Work Period Mumbai Sept 2014 Notes

1. Biggest sin against the Holy Spirit is despair. Psycholgically giving up.

2. To always divide one attention to onesef and the other on the listening or the activity. To create a separation. So I can see Harish and the person or activity

3. Laws of World creation. What is world creation. Is it intention? world creation does not just apply to our current world - external world as we see it. Maybe the clue is intention.

4. Law of three is about shift  of level. Law of seven is a law of |process in time.

5. On Sharing - the person who is sharing is Three Centred as much as possible. Or atleast anchored in the body. Listeners also similar. But the idea that there is no closure. The question is widened. The inquiry is deepened.

6. Tathagat means - Thus gone.

7. Ego is always when one is at the centre of the universe. Freedom from ego is when I am not the centre of the universe.
Conscience is when one finds one is not at the centre.

8. Now that I am aware of my Work what is my action now ?

9. Eyes of the flesh see things of the flesh. Eyes of the spirit sees things of the spirit.

10. Naish karma - ? Is it unidentified doing? Ravi ji says one is not compelled to act. Lao Tsu - act without doing. Sages don't do anything but nothing is left undone. ( Is this more about bringing down a quality of attention so the right things get done ?  )

11. The only mechanism  of transformation is seeing. It belongs to a level higher than my functions. When I'm seeing then I'm in contact with a level higher than my functions.

12.There is a field and there is a knower of the field. And  I am the knower of all the fields.

13, When the tempo of my attention as compared to the tempo of my body is fast there is a certain restlessness. When the tempo of my attention as compared to the tempo of the body  is slow my, mind wanders. How does one balance the tempo of attention.

14. There is no lower emotional centre. It is driven by the body.

15. All  feeling is the coming together of the energy of the mind and the energy of a the body. Feeling does not exist by itself.
It is a child of the love making between the mind and the body.
So if the body is in touch with a lower mind the resultant child would be lower emotions.
But if the body is in touch with a higher mind  then a higher feeling results.

16. Si 12 and individuality

17. We can't be against anything. We need to see its place. What function does it do - in my psyche, in the society and in the cosmos.

18. What are the laws that apply to me ? say what can free me from the laws of Like and Dislike - Mumbai group activity till Feb



Post WP feeling

1. Felt I didn't receive any thing. I have been in reaction. Small minded.

2. I have not worked well before the WP. Need to start the running and the protein and kidney and liver flush to start battle against daibetes.
3. Feeling of exhaustion - mental. I am not expending energy smartly
4. Task - how to understand myself as I see people who oppose my views. I have seen people who oppose me are of great help to pull things out, that are deeply embedded in me.


Sharing of others from WP

Remarks which stayed with me.
 
1. All spiritual practices are contrary to our usual tendencies.
 

2. Giving up is sin against the Holy Spirit.
 
3. Whatever I can understand, cannot transform me.
 
4. All transformation and insight comes from the other side, but I have a
role to play.

 
5.Even a mosquito has a being. But when I say " I wish to be" it means I
wish to have a greater being.
Ramesh

**********************************
One thing that I take away from this WP is that the day can start with
something other than tea!
 
[And thanks to Harish, Anu and the others who got up an hour earlier to cut
the
(tar|khar)buj for the rest -- I actually experienced this feeling of thanks
today -- Got up; decided to start with kallingar... was struggling to cut
and remove seeds and realized that you folks were cutting for 30 more
people!]

*******************************

. If I am called to work right now, what will be the appropriate action? 
 
2. My lower mind can assist in enhancing perception. So not be against it. It can play a role in assisting perception. 
 
3. There are large ideas. Many of them. But how do I start to relate to them. Here. And Now. At my level. Otherwise they will remain great ideas. 
 
4. Every spiritual experience results as an experience at the level of this body. 
 
5. World Creation need not be about the cosmic world only. We create our own psychological worlds too and maintain them.  
Sundar.
