Feel awareness and discover what it is. Use willpower and discover what it is. Feel energy and analyze energy and discover what it is. Then separate the three of them in your intellectual mind and experiential pattern. Then, after you\u2019ve gotten that done, you will begin to see inside yourself that the three are one and the same. And it is actually the beautiful, pure intelligence of the immortal soul body, that body of light of you, on its path inward into its last phase of maturity on this planet. This inner body of light has been maturing through many, many different lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you would like to know how it came along, for instance if you had ninety lives on this planet, each life the body of light matured one year. So your body of light would be ninety years old, so to speak. You can look at it that way. That\u2019s not quite the way it actually is, but looking at it that way gives you an idea of the maturing of this body of light. The pure intelligence of it is your awareness\u2014which is energy and which is willpower\u2014that life after life becomes stronger, more steadfast. Finally, in your last incarnation on the Earth, you merge into its final experience, that great sam\u0101dhi, the Self, beyond the complete, still area of consciousness. You go in not knowing what you are getting into, and you come out wise. Your complete perspective is changed, and you only talk about it to those that are on the path of enlightenment, as they are the only ones steady enough or free enough to understand the depth of this realization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are the ingredients: attention, concentration, meditation, contemplation, sam\u0101dhi. Willpower is the fuel. It does not take time. Someone asked me, \u201cDo you think I can have this sam\u0101dhi, realize the Self, in ten years?\u201d I said, \u201cI certainly don\u2019t. I don\u2019t think you have enough willpower to realize it in a hundred years, because it doesn\u2019t take time. It takes will. If you had the will, you wouldn\u2019t add ten years on it. You would simply be telling me, \u2018I am going to have this realization.\u2019 And I would believe you because I would feel your will moving out of every atom of your body. But the mere fact that you take an intellectual approach, I have to say no, because whatever I did think wouldn\u2019t make any difference one way or the other. You are not going to get it with an attitude like that, because it\u2019s not something you go out and buy. It\u2019s not another getting, like \u2018I have a car. I have clothes. I have a little money. And now, after I get my television paid for, I think I\u2019ll get the Self, because that is the next thing to get. It\u2019s really great. I read about it. I heard about it. I heard a speaker speak about it. I\u2019m all fired up to get this Self, and it\u2019s next in the line of getting, so I\u2019m going to get it!\u2019 It doesn\u2019t work like that. You don\u2019t get that which you have. You can\u2019t get that which you have. It\u2019s there. You have to give up the consciousness of the television, the money, the clothes, the people that you know, the personality that you thought you were, the physical body. You have to go into the elements of the physical body, into the elements of that, and into the energy of that, and into the vast inner space of that, and into the core of that, and into the that of that, and into the that of that, and finally you realize that you have realized the Self. And you\u2019ve lost something. You lost your goal of Self Realization. And you come back into the fullness of everything, and you are no longer looking, and you are no longer asking, and you are no longer wanting. You just are. When you get tired of the external area of the mind that you are flowing through, you simply dive in again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Realization Requires Will Work with willpower, awareness and energy as three separate items first.
