I agree Mark Halloween comes once a year. That other Demonic Christian Satanism is 24 houra day all year long. Every child I ever knew was traumatized by fear of the devil and hell. Only the very small who have been threatened fear Halloween spooks for any length of time.
I consider it a gift of God to get to see those inspiring youth dressed up and knocking on my door. The price of candy and fruit is a small price to pay for the joy they bring.
Oh well not all church people feel this way. These fanatics do not perceive truth they just BELIEVE IT.
We have to have semantics to correct ourselves on the mental level in order to sharply differentiate between mental pictures experienced, perceived, and mental pictures where there is nothing experienced, where there is nothing perceived; the study of conscious
abstracting enables us to do that. To do what? Sharply differentiate between mental pictures where there is something experienced or perceived and mental pictures where there is nothing perceived or experienced.
That brings us to this point:--we have to proceed from this point on in one of two ways--we have to continue in belief or we have to begin inquiry; it is belief versus inquiry. If you want to cling to your beliefs, if you are satisfied in your beliefs, leave this work alone. This mind of self is constantly inquiring; we will question every premise. We do not begin to argue with you relative to your premise, we analyze it. For example: "God created the world in six days and rested the seventh." "What do you mean by the word God? Have you experienced it? Have you perceived it? If you haven't experienced it or perceived it, you are thingifying something that has no referent. But, one says, 'We must not question." Who says we must not question, inquire? We will inquire into everything that is verbalized or mentioned and see if we can find a referent.
As I said the other day about the Birth of the Christos, "If you want to believe that it was just one man that was born over nineteen hundred and ninety eight years ago, I have no objection." But did you experience it? Did you perceive it? Or, are you just believing it? Some think I want to take their Christ away from them. I want to show you how the Christ is born. We began to make pictures of that perceived, and we made animal pictures to represent them. Now, in the same way (by making mental constructs) we are not going to experience anything except the ability to thingify on the mental level. Awakening to the Real Self, in our own consciousness, comes from a power on the Mind-level.
I cannot operate on blind belief, I have to KNOW. The world is full of places to go where they still believe! But this work here is not for believers; it is for those who want to know themselves, have first-hand experience and we want to stand continuously in that perception which is invariant and not subject to change, that is mortised and tendoned in something invariant. Belief is subject to all sorts of changes; but perception, knowing without thinking, getting your inner eyes open, is not subject to change. THE POWER TO-KNOW NEVER CHANGES; we differentiate that Power from the mattergy in which it has been
confined, mummified, buried. The consciousness of that power emancipated out of activities of mattergy, is that which is invariant and remains permanent and will never change. WE CALL THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF THAT POWER THE BIRTH OF THE CHRISTOS, and
it is not based on belief; it is based on experience. If you will follow the steps I am going to give, you will prove it.
It is high time, in this infant humanity, that we were waking up and beginning to question until we get answers--not dusty answers--but answers that can be experienced, perceived, and then we will know because we have experienced. If you will search your Scriptures you will find that substantiated. "Hold fast to that which proves out" The Christ in YOU is the hope of glory" not believing that Christ was in just one; the Christ in you is your hope of glory; YOU BECOME GLORIFIED IN UNDERSTANDING, WISDOM, PERCEPTION THROUGH THE CHRIST IN YOU. So you orient yourself to the Christ in you, the hope of glory, and stop believing. Stop chasing myths; start analyzing experience and your experiences will grow and grow; CHRIST WILL COME ALIVE IN YOU. I do not want you to believe that; I want you to prove that by experience,
by understanding, by perception, because there is your hope of glory and there is no other that I know of.
When we speak in terms of biology we speak of autonomous fields that govern the configurating process in the formation of the embryo. When we speak of a given individual, we will say the Higher Self or the Real Self or just the Self. In the old cosmology it is spoken of as the higher triad--Atma, Buddhi, Manas. Atma means Will; Buddhi means The Ecstasy, the happiness, the joy which accompanies or pervades it and by which it is characterized. Manas means the Noetic-mind or the Mind-level as differentiated from the mental functions of the psychic-nature. Do not get confused about so many labels for one 'thing.
Every individual, whether mineral, plant, animal, man or beyond man, has a background in which that individual is integrated, in which it is integrated structurally and functionally. With the animal it is the animal oversoul field. With a man, his background is integrated in the race-psyche. With the Higher Self, the Real Self, the Autonomous Field, etc., we speak of it as CHRISTOS.
