Tag: Attention

In the recesses of your mind you may find yourself, you may see the truth without egoistical activity; all you have to do is watch intently, inquire with attention and depth, explore beyond those thoughts which pop up and which you sometimes follow blindly.  With earnest and eager attention, with a sacred proclivity into you, you must guard yourself and see your reactions, see your thoughts and what they tell you.  As a human being you have been endowed with self-awareness; and self-awareness is alchemy, it is to watch yourself to see your own mistakes and stubbornness, it is to watch your very nakedness in nature, because the ego dresses up thoughts as true, as lies, as righteous philosophies and concepts–and you must see through this thick veil, see the nature of God behind your pompous thoughts of man.

No matter how old you are, where you are located in the globe, or what you have lived in life, you must be able to access your own mind with self-awareness.  See yourself as you are, without masks, without lies and secrets; beyond beliefs, beyond what you have read and what they have told you.  Learn to see and read the messages in what you tell yourself and others, because quite often people just think, say and do without actually knowing what their thoughts, words and actions truly mean to themselves and to someone else: they get into so many difficult situations and into so much suffering that way, and all because they ignore their main and most important endowment–i.e., self-awareness.

The Alchemist practices Alchemy in everything and anything he does; and so, there is no chance of egoistical activity because he guards himself, day and night, as his lifestyle and higher nature.  He walks in self-awareness, which means his attention is drawn inwardly; and people, and things, and situations then, do not affect him because his attention remains inwards at all times.  It is easy then to master yourself and not suffer attachment when you practice daily self-awareness, because this is the heart of Alchemy and the key to open the doors to godliness in you.
