The lessons on seeing beyond the physical will be helpful for two reasons. First it proves to the student that there are things to see beyond this realm. It should add to one’s faith that there is more reality to see and contact. Perhaps the idea of contacting the soul, higher self, or God within does not seem so far fetched now.
The second helpful truth to be absorbed by the seeker is the principle of “not seeing.” This is very helpful in negating the great obstacle to soul contact, which is fear and its two associates worry and concern.
We were discussing the problem of fear but needed to digress to introduce this principle, which is essential to mastering it.
The goal with fear is not to eliminate it, but to take from it the power to have a negative effect on you. As long as we live in this material world with all the possibilities of loss all people are subject to some fear. Believe me, if you're in a car and the driver is headed over a cliff you will have some fear.
The worst way for the seeker to handle fear is to deny its existence. Denial is a form of dishonesty and any type of deceit hinders the seeker in making soul contact.
Before fear, worry and concern can be mastered they must be seen for what they are.Is it possible we could have a financial collapse, a nuclear war or great natural or personal disaster in the immediate future?
Yes.
Should we pretend that such events could not manifest?
No. That is the worst possible approach.
One should always be aware of all possibilities that may have an effect on him. Do what you can to prepare, but in many cases full preparation may be impossible.
What should he seeker do then?
There are always things to worry about and most people give too much attention to their fears.
The key is to only put enough attention on fearful concerns to enable you to handle your life effectively. When you have done what you can then put all concerns out of your mind, not by denial, but by not seeing.
When you attempted to see the auric light you looked in the direction of the physical body, but not at it. You tuned out the physical by not seeing. If you succeeded it was as if the body was not there, but the aura was.
This approach may be used with fear and other negative emotions that need to be neutralized so the seeker can explore the inner world in peace.
There is no fear in the inner world of Spirit because there is no possibility of loss there. If therefore the seeker can bypass this world and see the inner world of perfect peace then fear, worry and concern will seem to be a part of some illusion going on in the background that is of no concern.
Shakespeare spoke correctly when he said:
“All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players”
When the seeker is on the stage he sees the possibility of loss and has to deal with fears and concerns. Many people never leave the stage and thus fear and worry are their constant companions.
The seeker learns to exit the stage when the participation is not necessary and thus obtain the peace and rest necessary to commune with his soul.
The assignment today is to contemplate this sentence throughout the day:
“I am exiting the stage and seeing peace in place of fear and worry.”
In addition when you get a chance to look in the mirror practice again seeing the auric light by looking at a point six inches above your head and not seeing your body.
