In Buddhism the process is known as 'ripening'.

I must allow things to take their natural course, and refrain from trying to interfere. Although it was a long time ago that I committed myself to this way of life, I have wondered over the years whether I could be turned aside from the Path. I have believed, although I could not know for certain, that my course was set. Thus I thank you for your observation that the seed is fully embedded.

You are, I believe, quite correct in your conclusion that "ego can't be treated like a thing, it's an ongoing series of events." I think I have now reached a stage where I need to sit back and stop pushing. I need to let the dust settle, but I am so afraid of forgetting.

Psychologically, maybe we might experience...Hi Tom <br />Psychologically, maybe we might experience the uplifting process you have kindly shared with us in many different ways whilst theologically, as you say, its end result lies in its redemptive aspects to sanctify a more unified future life ahead. But there is a third aspect, namely how might this all be physically translated within our life energy that makes up our consciousness. In that respect maybe the underlying neural process will always be the same, but our reaction will be as different as we are unique human beings. Now that seems to me to be material for another post, should it be of interest..<br />And to attempt to answer your question, I can offer no wisdom other than to say what mighr be considered rather obvious now that the seed is fully embedded, so it will grow, to mean you don’t have to do anything other than to continue to listen to your inner self as you do. <br />Best wishes <br />Lindsay Byrneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11030132436987752741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683318922990064067.post-73807409184154365832015-02-02T02:36:04.486+01:002015-02-02T02:36:04.486+01:00Tom, I haven't had a mind all that long but it...Tom, I haven't had a mind all that long but it seems to seek ever-expanding reaches of organization and make a cosmos of it. Astronomers,poets and psychologists alike use cosmos in reference to the portion of the universe we understand --consult Walt Whitman, who considered everybody a cosmos. We're dealing with a process that never keeps still, so when you write, "Now it seems to me that in every beginning there are the remnants of a previous ending," you pretty much nail it. Ego can't be treated like a thing, it's an ongoing series of events --every definition of it has a remainder.

Maybe now is a chance to slip into ambling mode.<br /><br />As to your question, which echoes what Lucy asked me whilst we were out walking this afternoon, I suppose the final state of psycho-spiritual death and resurrection - which I shall presumably reach whether I seek it or not - will be during the event of my physical death. In which case I think cremation is what will happen. Perhaps that's a good reason for not hurrying the process of transfiguration on too quickly.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028121782477111901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683318922990064067.post-54004065617439743172015-02-01T18:23:17.525+01:002015-02-01T18:23:17.525+01:00It seems to me that this exercise you've under...It seems to me that this exercise you've undertaken is a form of psychological therapy, one that is self-driven and self-directed (which is, in my opinion, the most useful and permanently beneficial). In my experience with therapy sessions under the guidance of professionals, I do reach a point where I have to take a break from the work being done, to assimilate the results, test the validity of my findings and just live with myself - the freshly enlightened self - before I can go any further. Maybe these breaks are the brain's way of signaling it is reaching overload and needs to back off.<br /><br />I have to ask - what do you think will happen when you attain the state you are seeking?The Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846997590157958766noreply@blogger.com
