Laying the Foundation of Consciousness (Part 1)

★What You Need to Know to Truly Change Yourself

When you hear someone’s good talk, do you ever think, “I can’t do that, it’s impossible. That person is special”?

Today, let’s talk to such people in a way that makes courage come welling up.

Many people who aim for the evolution of consciousness think, “I can’t stay as I am now. I want to change myself. I will change.”

But because they don’t know the knack of changing, many get pulled back by negative thoughts billowing up like smoke, turn back along the road they’ve walked, and end up right back where they started.

That’s such a waste.

The way to keep that from happening is to lay the foundation of consciousness firmly.

You know, when you put up a building, you do foundation work, right?

It’s just like that: when the foundation of the heart isn’t solid, thoughts wobble this way and that way.

We may have talked about this before, but today let’s talk again about what laying the foundation of consciousness means.

★Laying the Foundation of Consciousness: Three Beginner Articles

First, know what the essence of human life is.

For those who read our talks again and again, this must be something you’re tired of seeing by now.

Yes, it’s divinity.

Know that, and make it part of your very thinking.

You could also call it the consciousness at the wellspring of the great wisdom that creates and moves the universe, the incomparable, absolute source of energy.

The second thing to know is that this infinite wisdom of creation, in the Earth world where people came down from other stars, was gradually forgotten through repeated reincarnations clothed in the limiting body called the physical body, until at last it was completely forgotten, and people came to believe themselves to be limited, imperfect, and disharmonious beings.

In terms of the nature of thoughts, that is all kinds of desire, fear, sorrow, and hatred themselves, and they hung like dark clouds in the sky of the heart, so that the sun of life, the light of life, became dim, reaching only faintly.

And the third thing you must know is that training is needed to clearly tell apart the essence of life from the various karmic vibrations.

If, after firmly carrying out these “Three Beginner Articles for Laying the Foundation of Consciousness,” you always keep up the “slow, relaxed, unhurried breathing” we always talk about, the wisdom, insight, and power to act that you need will well up, and changing yourself will become easy.
