SUTRA 44 ORIGINAL WITH (Parentheticals and Capitalization) SEE with Capitalization
and No parentheticals SEE with No
Capitalization and No Parentheticals The First Actually Seeing
Stage Of The Only-By-Me Revealed and Given Way Of Adidam
(Which Is The One and Only By-Me-Revealed and By Me-Given
Way Of The Heart) Requires A Profound Exercise Of the
frontal personality Which Surrenders, Opens, and
(Spiritually) Rightly Polarizes, Purifies, Balances, and
Infuses the frontal (or human) character (In The Context Of
every function and every kind of relationship or
circumstance). That Process Must Always Take Place On The
Basis Of The Primary (and Always First) Practice (Of
Searchless Beholding Of Me and of (Subsequent) Responsive
Reception Of My Ruchira Shaktipat (Engaged In The Manner Of
My “Hridaya Rosary” Of “Four Thorns Of Heart-Instruction”).
And, In That Process, the human and Spiritual limitations of
the frontal character Are To Be Constantly Encountered and
Surrendered Via Directly and Effectively ego-Transcending
Devotional and Spiritual Communion With Me. This Real Process Of Encounter and self-Surrender
Inevitably Produces (and Must Produce) Many Kinds Of
phenomenal (or psycho-physical) Signs. Even Some Signs
Related To The Ascending Spiritual Process (or the Yogic
phenomena Associated With The Spinal Line) May Spontaneously
Appear, but The Significant Signs That Are Specific To The
First Actually Seeing Stage Of The Way Of The Heart Are
Associated With The Descending Process (and The Frontal Line
Of the body-mind). Thus, The Significant phenomena Signs At
This Developmental Stage Include psycho-physical Openings
and, Releases everywhere In The Frontal Line-Spiritually
Relieving egoic mental, emotional, and physical Patterns,
Reactions, and Blocks In The Hierarchical; Structure (From
the head To the bodily base). The self-Contraction (or the egoic personality) Developed
In The Context Of The First Three Stages Of Life Shows
itself, In The Context Of The Frontal Line, In A
Hierarchical Pattern-Progressing From the head To the bodily
base Via A Range Of specific emotions and bodily and mental
states that Generally (Apart From The Exercise Of The
Hearing-and-Seeing Capability) Would Prevent Spiritual
Communion With My (Avatarically Self-Transmitted) Divine
(and inherently spiritual) Love-Bliss. In The First Actually
Seeing Stage Of The Way Of The Heart, My Devotee Must Be
Already Equipped (By Virtue Previously Awakened Hearing Of
Me and Seeing Of Me) To Always Immediately and Directly
Transcend The Potential Of these various states To Prevent
Spiritual Communion With My Avatarically Self-Transmitted
Divine Love-Bliss; Therefore, In The First Actually Seeing
Stage Of The Way Of The Heart (Which Is Real Practice Of The
Way Of The Heart In The Fully Established “Basic” Context Of
The Fourth Stage Of Life, and Which Is Based On Previous
Hearing Of Me and Seeing Of Me, and On An Already
Established Basic human and, In The Foundation Sense,
Spiritual-Equanimity Relative To The First Three Stages Of
Life), The Spiritual (and Always Devotional) Process Of Such
ego Transcendence Is Primarily Engaged Relative To Patterns
and Degrees Of self-Contraction That (Comparatively) Would
Merely Diminish, Rather Than Prevent, Direct Communion (and,
Most Ultimately, Inherent, and Inherently Most Perfect,
Self-Identification) With My Avatarically Self-Transmitted
Divine Love-Bliss. The head Is Associated With mental Patterns That Reflect
the emotional and physical conditions below – and, In The
Context Of Practice In The First Actually Seeing Stage Of
The Way Of The Heart, My Devotee Discovers That The Primary
mental Sign Of the self-Contraction (Whereby Spiritual
Communion With My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine
Love-Bliss Is, or Would Be, Diminished) Is The Habit (or
Tendency) Of Non-Specific Doubt (Which Is Not So Much a
thought As It Is an emotionally Contracted state of mind
that, In A Negative or Disabling Fashion, Controls thought
and Otherwise limits The Useful functional Clarity and
Strength Of mind and will, or Of All Intelligent
Intention). Immediately below the head Is The Region Of the throat
(or The Channel Of the breath, and Of My Avatarically
Self-Transmitted Divine Spirit-Current, Which Connects the
head, and the Total brain, To The Heart, and the entire
trunk, and the lower body). The self-Contraction (Whereby
Spiritual Communion With My Avatarically Self-Transmitted
Divine Love-Bliss Is Diminished) Registers In This Region
Either As The Tendency Toward The Diminishment Of
psycho-physical Equanimity (Via A Relatively Chaotic,
Expression Of bodily energy and human Aliveness) Or As The
Tendency Toward A Degree Of Suppression Of bodily energy and
human Aliveness (Depending On The egoically Characteristic
Mood and The Accumulated personality Pattern Of the
individual). The General Region Of The Heart (Including the solar
plexus) Is Associated With emotional Patterns That Reflect
conditions everywhere in the body-mind. The self-Contraction
Is Displayed emotionally As every kind of Chronic and Key
emotion (or Pattern Of emotional Reaction), Including Fear,
Sorrow, Anger, and, Un-Love – but The Maturing Spiritual
Practitioner (At The First Actually Seeing Stage, and
Beyond) Of The Way Of The Heart, In whom The Hearing Of Me,
The Seeing Of Me, and The Maturing Spiritual Process Of
Ruchira Avatara Bhakti Yoga Have Already Purified The Heart
In Its Average Of moments, Discovers That The Primary
emotional Sign Of the self-Contraction (Whereby Spiritual
Communion With My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine
Love-Bliss Is Diminished) Is Boredom (or The
Boredom-Reaction To The Inherent Demands Of The Spiritual
Ordeal). If Heart-Boredom Is Suffered, The objectless Doubt Is
Also Made To Seem. Or If The Doubt Appears, Heart-Boredom Is
Likewise Suffered. And If the mind Of Doubt and The Heart Of
Boredom Are Suffered, the entire body-mind Is Expressed By
Either Chronic Or Variously Ranging Signs Of Discomfort (or
Dis-ease). Therefore, In The Case Of My Actually Me-Seeing
Devotees, These Three (Doubt, Boredom, and Discomfort) Are
The Always Simultaneous Moods and Signs That May Tend To
Appear (and That May, By Their Appearing, Tend To Diminish
Spiritual Communion With My Avatarically Self-Transmitted
Divine Love-Bliss). My Devotee In The First Actually Seeing Stage Of The Way
Of The Heart Discovers (By Real, and Really
ego-Transcending, Spiritual Communion With Me, and, Thus and
Thereby, With My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine
Love-Bliss) That The ordinary (and egoic) Struggle With
concrete doubts, negative thoughts, emotional reactions, and
grosser bodily discomforts (or All The egoic Patterns Of
Resistance To The Discipline Of True Sila, or functional,
practical, relational, and Cultural self-Control) Is
(Already, and More and More) Superseded (and Even Replaced)
By The True Spiritual Ordeal Of (Spiritually) Fully
Technically Responsible frontal Communion With My Spiritual
(and Always Blessing) Divine Presence Of Avatarically
Self-Transmitted “Bright” (or Self-Radiant, Self-Existing,
and Self-Evidently Divine) Love-Bliss, and By The
By-My-Avataric-Divine-Spiritual-Grace-Given Process Of
(Effectively and Fully) Feeling Beyond The Primary (and Even
objectless) Signs Of Doubt, Boredom, and Discomfort – or The
frontal Efforts Of self-Contraction That (Comparatively)
Would Diminish, Rather Than (Otherwise, or Apart From The
Exercise Of The Hearing-and-Seeing Capability) Would
Entirely Prevent, moment to moment Spiritual Communion With
My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine Love-Bliss. Therefore, Even Though The True (and Maturing) Devotee In
The First Actually Seeing Stage (and Beyond) Of The Way Of
The Heart May Sometimes (In Random and occasional moments)
Be Obliged To Transcend The Lingering “Grosser” Resistance
(or Love-Bliss-Preventing Reactivity) Of the body-mind, The
Primary and Constant Practice and Process (Until The Way Of
The Heart Is, By Means Of My Avatarically Self-Transmitted
Divine Spiritual Grace, Awakened Into The Divinely
Self-Realized and Love-Bliss-Realized, and, On That Basis,
Most Perfectly Devotional, Context Of The Only-By-Me
Revealed and Given Seventh Stage Of Life) Is The
ego-Surrendering, ego Forgetting, and ego-Transcending
Ordeal Of Direct and Immediate and Fully Technically
Responsible Spiritual (and Always Devotional, and Truly
Feeling Contemplative, and Searchlessly Me-Beholding, and
Upward-To-Me-Opening) Communion With Me (and, Thus and
Thereby, With My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine
Love-Bliss Itself) and This Is Done On The Basis Of True and
Basic psycho-physical and Spiritual Equanimity, Already
Established By Virtue Of Previous Right and Complete
Fulfillment Of The Listening Stage, The Hearing Stage, and
The Would-Be-Seeing, or Progressively Seeing, Stage Of The
Way Of The Heart (and, Therefore, Rather, or Relatively,
Easily Maintained By Constant Right Discipline and
Consistent Real Heart-Practice). The Characteristic Mood and the Basic character of the
egoic individual In The First Three Stages Of Life Are
Exhibited In Terms Of What I Call “Vital”, “Peculiar”, and
“Solid” personality Patterns. These Patterns Correspond,
Respectively, To Reactive (or ego-Preserving and
ego-Dramatizing) Strategies Of Either A Characteristically
vital (or “vitally”-and, Perhaps, or Sometimes, Even
“Grossly”-physical) Kind Or A Characteristically emotional
(or emotionally “peculiar”, and, Perhaps, or Sometimes, Even
Hysterical) Kind Or A Characteristically mental (or mentally
“solid”, or Strategically-and, Principally, By Means Of
ego-Efforts That Exploit the conceptual mind-Invulnerable)
Kind. The Dominant Characteristics Of the “Vital” character Are
Obsessive and Compulsive vital-physical self-Expression and
The Chronic, Excessive, and Even, Degenerative Dramatization
Of bodily self-Indulgence. The “Vital” character Is Also
Associated With Diminished (or Suppressed) emotional
Capability (Often Expressed Via a One-Dimensional, Generally
Invariable, and Superficially Positive emotional state), and
it Is Generally Represented By Either mental Dullness Or A
Chaotic (or Undisciplined) Display Of the conceptual (or
intellectual) function. The Dominant Characteristics Of the “Peculiar” character
Are Excessively “Romantic” (or Even Sentimental) and
Idealistic (or Un-Realistic) Expectations (That Are
Inevitably Frustrated) and The Loss Of Balance Via Chronic
emotional Hypersensitivity and The Dramatization Of
Exaggerated “Mood Swings” (or The Tendency To Alternate
Dramatically, Even Without Apparent cause, Between Very;
Positive and Very Negative or Depressed or Hysterical
emotional states). The “Peculiar” character Is Also
Associated With Diminished conceptual (or intellectual)
Capability (Characterized By Mechanical or Superficial
Application Of mind), and it Is Generally Represented By
Either Suppressed Or Chaotically Displayed vital-physical
functions (Characterized By vital weakness and nervous
energy). The Dominant Characteristics Of the “Solid” character Are
Hyperactivity Of the conceptual mind and The Chronic
Dramatization Of A Profound (and Even Suppressive) Need To
Control the psycho-physical self (and others), Especially
Via The Efforts Of the conceptual mind and the effects Of
merely conceptual Expression. The “Solid” character Is Also
Associated With Diminished or Suppressed (or Over-Controlled
and Mechanical) vital-physical activity or Capability, and
it Is Generally Represented By A Suppression (or Sometimes
Chaotic Display) Of emotional Expression (Of both Positive,
or Non-Reactive, and Negative, or Reactive, emotions). Most individuals Express themselves In A Complex Fashion,
Combining (In One or Another Manner) Two, or Even All Three,
Of These Chronic egoic Strategies – but every egoic
individual Is Basically Dominated By One Of These Three
Reactive Designs. And The Characteristic Mood (or Effort)
Determined By Each Design Dictates The Characteristic
Expression Of bodily energy and human Aliveness Via The
Region Of the throat. Thus, the “Solid” character Tends
Toward Suppression (or Negatively and Mechanically
Controlled Expression) Of bodily energy and human Aliveness.
The “Vital” character Tends Toward A Chaotic (and Even
Degenerative) Expression Of bodily energy and human
Aliveness. And the “Peculiar” character Tends To Swing (In
Hysterical Fashion) Between Chaotic and Suppressive
Expressions Of bodily energy and human Aliveness. Insofar As These egoic Strategies Simply Represent The
ordinary and Spirit-Preventing Efforts Associated With The
First Three Stages Of Life, They Must Be Observed
(personally), Understood (Most Fundamentally), and
Transcended (Truly Effectively) During The Three Periods Of
Intensive Listening and (Then) Hearing Practice – and The
Capability Of Those egoic Strategies To Prevent
Heart-Communion With Me Is Finally Undone (By means Of My
Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine Spiritual Grace) In The
Eventual Awakening Of The True Seeing Of Me (In The
Culmination Of The Would-Be Seeing, or Progressively Seeing,
Stage Of The Way Of The Heart). However, Insofar As These
egoic Strategies Represent Only The Spirit-Diminishing
Tendencies Of the humanly Adapted frontal personality (and
Frontal Line) Of My Actually Me-Seeing Devotee, They May
Continue To Be Responsibly Transcended and Released (and
Replaced By Spiritually Positive Signs) In The Truly Both
Hearing and Seeing Practice Of The Way Of The Heart (and
First, and Especially, and With Principal Effectiveness, In
The First Actually Seeing Stage Of The Way Of The
Heart). Deeper Than the head and the throat, and Central To the
body-mind As A Whole, Is The Heart. In The Case Of My Seeing
Devotee Practicing The Way Of The Heart In The Fully
Established “Basic” Context Of The Fourth Stage Of Life, The
Left (or physical and lower psychic) and The Middle (or
subtle and deeper psychic) Regions Of The Heart Are
functionally Evident (In The Context Of the frontal
personality), but The Right Side Of The Heart (Which Is The
Root-Source, or Point Of Origin, Of egoic
self-Consciousness, and Which Is Also, Ultimately, The
Heart-Seat, or Horizontal-Plane Focus, Of Transcendental,
Inherently Spiritual, and Most Perfect Divine
Self-Realization) Is Only Latently Evident In the egoic
individual Previous To The Transition To The “Perfect
Practice” Of The Way Of The Heart. The (General) Heart-Region (or Horizontal Core) Of the
egoic individual Functions (In The Descended Context Of the
body-mind) As The Primary Seat Of functional emotion and
(Potentially) Of My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine
Spirit-Energy. And The Heart-Expression Is Retarded (and
Even Prevented) By the self-Contraction, Such That It
Becomes Characterized By A Range Of Non-Spiritual and (In
The Actually Me – Seeing Case) Diminished Spiritual Signs –
From The Absence Of Spiritual Awareness To (In The Actually
Me – Seeing Case) The Spiritual “Disease” Of Diminished
Spiritual Delight (or Diminished Spiritual Awareness Of My
Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine Love-Bliss). And The
self-Contracted Heart Is Also Characterized By A Range Of
emotions Associated With Un-Love, or Non-Love, or ego-Based
and Superficial Pseudo-Love, or Diminished Love. The (Fully Technically Responsible) Spiritual Yoga Of
Devotional self-Surrender Of the frontal personality To Me
(Begun In The Would-Be-Seeing, or Progressively Seeing,
Stage Of The Way Of The Heart, and Continued, To The Degree
Of True Spiritual Fullness In The Total Context Of The
Frontal Line and the frontal personality Of the body-mind,
In The First Actually Seeing Stage Of The Way Of The Heart)
Is First (and Spiritually) To Purify, Rebalance, and
Regenerate The head, throat, and Heart Regions Of The
Frontal Line. In That Initial Process, Chronic (and
Love-Bliss-Diminishing) Doubt, Boredom, and Discomfort,
Love-Bliss-Diminishing Aspects Of “Vital”, “Peculiar”, and
“Solid” character-Strategies, Love-Bliss-Diminishing
Suppression or Chaos Of bodily energy and human Aliveness,
and Love-Bliss-Diminishing emotional Expressions Of Un-Love
and Non-Love and Pseudo-Love and Diminished Love, and All
Other Forms Of Diminished Heart-Expression and
Heart-Delight, Are To Be Progressively (and To A humanly and
Spiritually Significant Degree) Released-and These Are (By
Truly Spiritual Heart-Cooperation With Me) Responsively (and
By Means Of My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine
Spiritual Grace) To Be Replaced By the mind Of
Ruchira-Avatar Praise and Real-God-Aware Happiness, and By
Spiritually Fully Infused Equanimity, and By Fullness Of
Both human Aliveness and Spirit-Life, and By The Heart
Radiant Disposition Of ego-Transcending Love. Once The Initial Purifying Work Of My Avatarically
Self-Transmitted Divine Spirit-Energy Has (In The First
Phase Of The First Actually Seeing Stage Of The Way Of The
Heart) Become Significantly Effective In The Frontal Line Of
the body-mind, The (Fully Technically Responsible) Spiritual
Yoga Of Devotional self-Surrender Of the frontal personality
To Me Can (and Must) Then (and By Means Of My Avatarically
Self-Transmitted Divine Spiritual Grace, In The Second, and
Final, or Fullest, Phase Of The First Actually Seeing Stage
Of The Way Of The Heart) “Break the navel” (or Release and
Open The Knot, or self-Contraction, in The lower frontal
Pattern Of the body-mind), and, Thus (By Means Of My
Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine Spiritual Grace),
Spiritually Purify, Rebalance, and Regenerate The Deeper (or
Base) Regions Of The Frontal Line. The Deeper (or Base) Regions Of the body-mind Are
Associated With The (Rather Unconscious) Root-Reactivity Of
the born personality. That Root Reactivity Is Represented By
Anger (In The Region Of the solar plexus and the navel),
Sorrow (Deeper, In The Region Of the lower abdomen and the
genitals), and Fear (In The Deepest Region, The Region Of
the perineum, the core of the bodily base). These Great and
Base Reactions Are Not Commonly experienced (In Their Most
Profound Forms) in the daily course, and (Therefore, In
General) They Do Not (or Cannot) Directly and Effectively
(or experientially) Either Prevent Or Diminish Spiritual
Communion With My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine
Love-Bliss. The More Superficial Patterns (In The Heart,
throat, and head Regions) – Including Occasional and Lesser
Expressions Of Fear, Sorrow, and Anger-Are Commonly Indulged
(To The Degree] Of, Effectively, Either Preventing Or,
Potentially, Diminishing Spiritual Communion With My
Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine Love-Bliss), but The
Great Base Reactions Are Commonly (or In the Average moments
of daily life) Suppressed (or Strategically Avoided), Even
Though They Are At The Root Of All Superficial Reactivity
and All conventional Patterning. Spiritually Untouched Anger, Sorrow, and Fear (Along With
Aggressive, Un-Love) Are The Dark, or Hidden (and Generally
Unconscious), Side Of; The Heart (In Its Apparent
Association With egoity)-Whereas The Less Aggressive (or
Less Debilitating) Expressions Of Fear, Sorrow, Anger,
Un-Love, Non-Love, Pseudo-Love, and Diminished Love (As Well
As The ordinary Chaos or Suppression Of bodily energy and
human Aliveness, and Also Even Chronic Doubt, Boredom, and
Discomfort) Are The Commonly Dramatized (and Even “socially
Acceptable”) Side Of The Heart (In The Context Of Apparent
egoity). Therefore, in The Only-By-Me Revealed and Given Way
Of The Heart (or Way Of Adidam), It Is Only When The Deep
Reactive Base Of The Heart (and the Total frontal
personality) – is (Through The Fully Technically Responsible
Spiritual Heart-Practice Of Devotional self-Surrender To Me
In The Frontal Line) Invaded (or infused) By My
(Avatarically Self-Transmitted) Baptizing, Purifying,
Rebalancing, and Regenerative Spiritual (and Always
Blessing) Divine Love-bliss-Presence That the frontal
personality Is Most Fully (or Maximally, To The Fullest
Degree Possible Previous To The Divinely Enlightened
Awakening Associated With The Only-By-Me Revealed and Given
Seventh Stage Of Life) Restored To Superior (or Spiritually
Fully Infused) Equanimity, and To Optimum Clarity Of
Awareness, and To Constantly Capable Feeling Responsibility
For mental, emotional, and physical Negativity, and To Truly
Fundamental (and Undiminished) Love (or The Free Happiness
Of Delight In The Spirit-Current Of My Avatarically
Self-Transmitted Divine Love-Bliss). This Process Of Total frontal Invasion (or Infusion) By
My Avatarically Self Transmitted Spirit-Current Of Divine
Love-Bliss (In The First Actually Seeing Stage Of The Way Of
The Heart) Does Not Itself Require (or Necessarily Involve
the Conscious experience Of) The Most Debilitating
Revelation Of Base Fear, Sorrow, and Anger – but (Rather)
The Process Directly (and Most Simply) Involves and Requires
The Deep Opening Of The Base Regions Of The Frontal Line Of
the body-mind To My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine
Spirit-Presence Of Love-Bliss Itself (Such That The Base
Reactions That Are Otherwise Locked Away As Fear, Sorrow,
and Anger Are Directly and Immediately Replaced, In The
Event Of The Invasion Of The Frontal Line By My Avatarically
Self-Transmitted Divine Spiritual Grace, With The Fullness
and Delight and Freedom That Is My Divine Self-Condition Of
Love-Bliss Itself). And The Fullest (or Maximal) Spiritual
Restoration Of the frontal personality To My Avatarically
Self-Transmitted Divine Love-Bliss Itself (Such As This May
Be Realized Previous To Most Perfect Divine Awakening, and
The Demonstration Of The Only-By-Me Revealed and Given
Seventh Stage Of Life) Is The Primary Sign That Is To Be
Realized (At The Point Of Basic Maturity) In The First
Actually Seeing Stage Of The Way Of The Heart. Indeed, This
Primary Sign Is So Potent As A Base Of Heart-Awakening That
Direct Awakening To The Position Of The
Witness-Consciousness (By Means Of The Only-By-Me Revealed
and Given Samadhi Of The “Thumbs”), and (Consequent)
Transition To The “Perfect Practice” Of The Way Of The
Heart, Will (In Due Course, By Means Of My’, Avatarically
Self-Transmitted Divine Spiritual Grace) Occur At The Point
Of Basic Maturity In The First Actually Seeing Stage Of The
Way Of The Heart. Only When Chronic (and ordinary) Anger, Sorrow, and Fear
(Which Effectively Separate the psycho-physical being From
all ordinary relations) Are (By The Awakening, and The
Subsequent Exercise, Of Most Fundamental self Understanding)
Capably, Directly, and Effectively Released (In The Maturity
Of The Intensive Listening-Hearing Process Of The Way Of The
Heart) Can It Be Said That The First Three Stages Of Life
(and The “Original”, or Beginner’s, Devotional – and, In The
Foundation Sense, Spiritual-Development Of The Fourth Stage
Of Life) Are Complete (and That the Possible limitations Of
The First Three Stages Of Life Are Inherently and
Effectively Transcended, By Means Of The True Hearing Of Me,
and By Basic, and Basically Stable, and Truly Hearing-Based
human – and, In The Foundation Sense, Spiritual Equanimity).
And Only When The Degrees Of ordinary Anger, Sorrow, and
Fear That Prevent Heart-Communion With Me Are Spiritually
Released (In The Context Of The Fully Technically
Responsible Spiritual Awakening Associated With Maturity In
The Would-Be-Seeing, or Progressively Seeing, Stage Of The
Way Of The Heart) Can It Be Said That The Fourth-Stage – Of
Life Practice Of The Way Of The Heart (In Its Fully
Established “Basic”, or First Actually Seeing, Form) Has
Truly and Fully Begun. Therefore, Practice Of The Way Of The
Heart In The (Spiritually) Fully Technically Responsible
Context Of The “Basic” Fourth Stage Of Life Cannot Be Truly
and Fully Established Until (By Means Of My Avatarically
Self-Transmitted Divine Spiritual Grace) Chronic (or
ordinary, and Also Happiness-Preventing) Fear, Sorrow, and
Anger Are Transcended, Via The Awakening (and The Effective
Exercise) Of Both The True Hearing Of Me (or Most
Fundamental self-Understanding, Demonstrated By Basic human
– and, In The Foundation Sense, Spiritual-Equanimity) and
The True Seeing Of Me (or Real Spiritual Heart-Conversion,
Demonstrated By Ever-Increasing Spiritual Equanimity and
Fullness). Fear Is The Primary Mood Of Separation. Fear Is
Especially Associated With The First Stage Of Life and The
Vital Shock Of birth. It Is Signaled By the gaping mouth (In
Pitiful Awe), As If the mother’s teat Were Suddenly Torn
From the infant lips. Fear Is Also The Principal Motivating Mood Of the “Solid”
character. Paradoxically, the Obsessively self-Controlling
and other-Controlling “Solid” character (Chronically Seeking
To Be “In Control”, or Chronically “Talking” As If “In
Control”, or, Altogether, Chronically “Seeming” To Presume
To Be “In Control”) Is Founded On A Fear Of Being Controlled
By others (or By conditions outside the body-mind-self). And
That Fear Is Originally Developed In the years of infancy,
childhood, and adolescence-Generally In A Passive and Rather
infantile Reaction Either To The Feeling Or To the Actual
experience Of Being Too Much Controlled and Threatened By
others, Especially adults. Sorrow Is The Primary Mood Of the Rejected individual.
Sorrow Is Especially Associated With The Second Stage Of
Life, The Loss Of self-Security, and The Loss of Power over
others On whom one Depends. It Is Signaled By the grimace,
the downturned and puckered mouth-As In the eliminative anal
grunt, The End-Game Of oral Dependency. Sorrow Is Also The Principal Motivating Mood Of the
“Peculiar” character. The Alternately Idealistically (and,
Thus, mentally) self-Controlled and (Otherwise) Chaotically
self-Indulgent “Peculiar” character Is Founded On A Basic
and Sorrowful Feeling Of Being Neglected. The Chronic Sorrow
Of the “Peculiar” character Is A Yearning To Be Effectively
Touched (or Loved). It Is A Call and Even An Hysterical Need
(or Search) To Be Controlled (or Restored To Balance By A
Positive Controlling Influence). And That Sorrowful Need Is
Originally Developed in the years of infancy, childhood, and
adolescence Generally In An Hysterical and Rather childish
Reaction Either To The Feeling Or To the Actual experience
Of Being Neglected, Denied Love, and Denied A Positive,
Controlling Influence. Anger Is The Primary Mood Of Reaction To All That Seems
To Justify Fear and Sorrow. It Is Especially Associated With
The Third Stage Of Life-Which Is Characterized By The
adolescent Struggle With The Motives Of Dependence and
Independence, and The Aggressive Effort Toward genital
Victory (Glorifying the Separate and Separative self,
egoically Powerful Over all others). It Is Signaled By the
tortured mouth with gnashing teeth, The facial Display Of
genital Shapes and genital Agony. Everything Of The First
Three Stages Of Life Is Displayed In common egoic Anger.
Even egoic sex Is Full Of Rejection and Anger-Threatened By
Loss and Sorrow, and Convinced Of Fearful separation. Anger Is Also The Principal Motivating Mood Of the
“Vital” character. The “Vital” character Is
Characteristically self-Indulgent, vitally (or physically).
The Mood Of This Pattern Is Always Rather Rebellious.
Indeed, Even the Most Apparently Carefree, self-pleasurizing
“Vital” character Is Dramatizing Resistance and Refusal. The
“Vital” character Is Founded On An Angry Reaction To
Controls and Demands. The Characteristic behavior-Pattern
Associated With the “Vital” character Is A Chronic Effort To
Resist, Refuse, or Avoid The Controlling Influence Of others
(or Even Of the mind) On The personal bodily Existence Of
the conditional self. And That Angry Mood Is Originally
Developed In the years of infancy, childhood, and
adolescence Generally In An Aggressive and Rather adolescent
Reaction Either To The Feeling Or To the Actual experience
Of Being Too Much Controlled and Threatened By others,
Especially adults. Truly human and adult Maturity Requires The Transcending
Of The Chronic and Obsessive character Patterns Developed In
the years of infancy, childhood, and adolescence. Truly
human and adult Maturity Is The Achievement Of A Balance
Between The Motive Toward Control Of the psycho-physical
self and The Motive Toward Motion (or Excitation) Of the
psycho-physical self. Truly human and adult Maturity
Requires self-Control and A Willingness To Be Even
physically Affected, emotionally Touched, mentally
Influenced and (Thus, To A Significant Degree) Controlled By
others. Likewise, Truly human adulthood (or Maturity)
Requires The Constant Exercise (or Excitation) The Motive Of
(or Toward) Real Freedom (Even The Most Ultimate Freedom Of
Utter ego-Transcendence and inherent, and Inherently Most
Perfect, Realization Of Me – The Avataric Self-Revelation Of
The Transcendental, Inherently Spiritual, Inherently
egoless, and Self-Evidently Divine Self-Condition, and
Source-Condition, Of all-and-All). The Tendency To perceive Existence As A Problem, or To
conceive and Suffer An Inherent Conflict Between Control and
Freedom, Must Be Transcended In Wisdom. The “Father-Force”
(or The Husbanding Force, or The Controlling and Demanding
Influence) and The “Mother-Force” (or The Feminine Force, or
The Nurturing and Supporting Influence) Must Both Be
Discovered, Accepted, and Integrated Into The
psycho-physical Patterns Of Your Own Real Existence. When
That Integration Is Real and Stable, Such That The human
Pattern Of Your Own body-mind Is Basically Balanced,
Intelligent, self-Disciplined, and Also (By Means Of My
Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine Spiritual Grace)
Directly Communing With My Avatarically Self-Transmitted
Divine Spirit-Presence-Of Love-Bliss (bodily, emotionally,
and mentally) Then The Transition To Practice Of The Way Of
The Heart Beyond the limits Of The First Three Stages Of
Life-and Beyond the limits (or Rudiments) Of The “Original”
(or Beginner’s) Devotional (and, In The Foundation Sense,
Spiritual) Context Of The Fourth Stage Of Life – Has Really
Been Completed, and Practice Of The Way Of The Heart In The
(Spiritually) Fully Technically Responsible Context Of The
“Basic” Fourth Stage Of Life Has Been Granted A Full and
Stable Basis. Therefore, It Is The Establishment Of This
Both human and (Fully Technically Responsible) Spiritual
Basis For Maturing Practice Of The Way Of The Heart (or The
Real and Most Basic Process Of Truly Both Hearing Me and
Seeing Me) That Must Precede The Transition To The First
Actually Seeing Stage Of The Way Of The Heart. There Is No Fullest (and To The Fullest Degree Spiritual)
Integration Of the frontal (or ordinary) human personality
Until My Avatarically Self-Revealed Divine Spirit-Presence
Fully Infuses the Surrendered body-mind With My Divine
Love-Bliss (and, Thereby, Fills and Replaces The Spaces Of
mental, emotional, and physical Negativity). Therefore, By
Means Of My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine Spiritual
Grace, The Wandering and self-Contracted Heart Must Find Its
Own True “Father” and “Mother”. Even the Total body-mind Must Cling To My Divine
Conscious Light, Calming breath and mind In Love-Bliss, if
the ego-self and others Are To Be Sublimed, All Well and
“Bright”. Therefore, By Means Of My Avatarically
Self-Transmitted Divine Spiritual Grace, The Wandering and
self-Contracted Heart Must Find Its Own True Husband -The
“Father” – Revealing and “Mother” Revealing “Son” Of The
Only Source Of all-and-All. The Heart Must Surrender Itself In Listening Love To The
Husbanding “Bright” companion – and This Love-Surrender Must
Become A Truly Me Hearing and Me-Seeing Yoga Of Devotional
Recognition-Response To Me. The Heart That Hears Me and Sees Me Must Meet The
Husband’s Spirit Mark, and Many Signs Must Appear (By Means
Of My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine Spiritual Grace)
Before My Work Is “Bright” and Done.
