“Knowing is a shallow thing. Asking in the heart is the beginning of wisdom.”
Some great passages in this transcript, in the part below about knowledge not being knowledge but observation..
“You ask this evening how we may better know the Creator, we being those of several densities. Let us go back to the assumption implicit in this question, that is, that the Creator can be known. What is it to know? What things do you know? If you gaze at what you know, you find yourself dealing in quantities and measures, things that can be touched and counted. Thus, you can say, “I know I have three apples,” “I have a piece of paper.” Yet, this knowing does not satisfy the consciousness within the grasp of each of you. Each of you knows that that which is called knowledge is not knowledge; it is observation, and it can be used to create many, many gadgets, to fuel a technology, yet what does that technology know?”
Ahh magnetism.. the next huge frontier of technology, according the the ancient Indian scripts, its first mass or gross material, then electricity then magnetism source of electricity, then golden age.. The time lines may be distorted an debatable an how linear they are but interesting look on that here https://www.starcenter.com/holy-science.pdf talks on it. See at end of this
“The basis upon which technology is built is observation. That which lies behind the observation is unknown. Mass has never been seen under the microscope. There is absolutely no way to explore absolute objectivity, for without an observer there is no knowledge of any experiment. No one has yet been able to explain or know gravity. No one understands or knows the so-called speed of light, why it is apparently a constant. Magnetism and electricity are also fields which are in some ways inexplicable.”
“What do you know? Let us look a bit deeper. Move, each of you, from the mind that is in your brain. Relinquish it and think courteously, gently, and with the skill of a suitor, to pay court to your heart, for it is the unconscious and silent wisdom of the heart that gives to an entity its closest experience to that of knowing.” This one passage.. can take many years to unpack in deep sense only through experience… Plays a huge part in the archetypes, Tarot
Let go of proof can seem foolish …
Within the illusion in which you enjoy yourselves at this time, nothing can be known. The sooner the seeker becomes aware that the truth will beckon ever onward, the sooner the seeker can set to rest the hunger for proof which so often leads to a debasing of the pure love of the truth. Relinquish your hold upon the need for proof, for that which is proof is proof within an illusion. Would you wish to know something in the illusion, for all that you know in the illusion is an illusion. Or would you wish, rather, to gaze straightway at the mystery that is not known and know that you are tabernacling with that mystery; that you live in that mystery and in a very central sense you are that mystery which is Creator and creation."
You can see why its now one of the greatest commodity’s in business sense, is peoples attention its what social media, Youtube etc is completely founded and based on.
"But let us look carefully at this, for we would ask you above all things to be stewards of your attention. How do you pay attention to your incarnation? "
Now to finish is this last part.
"What questions move you, my children? Can you not see that you spend your attention like money, yet, unlike money you are not often thrifty; you are not often listening with your spiritual ears open. Why is that? In this western culture we may suggest that one reason is the great emphasis upon accomplishing the visible tasks. This entity would call this distortion the “work ethic,” and this entity itself is less and less a slave to the work ethic, but certainly still highly distorted towards valuing actions above essence—the essence of intention and desire, of passion, for there is a quest for truth. It is not the truth to be proven, it is not the truth to be trotted out, elegant and set before all, tidy and finished forever. Truths come and they go, and they are useful for one person only. Each of you will find some truths to last for years, incarnations; other truths to last a week or a month or a year.
So, let us move back to beyond the need to know and prove, and investigate the processes of perception. When you have heard, felt, seen, smelled, tasted, touched your environment, a moment has occurred, the present moment. You have chosen that which you will notice and examine. Day upon day, and moment by moment, you will notice what has moved you. This you will discover for yourself the kind of mind that you have to this point created. For you see, as fields of consciousness you are stewards of this biocomputer; you are stewards of what you perceive and stewards of your actions, whether they are creative or reactionary."
“see also that you are more powerful than you may think you are, for you can be creators of those thoughts, attitudes and actions which you choose when you see the catalyst and sense perceptions and biases within yourself which resonate in the present moment.”
Lastly the final passage.. which also has the daily quote hidden in it.
"The genius of living consciously in an illusion that is heavily biased toward sleep is in paying attention, for you are an I AM, you are a creator experiencing itself. Do you strive to be virtuous? Thusly does the Creator know of hope and virtue. Do you strive to be aught else whatsoever? Thusly does the Creator know of aught else whatsoever. Have you served in your own opinion as a bad example? How valuable that I AM is you have probably learned by your self-perceived failures.
Knowing is a shallow thing. Asking in the heart is the beginning of wisdom. As you move deeply, deeply into your heart breathe, breathe full into your belly, into your abdomen. Feel the light, the energy that is infinite. Feel the love that expresses itself as your consciousness. Ask your heart, “What is this love? All these people, why are they so dear? Why are we so pointed toward the light we cannot ever know? Let yourself be overwhelmed, for this is the knowing that you seek—I AM, I AM, I AM. Every iota of the infinite universe, of the One Infinite Thought of Love which creates all that there is…
…with you always ’til the end of the age. Move deeper in your heart. I AM. Breath again and again softly, deeply—I AM—and feel in the womb that is within any entity that bourning present, that birthing moment that is a brand new I AM. This is your essence. This holds your passion. This is you—I AM. As you tabernacle, know that the I AM that is at your heart is much closer to you than your breath, far nearer to you than hands or feet or face or stomach, or any portion of the physical vehicle. You are essence, you are all that there is, you are a quality that is infinite, a flavor not quantifiable, not measurable, but infinite. It will take you all the life that you are and that you will live in your subjective stream of consciousness to learn to focus upon your essence and not upon your activities, for activities may be done with or without love, with or without that great sense of I AM.
Let your intuitions, your intentions, and especially those intentions about which you are persistent form within you an ever more tangible I AM. How can we know the Creator? I AM. I AM. You are. We know the Creator partially in our essence and to a great extent in the essences of the I AMs that we perceive as other than ourselves due to our continuing distortions of understanding. How can you know the Creator? Precisely that way, my children. Learn yourself, love yourself, for you are love. What other appropriate response is there to love but love? As circumstances befall you, see them as love, for all things are the I AM, that one great idea, Love. It may be very distorted, the branches may have gotten twisted, seared, burned, ruined. Then you must look to the roots, for I AM is the root system. You have a good deal to do with the branches, but gaze at your roots.
Others will look at the fruits of your incarnational experience and say that you were such and such a person,“ but the I AM gazes at the I AM in you, and is one with it, and fullness of love is added to fullness of love in a mystery that has no answer that is known to us."
Lots of tangents to take away the discussion or to contemplate on, main take home is move away from knowing an more to the asking, the asking in itself can bring your attention back to love, it can hone your desires an keep it more single pointed ..
