1
00:00:01,500 --> 00:00:05,500
Spirituality is not about having
an intellectual understanding.
2
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,600
There are methods described in
various Paths of spiritual
3
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:14,700
growth in books or in other
forms of instruction which have
4
00:00:14,700 --> 00:00:19,300
their potential benefit.
But they are not a replacement
5
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,500
for an actual inward experience
that changes.
6
00:00:22,500 --> 00:00:27,700
The texture of Consciousness for
the individual This experience
7
00:00:27,700 --> 00:00:30,000
may occur through pure
Serendipity.
8
00:00:30,700 --> 00:00:33,800
It may come upon one.
When one is least expecting it
9
00:00:34,700 --> 00:00:38,700
or it may show up in various
ways, through dream, through
10
00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:43,800
Visions through a feeling or
sense of compassion, Goodwill,
11
00:00:44,100 --> 00:00:50,300
empathy Joy or even through a
recoil from a blower obstacle.
12
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,500
Once one has an actual
experience of the spiritual
13
00:00:54,500 --> 00:00:58,600
consciousness, The Wider
reality, within which we live
14
00:00:58,700 --> 00:01:03,700
breathe in act, it is much
easier to both understand and
15
00:01:03,700 --> 00:01:08,600
Orient oneself towards
integrating that experience into
16
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:13,600
the rest of one's life.
The Experience opens the door.
17
00:01:14,500 --> 00:01:18,900
It also gives the individual a
real sense of what the spiritual
18
00:01:18,900 --> 00:01:24,100
consciousness is so that he can
tune himself to respond to that
19
00:01:24,500 --> 00:01:27,500
and aligned with its vibratory
pattern.
20
00:01:29,100 --> 00:01:34,900
The mother writes quote, many
ways have always been given, but
21
00:01:34,900 --> 00:01:38,400
a way you have been taught a way
you have read about in books or
22
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,800
heard from a teacher.
Does not have the effective
23
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,500
value of a spontaneous
experience, which has come
24
00:01:45,500 --> 00:01:49,200
without any apparent reason.
And, which is simply the
25
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,000
blossoming of the souls,
Awakening, one, second of
26
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,500
contact with your psychic being,
which shows you the best way for
27
00:01:57,500 --> 00:02:00,700
you.
The one most within your reach,
28
00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:04,400
which you will then have to
follow with perseverance to
29
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,400
reach the goal.
One second, which shows you how
30
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,700
to start the beginning.
Some have this in dreams at
31
00:02:12,700 --> 00:02:16,200
night some have it, at any odd
time.
32
00:02:17,100 --> 00:02:20,000
Something one sees, which
awakens in one, this new
33
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,300
Consciousness, something one,
here's a beautiful landscape
34
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:31,500
beautiful music or I'll simply a
few words, one reads or else.
35
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,700
The intensity of concentration
in some effort.
36
00:02:35,300 --> 00:02:39,000
Anything at all.
There are a thousand reasons and
37
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:44,600
thousands of ways of having it,
but I repeat, all those who are
38
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,600
destined to realize have had
this at least once in their
39
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:53,900
life, it may be very fleeting.
It may have come when they were
40
00:02:53,900 --> 00:02:58,700
very young but always at least
once in one's life, one has the
41
00:02:58,700 --> 00:03:02,900
experience of what true
Consciousness is Well, that is
42
00:03:02,900 --> 00:03:05,700
the best indication of the path
to be followed.
43
00:03:07,100 --> 00:03:11,700
When may seek within oneself,
when may remember May, observe
44
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,400
one must notice, what is going
on.
45
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,700
One must pay attention.
That's all sometimes.
46
00:03:18,700 --> 00:03:23,300
When one sees a generous act,
here's of something exceptional.
47
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,500
When Witnesses heroism, or
generosity or greatness of Soul.
48
00:03:29,300 --> 00:03:31,900
Meet someone who shows a special
talent.
49
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,000
Aunt or acts in an exceptional
and beautiful way.
50
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:42,400
There's a kind of enthusiasm or
admiration or gratitude, which
51
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:47,200
suddenly awakens in the being
and opens the door to a state, a
52
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:52,400
new State of Consciousness, a
light a warmth of Joy.
53
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:57,700
When did not know before that
too, is a way of catching the
54
00:03:57,700 --> 00:04:00,700
guiding thread.
There are a thousand ways.
55
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,200
Has only to be awake and to
watch.
56
00:04:06,700 --> 00:04:09,900
First of all, you must feel the
necessity for this change of
57
00:04:09,900 --> 00:04:13,600
Consciousness.
Accept the idea that it is this
58
00:04:14,100 --> 00:04:19,000
the path which must lead to the
goal and once you admit the
59
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:25,000
principal, You Must Be watchful
and you will find you do find
60
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,500
it.
And once you have found it, you
61
00:04:28,500 --> 00:04:31,200
must start walking without any
hesitation.
62
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,700
Indeed.
The starting point is to observe
63
00:04:34,700 --> 00:04:38,300
oneself.
Not to live in a Perpetual
64
00:04:38,300 --> 00:04:45,400
nonchalance a Perpetual.
Apathy one must be attentive and
