How to Step Out of the Dark Waves of Any Unwanted Moment (Remastered Classic Talk)
Posted: Thursday, March 27, 2025
Meeting: Wednesday, March 26, 2025
Duration: 1hr 1min 50sec
Key Lesson
Part 1
Being responsible for our negative reactions begins with becoming aware of them. For instance, until we can observe and learn what it means to be consciously passive to our own negative reactions then what else can we do but go on identifying with them and embracing, by default, the false perception that someone or something else is responsible for our pain.
Part 2
Just as blowing on a spark helps ignite it, along with the materials that surround it, so does naming any psychological pain enflame it until -- as is intended by the lower level of self that loves any super heated feeling -- all that's left is the ashes of our own higher spiritual possibilities.
Special Writing
Statement of Spiritual Science
If you wish to be released from the painful patterns of negative reactions including resentments, regrets, frustration and anger, then ponder this statement of spiritual science until you see for yourself, from yourself, what must be done to set yourself free:
The moment the three forces of creation and their concurrent (act of) revelation turn into any form of self-confirmation – via the mechanism of unconscious imagination – the natural creative power of celestial resistance turns into the unnatural earthly expression of negative emotion...that can only recreate, and then recycle itself as it seeks a way to bring an end to the pain of itself.
