Re: I HAVE ACHIEVED THIS HIGHER CONCIOUSNESS
Your kindness, compassion, and faith all show that you are one with an elevated consciousness. There is no doubt in it. And God knows this

I agree let experience be your first teacher.Yeh ek pal hai,ek leher hai.....iska khud ko ehsaas hona zarori hai......tu hi sagar hai tu hi kinara dondhta hai tu kiska sahara......! A very well written piece  once again.

I HAVE ACHIEVED THIS HIGHER CONCIOUSNESS
in just one area of my being. Years ago when I was really poor...by Western standards.....I gave my finacial worries over to God. I would work hard, study hard but the ability to pay the rent and feed my children became God's and I no longer concerned myself, nor did I need to. Nor do I to this day.  It would be wonderful to have this feeling in all other areas of my life.

Pestilence is a disease that spreads like epidemic, and then there is no control, and that is why it is so difficult to reach self-mastery. And nowadays nobody has the time or the inclination to dig in the way those people of the olden times used to.  Mik must have experienced the euphoria in the forgetting of his limits, so involved he must have been. People who take part in daredevil sports, in their own words, experience a 'spiritual high', . That is its very attraction. As long as they keep experiencing this high or euphoria, they feel ecstatic, similar in experience of the yogis. Practice means that if one falters and is determined, he starts all over again, and then again until he is perfected. The peak of Japanese/Chinese martial arts is an example of whet perfect mind control means. These practices were the teachings of Buddhism, which they took from India to China and finally to Japan. They say they fight 'without the mind'. It was a pleasure discussing this with you, and oh, what a fine reader you are. You make my effort meaningful. So thanks a ton .

The lower self is a pest! I was enthralled with this explanation! I have reach it to a degree, but never mastery for I allow all the wrong things associated with the lower self stop me from atting the peace of the higher self! When I was reading your fine explanation I thought of my oldest son Mik. He ran cross country for several year in middle  school and high school. He would tell me of a euphoria he would experience when, in his words, he ran beyond the limitations of his mind. He could make himself run until he reached that euphoria for it was 'high' that was that was in the present, so free and it took a lot of practice to get there! He conquered his mind as you stated in your eloquent essay! I think in the practice, without true determination it allows the lower self to win out as it were and thus we find it difficult to maintain the practice! I think Mik, as a runner, was able to reach a plateau quicker and had he studied yoga at the time I truly believe he would have been incredibly successful! Shelly
