You must find out that even
the whole, even the ‘I’ as the body is self-contraction.
That’s the first step. That’s the great discovery. That’s
the end of the questioning game. That’s the end of the ego.
But you can’t figure it out. The seeming contradictions of
life, in the teaching or in me are in you. They’re in your
matter of thinking and acting, in your believing, thinking
perceptual mind. Their in the self-contraction. The
self-contraction is full of contradictions. The
self-contraction is self-contradictory. That’s what egoity
is. It’s self-defeating, turned in on itself and then turns
out onto the world. The ego is always assuming one side or the other. Maybe
at some point it’s resting in the whole but not identifying
and not understanding it’s own activity, itself as an
obstacle. In other words, not realizing that which is prior
to it. To realize what is prior to the whole and the
self-contraction is what I call hearing.
It is an intuitive realization. It stands prior to mind. And
once that realization occurs something happens in
consciousness. It’s similar to realizing you’ve been
pinching yourself and you stop. You
begin to witness your own activity. All of a sudden, in a moment, this moment you have
the key to the whole process. And that key is the
root of the conscious
process which is the senior aspect of the way from there
on. And ultimately it covers everything, the whole cosmic
display and all the stages of life. ***Due to copyright restrictions Beezone is limited in
