Student Q&A with Guy on "Cancel Any Negative Reaction with One Simple Realization" (1/15/23)

  • Posted: Monday, January 16, 2023
  • Meeting: Sunday, January 15, 2023

  • Duration: 38min 11sec

Topics Covered
  • If you respond to a truth that you have read or heard, it is because there is a corresponding part in you that is a reflection of that truth.
  • Resistance comes before any negative reaction. And the source of unconscious resistance is unconscious comparison.
  • Whatever it is that resists any disturbance is already there in our consciousness before the event. The disturbance simply stirs the nature that resists it.
  • Our hope lies in awareness of the consciousness that is unaware of itself.
  • You have been given the capacity to be aware of the nature that has a negative reaction before that reaction takes place.
  • Our conditioned perception of any moment is based on the past and memory and expectations.
  • A condition that is seemingly happening outside of us cannot come across as threatening without there also being a corresponding identity that feels threatened by the condition.
  • You cannot give a blow to another without first and foremost feeling the pain of the blow yourself.
  • Psychological fears are culturally created and play out in the realm of negative imagination. Society as it is today serves to perfect those fears.
  • We have been perfectly conditioned to believe in our own negative reactions.
  • You do not have any obligation to respond to a negative reaction. Your responsibility is to be aware of it.
  • Every time you catch yourself about to hammer someone, there is a shift in consciousness in which you see that it is a consciousness that is about to hammer itself. When you lay the hammer down, you lay yourself down.
  • Hating yourself is consciousness hammering itself, believing that it makes sense to hurt itself for not being what it imagines it ought to be.
  • There is no such thing as another person's shoes. We are all walking in the same shoes. It's the same consciousness.

The Passage

We are conditioned to accept, without question, the resistance we feel toward any unwanted moment -- along with our subsequent negative reaction to it -- as proof of the reason why that condition is to be feared; so that it never dawns on us --as it must, if we are ever to be free -- the real problem is not the condition we're given to see as responsible for our pain. Rather, this suffering is born of (our unseen) identification with some form of unconscious conditioning.

And yet, it is within our growing awareness of this fact -- that we have been incarnated into, and raised under the influence of an unconscious nature that continues to condition itself by trying to escape its own negative reactions -- that we find the key to our liberation from the dark realm of its compulsive imaginings.

So, it isn't a better dream that we need; what's needed is to awaken from the dreamer, wherein the realization that we must let go -- "sell all" that we have been -- is the same as our passage into a New Order of Being.
