How to Change One’s Consciousness, Part 2: Following the Clues to Spiritual Awakening Within

1
00:00:01,700 --> 00:00:05,100
We rightly recognized that
memory is not the same as a

2
00:00:05,100 --> 00:00:10,400
living experience, yet the power
of memory holds a key for those

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,200
who wish to undertake Spiritual
Development.

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,200
We see this in the context of
religious and spiritual

5
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:21,800
Pursuits, that rely on the power
of memory in some form to renew

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,700
and actualize experiences.
The simplest process is to

7
00:00:26,700 --> 00:00:30,500
recall and reflect on the peak
spiritual experiences that one

8
00:00:30,500 --> 00:00:35,600
has had, it may help to
visualize the circumstances as

9
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:40,000
one recalls the memory.
It may help to recreate the

10
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,500
surroundings or the environment
within which the event occurred

11
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,400
although this is frequently not
possible.

12
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,400
But for instance, if one had a
special opening in a Forest

13
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:56,600
Grove, OR on a hill or in an
isolated meditation cave,

14
00:00:57,300 --> 00:01:01,900
returning to that Locale can
trigger in many cases, a renewal

15
00:01:01,900 --> 00:01:07,500
of the feeling the awareness and
even the experience itself or a

16
00:01:07,508 --> 00:01:12,800
similar one, at the very least,
many times, an individual will

17
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,800
follow a practice routine to
enter into a state of

18
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,100
meditation.
And this routine may include a

19
00:01:19,108 --> 00:01:23,400
specific scent of incense
specific triggering sounds such

20
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:28,300
as a teen shot or Bell being
rung, a specific piece of music

21
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,800
or a recitation.
In other cases in individual,

22
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,200
May simply remember the
circumstances and call up the

23
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:42,000
memory for instance if one had a
particularly intense experience

24
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,700
in a temple or a mushroom
Without physically visiting the

25
00:01:47,700 --> 00:01:52,400
evocation of the memory may
suffice to recreate the mood

26
00:01:52,900 --> 00:01:57,300
feeling and receptivity needed
for a new spiritual experience

27
00:01:57,300 --> 00:02:02,500
to emerge note that chasing past
spiritual experiences.

28
00:02:02,900 --> 00:02:08,600
And expecting them to reoccur is
not often fruitful the important

29
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:13,900
point is to create the mood of
Readiness and receptivity and

30
00:02:13,900 --> 00:02:16,300
the Turning of the awareness
Restored.

31
00:02:16,300 --> 00:02:19,700
The spiritual reality that
occurs when one does.

32
00:02:19,700 --> 00:02:25,000
So once one is focused on the
spiritual experience, the next

33
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,500
step is to understand the
implications of that experience.

34
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,400
Find out what it is providing as
guidance for one's life, actions

35
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,800
and Direction and then work to
bring those things to life.

36
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,200
The mother notes quote.
These experiences come to you

37
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,300
suddenly in a Flash for a
second, a moment in your life.

38
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,400
You don't know why or how there
are other things other

39
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,800
experiences they are
innumerable, they vary according

40
00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:00,400
to people.
But with this with 1 minute 1,

41
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,800
second of such an existence, one
catches, the tail of the thing.

42
00:03:05,500 --> 00:03:08,500
So, one must remember that try
to relive it.

43
00:03:08,700 --> 00:03:13,500
You go to the depths of the
experience recall, it Aspire

44
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,100
concentrate.
This is the starting point, the

45
00:03:18,100 --> 00:03:22,400
end of The Guiding thread, the
clue for all those who are

46
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,200
destined to find their, inner
being the truth of their being.

47
00:03:26,900 --> 00:03:30,200
There's always at least one
moment in life when they were no

48
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,300
longer the same, perhaps just
like a lightning flash.

49
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,500
But that is enough.
It indicates the road one.

50
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:44,000
Take it is the door that opens
on this path and so you must

51
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,700
pass through the door and with
perseverance and an unfailing

52
00:03:48,700 --> 00:03:53,200
steadfastness seek to renew the
state which will lead you to

53
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:59,600
something more real and more
total in quote preference SRI
