Some notes from misc. talks

 Note:  I can’t always find dates on the tapes I have.

 Hope you enjoy these ideas-


(In regards to what being thankful feels like) :

I feel real light and nice inside and glow a little bit and the eyes sparkle a little bit when I’m thankful.

(Baptism: washed from one’s addiction to the Not-I’s. To disidentify and take charge of the self)

(Inner considering self centeredness of how what you’re doing affects me- infant-) everyone else has to grow up so I won’t have to be bothered with it.

(External considering- you don’t have to grow up for me to be okay. You’re not obligated to make me feel good.)

Influence

 Everyone influences those about self and thus one lives in that which one radiates. No one has total control of their circumstances, however, anyone can and does have a decided influence over their circumstances.

For instance, have a serene interested inner feeling, and see that everyone you are in contact with is doing what that person perceives to be the right, proper or justifiable thing to do at that moment, and you will then be radiating peace and wisdom. This influences the current circumstances toward peace and love. It matters not whether you are alone, with children, with family, with business people or in traffic — you will see the results of your radiation, your influence.

Now, experiment with radiating this influence. Be very uptight because it is very important that you be non-disturbed; see others as knowing how important you are, but that they are inconsiderate of you. See that they know what is right, but they are going on and doing wrong anyway. Now stop and notice how what you are radiating is influencing your environment and circumstances. 

If one cares to repeat these experiments a few times, one can be extremely aware that the teaching statement “You live in what you radiate” is a very profound and useful statement of fact.

Remember, each of us is radiating, our inner feeling, our mood, and how we choose to see persons, things,  and happenings all the time, and that what we radiate influences the environment, our associates, strangers, even plants in ‘my’ sphere of existence.

The choice of what one radiates is a great spiritual gift that few of us realize they have why neglect so great a gift?

From notes

 Logo=meaning 

Meaning of Life=Awareness

Awareness implies understanding 

Understanding implies Agape (love)

Living human life without love is to be existing without meaning.

Love is not to be equated with pity, sentimentality, desire to possess, the feeling that arises on being rejected, or the feeling that arises on realizing that something or someone cannot be possessed.

Not the man who has much, but the man who is much is the fully developed truly human man.

The thing we fear is the image making ability of the mind.

Being asleep or awake, depends on being responsible or not responsible for the images in the mind.

As long as I have any conditioning, any meditation, that really is meditation will be concerned with the conditioning.

(Phenomena)

Once the individual has come to the end of disintegration, the mediation is for wisdom to use the glory of spirit.
