What Allan is describing is called the NOW, it brings to the surface our instinctual awareness when we feel threatened by fear or choose to enter the silence within. It is self judgment that tortures the mind and if we allow the mind to stop, judgement disappears.<br /><br />Most people do not know how or have experienced the mind stopping. It is the mind and ego that are the enemies of peace and they use judgement to keep us in our personal hell. Being aware is knowing yourself intimately, psychologically, spiritually, naturally and honestly. In this way fear brings us into the reality of things that are happening. It keeps us alive and helps us to survive. Being in the NOW removes the torment of the mind and the persecution of our memories in the unconscious.Robert Cosmar - Astrologerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09194633844069596066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680984228843410546.post-90975300476025295512014-06-26T08:44:08.621-04:002014-06-26T08:44:08.621-04:00Pleased to read your memoir Allan.

At this point in time for a variety of reasons the "keys" (plural) to unlock the door for me to get into your world remain "lost" for me. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
