Re: Theos-World slay the mind

Friends,
This passage from the Voice of the Silence has always been one of my
favorites.
This is what it means to me: We all know that the part of the mind
which is attached to Kama is the producer of illusion, particularly
the great illusion of separateness. It is useless to depend on it if
we want to escape the state of illusion. Also, if we want to
understand Universal Brotherhood we must break that bondage. Only our
True Self can help us achieve that. No one else can.
We have to start creating a link with our Higher Self. A good way to
start is with the right kind of thinking and trying to cultivate good
feelings towards others. It is a long process to being aware of that
Higher Reality that is us. After all, I'm referring to the voice of
conscience. We all have it. The only thing is that instead of
ignoring it, we should start listening carefully and following its
advice. In other words, puting into practice what we say we believe in.
Eventually, a line of communication is created between the higher and
the lower part of us. When the time is right it will produce a
transformation of the personality, and the Disciple will be born. We
can depend on him to help us in the final battle. Without him we are
nothing...really.
