All the possibilities are in me, but I can pass my life without any real change. The highest energy, which gives birth to all others, is in me. It is part of me.
The question is not to make it appear but to allow it to appear, to submit to its action. The more I try, the more the way is restricted, nothing gets through.
I must learn to submit voluntarily to its influence. The active force and the passive force are always present in us. But two forces alone are not enough. They are not related. A third, reconciling force needs to appear, a certain feeling that allows a relation and thus transforms everything.
If we could see the action of this law of forces, we would understand better why it is so difficult to be present to oneself and to remain here.
I need to be present to two parts of myself at the same time, and to experience the necessity of a reconciling force between them.
A new feeling must then appear—a feeling of “I” that is turned toward a greater reality in which I participate and, at the same time, drawn by the world in which I live.
The call of these two worlds requires me to be present, understanding that they cannot exist without each other and that one should be spiritualized by the other. A conscious relation must appear.
Relation is contact, a direct contact on the same level with the same intensity. There are different kinds of contact: one time I feel, another time I have a sensation, at another moment I see. When the intensity is the same in all three centers, there is consciousness.
But a conscious relation cannot come from the old thinking, which clings to words and images. It has no power to see the unknown. Another dimension cannot appear as long as the old thinking is active.
I begin to discover that the highest energy in me is not free, that my thought fashions the state in which I find myself. When I see my suggestibility to the least of my thoughts, my interest awakens...
