00:00:01,900 --> 00:00:06,200
When we live primarily or
entirely focused on our external

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:11,900
life via the instruments of the
body life force and mind, we

3
00:00:11,900 --> 00:00:16,800
cannot determine nor recognize
the purpose and significance of

4
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:21,300
our existence.
We may speculate, we may hold

5
00:00:21,300 --> 00:00:24,900
opinions.
We may adhere to some Doctrine

6
00:00:25,300 --> 00:00:29,400
such as a religious Doctrine.
Particularly, if we are members

7
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,700
of a particular, Allure faith
and have been trained in that

8
00:00:32,700 --> 00:00:35,200
faith.
None of these things.

9
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:40,300
However provide us any certainty
as to this question, the mind

10
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:45,700
the life and the body are not
instruments of knowledge and

11
00:00:45,700 --> 00:00:51,500
thus they are tied to confusion
error and misapplication of

12
00:00:51,500 --> 00:00:55,800
perceived facts.
However adamantly we hold our

13
00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:02,700
views, we do not have the
certainty of knowing knowledge

14
00:01:02,700 --> 00:01:07,200
is based on experience.
When the soul the psychic being

15
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:12,100
comes forward, it provides
certainty as it is a direct

16
00:01:12,100 --> 00:01:15,100
knower of Truth.
It moves the outer

17
00:01:15,100 --> 00:01:19,600
instrumentation to discover the
truth and act upon it.

18
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,900
It uses the suffering of the
outer life as leverage to make

19
00:01:24,900 --> 00:01:29,200
the being ready for and
receptive to the truth of its

20
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,800
existence and the deeper meaning
of one's life.

21
00:01:34,100 --> 00:01:39,100
The mother notes quote and it is
only when one is found.

22
00:01:39,100 --> 00:01:43,900
You see found what he says.
Found that one has a Divine self

23
00:01:44,500 --> 00:01:48,600
and the consequently one must
seek to know this Divine self.

24
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:54,000
This comes much later and yet,
in spite of everything from the

25
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,000
very moment of birth in a
physical body, there is in the

26
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:03,200
being in its depth, the psychic
presence which pushes the whole

27
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:08,000
being Words this fulfillment.
But who knows it and recognizes

28
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,300
it this psychic being that to
comes only in special

29
00:02:12,300 --> 00:02:17,600
circumstances and unfortunately,
most of the time, these have to

30
00:02:17,608 --> 00:02:21,800
be painful circumstances,
otherwise, when goes on living

31
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:26,700
unthinkingly, And in the depths
of ones being is the psychic

32
00:02:26,700 --> 00:02:32,000
being which seeks cease seeks to
awaken the Consciousness and

33
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,400
re-establish.
The union one knows nothing

34
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,400
about it.
Essentially, it is only when one

35
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,700
has become aware of one's Soul
has been identified with one's

36
00:02:43,700 --> 00:02:46,600
psychic.
Being that one can see, in a

37
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,600
single Flash, the picture of
one's individual development

38
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:55,200
Through the Ages.
Then indeed one begins to know

39
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:01,400
but not before then indeed I
assure you, it becomes very

40
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:06,700
interesting, it changes one's
position in life and quote,
