Student Q&A with Guy on "The Truth that Sets Us Free is Self-Unity" (10/5/22)
Posted: Thursday, October 6, 2022
Meeting: Wednesday, October 5, 2022
Duration: 15min 34sec
Topics Covered
When you have heard the truth, you are forever in debt to it. What has been seen cannot be unseen.
Heavy spirits, worried and anxious people, or ambitious people who refuse to see themselves cannot find freedom.
Why would you give your attention to something that gives you an experience that you don't want?
Most of what you experience is produced by your attention being on something that was given to you by an unconscious nature.
There would not be a frantic search for freedom unless something in us first felt a sense of captivity.
Imagination can never produce the sense of contentment that it believes it can.
The physical body is always here, but the mind enters into the land of becoming whenever it resists a disturbance.
The mind does not know that it is the disturbance that it is trying to escape. But the mind can never escape from itself. It can only go into imagination.
The unconscious, divided mind only knows what it wants, and therefore simultaneously what it doesn't want.
The distance between what I am and what I want to be exists only because there is a consciousness that is fragmented and must imagine a time when it will be other than it is, because it does not want what it presently is.
Psychological time is the creation of a mind that is trying to escape itself through imagining what it should be.
If you cannot be at peace where you are and with what you are doing, then when and where are you ever going to be at peace?
The mind is in conflict because it is trying to find peace.
There is no rest for a consciousness that imagines that it shouldn't be what it is.
You have a life of your own whenever you catch the temptation to go into the land of becoming.
The full awareness of yourself includes the awareness of something that has been pushing you.
There is no such thing as psychological fear in the present moment. Fear only exists in the land of becoming.
Whatever imagination perceives to be the source of peace is in reality the source of your pain.
No one arrives anywhere real in the "Land of Becoming" because it exists only in the "State of Imagination"...
... a false, but dynamic realm governed by the "Prince of Duality" who, though already overthrown, remains the dark power that oversees the lost "Kingdom of the Divided Mind."
