you are here: > Self > 10.
A new beginning
| 10.9 |
Light to dark: dark to light
|
|
| It is also time to reveal to you a relationship of the forces of light and darkness that you have traversed until this point, like the cycle of Yin and Yang, a necessary flow. | ||
| As we began, UCA Unique Collective Awareness opened up by Chapter 4 the very beautiful and enlightened possibility of connection to all things and the nature of all things. From this light sprang forth the understandings in the 23 chapters of UCA. | ||
| As inspiring as the words have been in UCA, the outcome is not necessarily positive. Ego grasped the knowledge in its assumption of being handy new beliefs. Ego may even have ignored the concept of UCA being just an idea and proclaimed its wholehearted "belief" in what was written. | ||
| Thus from the light, the darkness grows- ego grows stronger and more intelligent. Why you may ask would this be necessary? | ||
| In several ways this is so. Firstly, to enable the shift in beliefs to ideas, ego mst be open to the possible of benefit. Given that ego has ruled most of our lives, without the interest of ego, such a task would be impossible. So while ego has been happy to quote sections of UCA and play with the new found knowledge, the belief systems of old that have entrapped us slowly have been replaced with something of illusion- ideas. | ||
| Secondly, the growth of ego also encompasses the growth in intellect. The nature and behaviour of ego changes, it becomes more sophisticated with its arguments. It becomes more cunning, as the arguments of old- fear diminishes in many departments. Slowly but surely doors are closed to the spinning nature of ego, without ego knowing. For all the supreme confidence of ego, it is no match for UCA and ME. | ||
| So then we complete UCA, the growth in ego is supreme. It is then that we start to feel strange changes and begin ME. | ||
| Contrary to UCA, ME, the personal we now see identifies ego in person- the dark sol, the darkness. The first book UCA = light, the second ME = dark. | ||
| From the light UCA grows the darkness EGO. But from the darkness ME will grow light- SOL. | ||
| It is now time to reveal an important understanding about the journey of UCA and Me that you have taken so far. For a moment, think back to how you perceived the world and ideas before you began reading UCA. Chances are, you saw yourself living in a world full of beliefs, beliefs of who you are, what you do, who you know, what you know and where you might be going. | ||
| Two people have been living in you all your life. One is the ego, garrulous, demanding, hysterical, calculating; the other is the hidden spiritual being, whose still voice of wisdom you have only rarely heard or attended to. | ||
| As you listen more and more to the teachings, contemplate them, and integrate them into your life, your inner voice, you innate wisdom of discernment, what is called discriminating awareness is awakened and strengthened and you start to begin to distinguish between its guidance and the various clam,porous and enthralling voices of ego. The memory of your real nature, with all its splendor and confidence begins to return to you. | ||
