- If you do not know what initiates the actions you take, then there is no "you" choosing to do anything at all.
- Why would we limit the impressions that come with an unwanted moment? Why would we limit any impression at all, especially when it is these impressions that ultimately lead (through reactions) to our actions?
- Within us there is a door that leads to another order of consciousness, but more often than not we prefer to stay in the interior rooms that we are already familiar with.
- We live in a world of ceaseless influences, high and low, and those influences set the stage for all of the experiences we have in life. Those influences ceaselessly act upon us, and they are Divine in origin.
- Influences create impressions. Impressions determine our actions. When there is no awareness of the impressions, then there is no awareness of what is dictating our actions.
- The rejection of an impression is the same as the refusal to be conscious of the influence that gave rise to the impression. This puts us in a world of a reactive "self" that is trying to protect itself from the impression based upon its judgment of what is good and what is bad.
- Judgment blocks the awareness of an impression.
- We must learn to accept the full impression, unedited. The impression is there to help you reconnect with the Divine.
- There is no such thing as a punishing impression of itself. Identification with the reaction to the impression is what leads to feeling like you are being punished. The rejection of the impression is what produces the anxiety.
- A reaction to an impression is the same as judgment and analysis of the impression.
- The lower level of consciousness does not want any impression that is not already part of what it thinks it is.
- The task is to receive impressions, whatever they may be, without judging them, or at least to be aware what is judging. There is no impression that is not Divine in nature. "He makes the sun to shine upon good and evil alike."
- Something that says it already knows is the same as something telling you what you can or cannot do, which is the same as something telling you what the limit of your possibilities are.
- Leave the impression alone. Let it reveal to you the reason why it has come to you in the first place.
- The more awake that a person is, the less he or she knows.
- Rejecting the impression that has been given to you in the moment is the same as pretending to be something that you are not.
- Impressions are intended to fall upon something within us that perfectly reflect those impressions.
