Lesson 60

 

The Pendulum Of Awareness

 

Man, awareness, seeks happiness, and when he

finds happiness, he often

finds fault with it, and then he becomes aware in

unhappy areas of the

mind. This gives him the power to seek happiness

again. Man finds fault

with happiness and begins to look for something

better. In looking for

something better, he becomes selfish, greedy,

unhappy, and finally he

attains what he thinks will make him happy. He

finds that it does not, and

this makes him again unhappy, and he goes on

through life like this. That

is the cycle of awareness traveling through the

instinctive-intellectual

areas of the mind. Therefore, when you are

unhappy, don't feel unhappy

about it! And when you become happy, know that

the pendulum of awareness

will eventually swing to its counter side. This

is the natural and the

normal cycle of awareness.

 

 

 

When you are feeling unhappy and you feel unhappy

because you are unhappy,

and you feel rather ill all over, sit down and

breathe deeply. Try to

control your individual awareness and become

aware of an area of the mind

that is always buoyant and happy. Be gentle with

your awareness. Realize

that you are not the unhappy area of the mind

that you are aware

of. Whatever was the cause of your unhappiness

doesn't really matter,

because the powerful radiance within the lotus of

the heart knows nothing

of this unhappy area of the mind. You will be

surprised at how quickly

your awareness will move from the unhappy area of

the mind, seemingly

rejuvenate itself and become joyous again at the

very thought of the

Self God within the lotus of your heart.
