The Shift from Ego-Personality to Divine Standpoint

1
00:00:02,500 --> 00:00:06,000
We generally tend to believe
that if we focus intensely

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:11,400
enough, if we undertake serious
spiritual disciplines, we will

3
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:16,600
achieve the goal of spiritual
Liberation or realizations that

4
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,300
we may be seeking.
There are no doubt, many

5
00:00:20,300 --> 00:00:22,900
benefits from practicing
spiritual disciplines

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,400
undertaking to Prussia and
building the aspiration within

7
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:32,299
the being.
These steps can help to remove

8
00:00:32,299 --> 00:00:37,000
covering obstacles that would
otherwise prevent or impede the

9
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,300
development of the spiritual
forces that need to manifest

10
00:00:41,300 --> 00:00:45,400
within us to effectuate the
changes for which we aspire.

11
00:00:46,900 --> 00:00:50,100
They can also help us
systematically begin to tune the

12
00:00:50,100 --> 00:00:54,900
being to become receptive, and
responsive to these forces, when

13
00:00:54,900 --> 00:01:00,800
we come into contact with them.
As the discipline proceeds, we

14
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,700
get various experiences that
represent the touch of the

15
00:01:04,700 --> 00:01:09,800
higher Consciousness but
eventually it recedes as our

16
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:14,300
normal pattern of life reasserts
itself, we continue to

17
00:01:14,300 --> 00:01:17,700
experience everything from the
standpoint of the ego

18
00:01:17,700 --> 00:01:21,100
Consciousness.
And we feel like we are in the

19
00:01:21,100 --> 00:01:26,900
center and see the world other
individuals and beings and the

20
00:01:26,900 --> 00:01:31,500
forces at work.
As external and separate from

21
00:01:31,500 --> 00:01:35,700
us.
Seekers throughout human history

22
00:01:35,700 --> 00:01:38,600
of had such experiences.
Some of them arising

23
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,300
spontaneously through some
pressure or event.

24
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,200
Some are rising along the way as
the spiritual discipline

25
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:51,400
proceeds, some from undertaking
actions that put the being under

26
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:56,800
intense stress such as fasting
or some kind of Vision Quest in

27
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,800
the desert or the mountains.
Some people grow into a

28
00:02:00,808 --> 00:02:05,500
vibrational pattern that
prepares them for The Descent of

29
00:02:05,500 --> 00:02:09,100
a higher Force.
Human history.

30
00:02:09,100 --> 00:02:12,300
Also relates numerous
experiences sought through use

31
00:02:12,300 --> 00:02:18,200
of various antigenic substances.
Such as psilocybin, mescaline,

32
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:25,300
peyote LSD, DMT Ayahuasca, ganja
Etc.

33
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,200
Whereby, they are able to
temporarily release The hold of

34
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:34,300
the ego Consciousness and The
Limited framework of the mental

35
00:02:34,300 --> 00:02:38,400
Matrix.
Many of these individuals report

36
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,800
and experience whereby, they no
longer identify themselves with

37
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:49,100
a small fragmented separated
individuality but see the entire

38
00:02:49,100 --> 00:02:53,800
world as a living breathing
interactive Oneness.

39
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:58,700
They report seeing vibrational
patterns in various colors and

40
00:02:59,300 --> 00:03:04,700
Entities that illuminate, the
relational status between the

41
00:03:04,700 --> 00:03:09,900
various objects, which are
themselves participating in the

42
00:03:09,900 --> 00:03:12,900
Oneness of the universal
creation.

43
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,600
Of course, use of substances.
While it may provide an

44
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,000
individual with an experience
that represents a different

45
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,100
reality, does not effectuate.
Any permanent shift of

46
00:03:26,100 --> 00:03:31,600
standpoint and frequently.
Has their own disruptive

47
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:36,100
effects.
On the operation of the nervous

48
00:03:36,100 --> 00:03:41,200
system and the brain that may
not be conducive to the

49
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,000
long-term spiritual purpose of a
Seeker.

50
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:50,200
However, such an experience,
arises it is patent and obvious,

51
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,800
not requiring any mental,
ideation that they are

52
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,500
participating in a different
order of Consciousness and

53
00:03:58,500 --> 00:04:02,400
relation to the reality of the
universal creation.

54
00:04:03,700 --> 00:04:07,300
This is the difference between
knowing about something through

55
00:04:07,300 --> 00:04:11,900
a mental framework and knowing
something through the actual

56
00:04:11,900 --> 00:04:16,100
experience of it, the
transformation of the

57
00:04:16,100 --> 00:04:19,399
Consciousness occurs, when there
is an actual shift to the new

58
00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:21,899
standpoint of the Divine
consciousness.

59
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,900
In such an instance, the speaker
no longer identifies with the

60
00:04:26,900 --> 00:04:31,700
ego personality, which may
remain a Nexus of energy flowing

61
00:04:31,700 --> 00:04:36,600
in and out, but which is clearly
not separate or Central to the

62
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:42,500
Divine process in the universe.
At some point, this shift

63
00:04:42,500 --> 00:04:46,900
actually can elicit fear from
the ego Consciousness as it

64
00:04:46,900 --> 00:04:52,000
reaches a barrier and knows that
if it goes beyond that barrier,

65
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,400
it will lose its ego.
Centrality, this is an

66
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:01,500
existential fear of death that
the ego can experience as an

67
00:05:01,500 --> 00:05:09,400
experience or a complete shift
occurs. when's the shift occurs,

68
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:14,600
the individual sees the world,
its energies its forces, its

69
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:19,800
individuals, the whole creation,
from this new, embracing and

70
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:24,200
wide standpoint and the ego
personality essentially

71
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,500
dissolves, everything has a
different meaning when seen from

72
00:05:28,500 --> 00:05:33,700
this other wider perspective and
thus, those who have that

73
00:05:33,700 --> 00:05:38,300
experience referred to a
reversal of consciousness, Or

74
00:05:38,300 --> 00:05:42,300
the flip of day and night
between the ordinary awareness

75
00:05:42,900 --> 00:05:45,600
and the new standpoint of
realization.

76
00:05:47,300 --> 00:05:52,400
The mother notes quote and one
can't say that one experiences

77
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,900
this reversal.
There is no feeling it is almost

78
00:05:55,900 --> 00:05:59,500
a mechanical.
Fact, it is extraordinaire Ali.

79
00:05:59,500 --> 00:06:04,300
Mechanical mother takes an
object from the table beside her

80
00:06:04,300 --> 00:06:08,600
and turns it upside down.
They would be some very

81
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,400
interesting things to say about
the difference, between the

82
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,800
moment of realization of city
like this, reversal of

83
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:20,100
Consciousness, for example, and
all the work of development that

84
00:06:20,100 --> 00:06:23,500
took pasilla to say how it comes
about.

85
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,600
For the sadhna, to Prussia is
one thing in the city.

86
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,400
Another quite a different thing
you may do.

87
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:38,700
Te pasa for centuries and you
will always go as a tangent

88
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,400
closer and closer to the
realization nearer and nearer.

89
00:06:44,300 --> 00:06:47,500
But it is only.
When the city is given to you,

90
00:06:48,300 --> 00:06:52,200
then everything is changed.
Everything is reversed.

91
00:06:53,100 --> 00:06:57,300
And this is inexpressible for,
as soon as it is, put in words

92
00:06:57,300 --> 00:07:00,600
it escapes.
But there is a difference, a

93
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:06,600
real difference, essential total
between aspiration, the mental

94
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:11,200
tension, even the tension of the
highest most luminous mind and

95
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,400
realization.
Something, which has been

96
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:20,000
decided from above from all time
and is absolutely independent of

97
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,900
all personal effort of all
gradation.

98
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,600
Don't you see?
It is not bit by bit that one

99
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,400
reaches.
It, it is not by a small,

100
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,700
constant regular effort.
It is not that it is something

101
00:07:34,700 --> 00:07:39,200
that comes suddenly.
It is established without ones

102
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:45,000
knowing how or why, but all is
changed and it will be like that

103
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,200
for everybody for the whole
universe.

104
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,100
It goes on and on it, moves
forward very slowly.

105
00:07:52,100 --> 00:07:58,600
And then one moment all of a
sudden it will be done finished,

106
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,600
not finished.
It's the beginning.

107
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:08,200
