The Shift from Ego-Personality to Divine Standpoint

0:02 We generally tend to believe that if we focus intensely enough, if we undertake serious spiritual disciplines, we will achieve the goal of spiritual Liberation or realizations that we may be seeking. There are no doubt, many benefits from practicing spiritual disciplines undertaking to Prussia and building the aspiration within the being. These steps can help to remove covering obstacles that would otherwise prevent or impede the development of the spiritual forces that need to manifest within us to effectuate the changes for which we aspire.

0:46 They can also help us systematically begin to tune the being to become receptive, and responsive to these forces, when we come into contact with them. As the discipline proceeds, we get various experiences that represent the touch of the higher Consciousness but eventually it recedes as our normal pattern of life reasserts itself, we continue to experience everything from the standpoint of the ego Consciousness. And we feel like we are in the center and see the world other individuals and beings and the forces at work. As external and separate from us. Seekers throughout human history of had such experiences. Some of them arising spontaneously through some pressure or event.

1:43 Some are rising along the way as the spiritual discipline proceeds, some from undertaking actions that put the being under intense stress such as fasting or some kind of Vision Quest in the desert or the mountains. Some people grow into a vibrational pattern that prepares them for The Descent of a higher Force. Human history. Also relates numerous experiences sought through use of various antigenic substances. Such as psilocybin, mescaline, peyote LSD, DMT Ayahuasca, ganja Etc.

2:26 Whereby, they are able to temporarily release The hold of the ego Consciousness and The Limited framework of the mental Matrix. Many of these individuals report and experience whereby, they no longer identify themselves with a small fragmented separated individuality but see the entire world as a living breathing interactive Oneness. They report seeing vibrational patterns in various colors and Entities that illuminate, the relational status between the various objects, which are themselves participating in the Oneness of the universal creation.

3:14 Of course, use of substances. While it may provide an individual with an experience that represents a different reality, does not effectuate. Any permanent shift of standpoint and frequently. Has their own disruptive effects. On the operation of the nervous system and the brain that may not be conducive to the long-term spiritual purpose of a Seeker. However, such an experience, arises it is patent and obvious, not requiring any mental, ideation that they are participating in a different order of Consciousness and relation to the reality of the universal creation.

4:03 This is the difference between knowing about something through a mental framework and knowing something through the actual experience of it, the transformation of the Consciousness occurs, when there is an actual shift to the new standpoint of the Divine consciousness. In such an instance, the speaker no longer identifies with the ego personality, which may remain a Nexus of energy flowing in and out, but which is clearly not separate or Central to the Divine process in the universe. At some point, this shift actually can elicit fear from the ego Consciousness as it reaches a barrier and knows that if it goes beyond that barrier, it will lose its ego. Centrality, this is an existential fear of death that the ego can experience as an experience or a complete shift occurs. when's the shift occurs, the individual sees the world, its energies its forces, its individuals, the whole creation, from this new, embracing and wide standpoint and the ego personality essentially dissolves, everything has a different meaning when seen from this other wider perspective and thus, those who have that

5:33 experience referred to a reversal of consciousness, Or the flip of day and night between the ordinary awareness and the new standpoint of realization. The mother notes quote and one can't say that one experiences this reversal. There is no feeling it is almost a mechanical. Fact, it is extraordinaire Ali. Mechanical mother takes an object from the table beside her and turns it upside down. They would be some very interesting things to say about the difference, between the moment of realization of city like this, reversal of Consciousness, for example, and all the work of development that took pasilla to say how it comes about.

6:25 For the sadhna, to Prussia is one thing in the city. Another quite a different thing you may do. Te pasa for centuries and you will always go as a tangent closer and closer to the realization nearer and nearer. But it is only. When the city is given to you, then everything is changed. Everything is reversed. And this is inexpressible for, as soon as it is, put in words it escapes. But there is a difference, a real difference, essential total between aspiration, the mental tension, even the tension of the highest most luminous mind and realization. Something, which has been decided from above from all time and is absolutely independent of all personal effort of all gradation.

7:24 Don't you see? It is not bit by bit that one reaches. It, it is not by a small, constant regular effort. It is not that it is something that comes suddenly. It is established without ones knowing how or why, but all is changed and it will be like that for everybody for the whole universe. It goes on and on it, moves forward very slowly. And then one moment all of a sudden it will be done finished, not finished. It's the beginning.
