Change And Transcendence

A random genetic combination followed by specific organism-environment interactions generates a distinct personality very early in the life of each human being. Each of us can transcend our personality only if the potential for transcendence was present from the beginning and also if that potential is strong enough to overcome mental inertia and the psychological self-defense mechanisms of the personality.

Inertia and self-defense are unconscious and conscious levels of resistance to change. However, existence is interaction between change and resistance to it. Much change and transcendence have occurred and more can. On the other hand, deep personal change is rare.

Here And Now

Here and now:

the One is;

It is conscious of Itself in and through this organism;

the organism perceives and thinks;

thought obscures the One, impedes unitive consciousness and generates separative delusion.

Therefore:

let random thoughts pass;
do not prolong them unnecessarily.

Thus:

I see the sun;
I remember an unhappy sunny day in childhood;
I let the memory pass or
I start to think about it;
I realize that I am thinking about it;
I let it pass.

This practice weakens the grip of thought and of the illusory separate self.

The One is here and now.
