Thank you for answering 2 of my questions in this session 43. I understand better some of these lofty concepts. And I want to compliment you both on your distinguished attire in this session. Also, your flowers are always beautiful!
Since asked for tips on how to do it … one other one that works for me is humming. Usually when hum a song it cancels out other thoughts so can just observe… have been humming as habit so long that even if physically don’t make noise can play full songs in head at will. The songs are usually fairly simple but if actively concentrate on them then they become more complex and hear more instruments and layers
Forgot to add that sometimes the thoughts interrupt the humming but can keep the thoughts almost completely shut off usually if add physical motion to it. Such as tapping foot to a simple syncopated beat or standing up and doing a two step foot pattern
It is easy to see things as they are once get used to it. Have been doing it for over twenty years now. Tip that helped me is meditation on times made a mistake or was wrong. If you are honest with yourself should be able to recall many times have been wrong and then narrow it down to times made assumptions or jumped to conclusions. One memory in particular for me is first day of 8th grade … thought this one girl was fat and ugly and another guy was weird looking so almost didn’t talk to them. Decided to talk to them anyway and both have been some of best friends now for over 20 years so vowed to always try to not make judgements and give fair chance
Thankyou and enjoying every bit! A doubt that often creeps in is if most of us don't know that we are dead and in another realm, when we die, how do we know we are not presently in that realm already ie already dead? I thought the answer could be that because our thoughts are not read by each other and that we don't travel where our thoughts go, we are very much on earth, but if that is true then at least us Theosophist will know when we die, of what is happening..
Would you please tell me what the qualifications are for becoming an Adept or a Chela; it’s puzzling to me that aspirants need to be tried or tempted by the evil spiritualists. How are they tested while on probation?
