failed to do so. How do you
really feel about this failure of yours? Do you blame
circumstances or difficulties with certain people? Or
do you blame yourself for some fatal laziness, procrastination
or lack of personal power or lack of capacity? How do
you explain your failure to yourself? Does it upset you
sometimes? Or do you cover it up and try to pretend it
no longer matters? Or do you see it as an immature, silly
ideal or aspiration that is best to drop so that you can pursue
more mature and useful goals? Is it a matter of learning
to make fresh and better effort? Or is it a matter of
disillusionment about your potential and thus learning to adjust
to sober reality on more solid ground? How do you answer
before you go on to the next note?
Of course it could take you days, weeks or even months
to fully answer to yourself on such questions. Will you
just forget them and carry on?
What has changed about
your main goal in life today as compared to a few years ago? Try
to answer this to yourself before you go on to the next note.
Are you a kinder, gentler,
more loving and compassionate and understanding person than
you used to be? Or, are you a
colder, harsher, more unforgiving, ruthless and judgmental
person than you used to be? Take a real look at any change
of character you have gone through in the last few years. Are
you more free and generous or are you more tough and mean?
Are you more helpful, caring and responsible; or are
you more bitter, self-pitying and irresponsible? What
have you become for better or worse? Before you go on
to the next Note
Session, ask yourself what you see you most need to do about
your inner nature, your character, for the sake of your real
human development beyond acquiring occult powers or getting
into unusual experiences. What will it take to be able to feel
better about yourself?
