REGENERATION, GENERATION, DEGENERATION AND DISEASE
You
are sick or well through your attitude. A
right attitude increases your awareness but a wrong one decreases it. Attitude and awareness are connected to one
another. A perfect awareness comes out
of a good attitude.
Your
state of awareness has to do with realizing, or not realizing. If you are honest,
you want to know what is right and that inhibits and protects you. But, in your
dishonesty, you won't want to be aware of what you have done, are doing, or
will do that is wrong, and now attitude, awareness and honesty are seen to be
related to one another.
Ego-dishonesty,
not wanting to see the error of your ways, changes your relationship with the
world, you lose the inside reference point of awareness to protect you from
danger. You also lose awareness after you have done wrong, to avoid the Truth
about it.
Invariably
your outside reference point becomes the thing you aim for; goals, not reason,
excite you and provide motivation. Without grace, without that inner reference
point, you are left without Divine impetus. You are then motivated like an animal
from an external source of stimuli. The conscience you feel is the inner
reference point which you have left behind through eagerly reaching for and
responding to things.
Whenever
anything becomes too important to you, important enough to make you give up
your principles for it-that goal or object causes you to respond emotionally
and you become involved, subject to its influences. And while you are
struggling to get above this problem of subjectivity, frustration, guilt and
inferiority, you are also getting away from realizing what your failing is; the
struggle itself reduces your awareness of what is wrong and compounds the problem
you are trying to solve.
So,
to be prideful and ambitious is to become less aware, to lose control over
yourself and to begin to function like an animal from an outside source of
stimulation.
