Realize Your True Self and Be Released from Tension and Fear
Posted: Thursday, February 15, 2024
Meeting: Wednesday, February 14, 2024
Duration: 58min 29sec
Key Lesson
Part 1
The witness to experience is not bound by it.
Part 2
It's impossible to enjoy any moment in life, while fearfully trying to control it at the same time... that is, unless your idea of pleasure is the pain of making impossible demands on "others," not to mention upon yourself.
Part 3
Every true self-discovery is the revelation of a lost correlation between our consciousness and our realization of its pre-existing relationship with whatever we have been given to see, and experience in that same moment.
Exercise
When you feel like you can't stay with the disturbance of the moment, understand your only hope is to remain with the pain of that disturbance. Everything created suffers, and it's impossible to know why you're experiencing what you're experiencing. Remain in the moment of transformation instead of running from it. Let it take its course. Stay true and honest to what has brought you to a revelation in the moment. Don't analyze your suffering; it is a distraction. Take on the suffering that you must, in order to be changed into a new being by a Being greater than itself. You are not bound by what you see. Realize that who and what you are is ever changing, and that whatever you are experiencing in the moment is exactly what it's like to be a human being. This understanding will free you from the consciousness that is forever trying to distract itself from what it doesn't want to be.
