About Seven Existences of the Self 3/16/10
Answers to Seven Existences of the Self
About 2 a.m. this morning I awoke to something of a “visitation”. I had this matter foremost in
my mind, and I received quite a dissertation on it. First I was thinking:
Be = Is
Cause = bring into existence
I am = Self awareness
I can = capacity to accomplish which requires impacting one’s world
From the dictionary:
cause [kawz]
n (plural caus•es)
1. what makes something happen: a person or thing that makes something happen or exist or is
responsible for something that happens
the cause of all the uproar
2. reason: a reason or grounds for doing or feeling something
Thus: Be = Is, Cause = Reason
Ergo: The reason I am is so I can
(Just a thought.)
This brought me to remember that in the beginning of teaching us to invoke the teachers gave us
the phrase “I am disciplined forcefulness of The Absolute”. “Forcefulness” got changed to
“force” by Myra and because it was easier to remember and say. The group just went along with
her and it became the custom. But when you think about it “force” and “forcefulness” are not the
same thing. I used “forcefulness” in this morning’s meditations and experienced a completely
different realization from it.
Then I remembered that invoking the Archangels by saying their names is to activate
that power center with in us. Simply saying “force” does not put that power anywhere.
“Forcefulness” empowers one to apply the power of Khamael and realize whatever we want to
create.
I regret that I now cannot recall exactly the words told me in the middle of the night,
but it was very invigorating and inspiring, so I will continue to work on remembering, or getting
it again. But for now I’m afraid this is all I can give you.
