★The cause of unhappiness lies in mistaken recognitions attached to the astral and physical bodies

And one more quality they all share is that they don’t cling stubbornly to anything.

For example, suppose someone resolves, “I’m going to evolve my consciousness!”

Up to that point, people with negative habits and people with positive habits are the same.

The problem comes after that. People with negative habits keep clinging to and staying with the thought, “I want to evolve my consciousness!” while people with positive habits have already moved on to action for evolving their consciousness, and don’t stay clinging to the thought “I want to evolve my consciousness!”

We don’t think there’s a single person who aims for the evolution of consciousness and wants to stay in a negative state. But as a result, people are divided into those who stay in a state of negative habits and those who don’t stay there but keep moving on and on, aren’t they?

You could say the difference is whether the substance of their thoughts is sticky, or keeps flowing smoothly, smoothly.

And in fact, the only part of consciousness that has settled comfortably into negativity is the thought-consciousness attached to the physical body and the astral body.

If all the thoughts attached to the physical and astral bodies are made clear and free of attachment, then anyone, even if they tried to react with backward-looking thoughts, could no longer.

The field of view of consciousness really expands—so much that you think, “What were those days of suffering and worry until just recently?”

To put it another way, the realm of consciousness with poor visibility is only a tiny part of the whole realm of the consciousness of life.

★The secret to overwriting and saving habitual recognition (2)

To give an example of what this means: if you grilled saury on a charcoal brazier inside your house without turning on the fan or opening the windows, the house would fill with thick smoke, wouldn’t it?

But if you step outside, the sky is wide, blue, and clear, and nothing is wrong at all.

In this case, the astral body is the house, the physical body is you grilling the saury, and the space outside the house is the world of the spirit body and the divine body.

Even the smoke filling the house, if you open the windows or turn on the fan, will eventually melt and spread into the air and disappear, won’t it?

When your consciousness is stuck flat against the physical body, changing your present situation may seem very difficult. But as in this example, airing out the smoke you’ve already produced (negative habitual thoughts) by opening the windows or turning on the fan is what overwriting dark recognition with bright recognition means.

Shrinking back with thoughts like “someone like me” and overwriting and saving recognitions of self-denial and self-limitation is, first and foremost, the figure of someone living while being dragged along by habitual memories and recognitions that have completely forgotten divinity, the true body and true heart of life.

So rethink it: “Ah, my recognitions until now weren’t what my true self thought. My true self is the light of divinity that shares in the infinite power that created the universe. My physical body is only one of the branch offices at the far end of that light. From today on, I’ll acknowledge myself as a divine being and live making full use of the infinite creativity within me that I haven’t yet drawn out.” Then do what you want to do, the way you want to do it.

If it turns out that it isn’t really what you should be doing, then as long as you live positively, a different path will open before you before long. So it’s good to live letting your thoughts flow smoothly, not getting caught by anything, and using your consciousness freely and flexibly.

And shrinking yourself out of deference to the ties that bind you is also a waste of consciousness, so there’s no need for it.

Express the light of life you were born with, freely and fully.

Because that is also the meaning of living. (The End)
