Hi Eric:

"Thanks for your quote from Ouspensky. I have also read In Search of the 
Miraculous by Ouspensky."

This particular extract comes from a book of questions and answers intitled"the 
fourth way" (just to make sure not to annoy academics!)

"He has stated that negative emotions rule the world. But they also rule 
individual lives. Jung referred to the "collective unconscious" Maybe this is 
what the Apostle Paul was referring to when he spoke of secret faults. The more 
one practices self-awareness and that state of consciousness which has been 
called mindfulness, the more they detach from the level of collective 
unconscious, which I believe Ouspensky called automatism and they slowlybecome 
a part of the circle of conscious humanity."

In this ligth I came to REALLY appreciate the instructions of Bardon's stepone, 
as he ecourages us to develop all those tools that we take for granted (not 
anymore!) ,observation,mindfulness, plus the correspondances with the elements. 
Well equiped to start serious work, being able to observe ourselves with 
honesty and to start refining our being.

Time is for action.

"Thanks for your comments.

Robert"


Thank you. 

Eric

I have a couple of questions for evrybody

Self-knowledge is so important, is it only a 1st step to be taken ?(i do 
understand the importance for being able to DO, and self-mastery)

What is the relation between self mastery and Union with the divine? is it to 
allow a proper "descent" of that particular power?, as a well tuned instrument 
in a middle of an orcherstra? 

 

Thank you.

Eric
