"The reason for so much of our troubles is that the mind is the servant of the emotions. It must become the master of the emotions."

The Well of Life

Humanity is at the bottom of the well of life. The body is the well. What we call living is the existence of humanity at the bottom of the well. In order to climb out of the well, we must move toward pure spirit. While we are at the bottom of the well, the memory of life above the rim of the well is kept in dreams.

The rim of the well is reality. It is a state of moving from death to life. First, we must awaken. We must inverse our consciousness. At a point of recognition, we start climbing our way out of the well. There is no mass exit from the well.

Not wanting to separate from profit and advantage keeps us from climbing out of the well. Those who climb out of the well become the leaders of humanity.

After climbing out of the well, some people return to the well in order to tell others of the true life beyond. When we reach the top of the well, consciousness absorbs us. We start to move toward right thinking, right speaking, and right action. When we do something wrong, we invoke a crisis. Anyone who is always in trouble cannot be right.

The reason for so much of our troubles is that the mind is the servant of the emotions. It must become the master of the emotions. The pressure of desire leads to dishonest thinking, speaking and actions. So, in order to find true honesty, we must find God within ourselves.

Cosmic consciousness bestows universal compassion. All desire to pass judgment passes away in cosmic consciousness. In cosmic consciousness the true value of life can never be lost.

Total consciousness is total life in total suspension. Pure consciousness does not move, because it is the end of motion. In pure consciousness all illusions vanish. There is only totality; absorption of all at the top of the well. There is no resemblance to anything we have known. In order to climb the well, we must go within to the source and climb toward spirit. At the rim, we find the true light, the bliss within.

That which is above the rim of the well is normal; the earth below is the abnormal.
