Observation of Oneself
Internal Self-observation is a practical means to achieve a radical transformation.
To know and to observe are different. Many confuse the observation of oneself with knowing. For example, even though we know that we are seated in a living room, this, however, does not signify that we are observing the chair.
We know that at a given moment we are in a negative state, perhaps with a problem, worried about this or that matter, or in a state of distress or uncertainty, etc. This, however, does not mean that we are observing the negative state.
Do you feel antipathy towards someone? Do you dislike a certain person? Why? You may say that you know that person... Please observe that person; to know is not the same as to observe! Do not confuse knowing with observing...
Chatter
It is urgent, unavoidable and non-excludable to observe our internal chatter and its precise place of origin.
Unquestionably, many present as well as future disharmonious and unpleasant psychic states have their causa causorum in our erroneous internal chatter.
Obviously, all that insubstantial, vain wordiness of ambiguous chattering and all harmful, damaging and absurd jabber in general, uttered in this external world, has its origin in our wrong internal gibberish.
The World of Relations
The world of relationships has three very different aspects that we need to clarify in a precise manner.
- First: We are related with the planetary body, in other words, the physical body.
- Second: We live on the planet Earth and by logical consequence we are related with the exterior world and with our personal matters such as relatives, business, money, office matters, profession, politics, etc.
- Third: We have the relationship of a person with himself. For the majority of people, this kind of relationship does not have the least importance.
The Psychological Song
The moment in order to very seriously reflect about that which is called “internal consideration” has arrived.
There is not the least bit of doubt regarding the disastrous consequences of “intimate self-consideration.” Besides hypnotizing the consciousness, it causes us to lose a lot of energy.
If one would not make the mistake of identifying too much with one’s self, then internal Self-consideration would be something more than impossible.
Return and Recurrence
A person is what his life is. Therefore, if he does not modify anything within himself, if he does not radically transform his life, if he does not work on himself, he is miserably wasting his time.
Death is the return to the very beginning of one’s life with the possibility of repeating it once again.
Much has been stated in pseudo-esoteric and pseudo-occultist literature about the subject of successive lives. Yet, it is better to be concerned about successive existences.
The life of each one of us, with all its seasons, is always the same. Life repeats itself from existence to existence throughout innumerable centuries.
