You have to make some fresh, new and creative effort about
your consciousness before you read the next note.
Take your time about this. You know, none of this is about
merely rushing from note to note in a state of superficial
excitement about aliens or the self-destructive stupidity of
the Earth humanity and their insane, lying leaders.
This note would point out yet again
that you most urgently need a fresh, creative effort about
your consciousness. This implies that you are not consciousness
itself as such, but that you as a being have consciousness
just as you have a body and have eyes to
see and a brain to misunderstand
notes.
Fresh, sparkling new, generative activation of greater and
subtler awareness. Is this a problem for
you? Is it some kind of puzzle or mystery?
Does it feel like a provocation? Does it feel like a needed reminder of an opportunity?
Does it come upon you as a blessing or
perhaps an empowerment? What is it
with you?
Can you give yourself a voluntary sudden big awakening of
dramatically greater awareness just because someone or some
note suggests that you do it? Is wanting to
do it enough to do it? Or is it that some higher power has
to take the opportunity of the suggestion and give you a secret
inner boost that is out of your hands? Please look into this
as deeply as you possibly can right now before the next note.
Let us say that you resolve to immediately never
drink coffee again because it is materially impure and bad
for your physical health or to never become angry or nasty
again because it is mentally impure and bad for your psychological
health. Let us further say that you want this immediate change
because you have been believing Krishnamurti about not taking
time on good changes because taking time just maintains the
problem, the bad habit, the bad reaction tendency. So you go
for immediate cessation of the self-harming thing. Yet, in
spite of this voluntary resolve of your “free will”,
you find yourself stuck in the usual habit or tendency. You
even have to admit that you are mysteriously driven by some
terrible power in your old ways to keep your old ways going.
You find yourself inwardly forced to
supposedly “choose” to keep up the bad habit or
tendency. Your ideal self-improvement is revealed as out
of your hands. Is that not also an area where
the intervention of some higher power on your behalf would
be the only thing that would give you progress toward a better
personal condition? Please look as deeply into this as you
can before you read the next note.
Exhortations do come
to you that you tend to try to agree with: “Be more awake and aware!” “Drop
that bad habit now!” “Stop
having that awful reaction when you are provoked!” All
these sound right, yet you discover
that you do not seem to have the power to reach into yourself
and make certain important changes. So you begin to even become
rather depressed or disturbed or confused.
Then you are further exhorted to not cultivate depression,
disturbance, confusion or anxiety about your personal state.
You might even be further exhorted to “accept yourself
as you are!” or “give up on personal improvement
efforts, which are just ego-mania!” Look deeply into
all this, if you really can, before the next note.
Can you really choose to improve
yourself? Can you even really choose to
accept not being able to improve
yourself? Can you choose to believe
that you do not need improvement,
that you should just rot to death in an undeveloped state like
normal, average people do? Please look into all this, if you
have the power to freely and deeply look, before the next note.
Can you choose to take up a mantra,
zikr or self-hypnosis statement that would in fact give you
self-improvement power indirectly? Or is it that you still need power from beyond yourself, perhaps
from a powerful person, to be able
to faithfully sustain repetition of a mantra or statement to
the necessary degree to turn on self-improvement power? Is
not the ability to take up an empowering
mantra, zikr or self-hypnosis statement similar as the ability
to change a habit? Is it not itself already the problem of
sustaining self-improvement? Please look deeply into this,
if you can, before the next note.
Let us say that you “decide” to
try a mantra to increase your self-change power. But what
will you do if you cannot keep up sustaining faith in this mantra
or statement or that mantra or statement?
Where does the power of faith or sustaining power come from
if you are vacillating and confused about the mantra or statement
to adopt? How also would you go about having faith in some person to
choose your mantra and empower you to sustain it? What if you
actually were to sustain a mantra only to discover after awhile
that it is not giving you self-improvement power? Would you
seek a better, higher source of empowerment? Or would you just
give up on self-improvement and carry on futilely? Try, if
possible, to look deeply into all this before the next note.
Some great spiritual leaders
say that mantra, zikr or self- hypnosis statement repetition
is a dull, stupid waste of time that imprisons you in a tradition
or culture. Others say that it is useful
on certain occasions, but you of course have to somehow find
out what those occasions are or you have to have faith in a
teacher to tell you. Yet others say that without the
mantra, zikr or self-hypnosis statement you will never, never,
never get the missing self-improvement power and move forward
to your possible Divine perfection and immortality. If
any of this is an issue for you, can you resolve it? Do
you have the power to
resolve it? Does a higher power have to help you
resolve it? Please look deeply into all this before the next note
session.
