(San Jose, California)-Yesterday we went into the importance of “ENDING” habits. We went into it deeply and widely and we looked at the importance of helping your children or student to understand the importance of changing and how to convey this thing. May we continue with where we left off?
The writer was talking about the importance of the children and students along with the teachers and parents to bring about a flame that will burn for the rest of there life, never going out, “a real change”! The writer would like to put a question to the parents and teacher that may be reading or listening to this? Is this that the writer is talking about your passion? Is it the real passionate concern with the children and students for each one of you?
When one is passionate about something, really passionate they can do this that the writer is talking about, the writer knows this to be fact. If one is passionate then you must convey this passion to your children and students! Passion is passion, not that you the reader’s or listeners passion is different from that of the writer? So our approach to the children or students must be the same. So one must be careful that they don’t contradict each other to the children and students. The writer is putting this forth because there are a number of people in a household or school setting, so there must be uniformity.
You the readers and listeners must be careful because one can say one thing while another may say something else and the both are contradicting each other while involving the children and students, but the both of you are passionate. So may we go into this for a moment? The writer feels that it is important? So what may we do to not contradict each other and covey this correctly? The writer is only concerned as hopefully you the readers and listeners are concerned about the transformation of the human mind/human being which is absolutely necessary in these times!
There have to be togetherness about what we are looking to do with the children or students? We absolutely have to be together other wise it means nothing and nothing will happen. So you the readers and listeners and the writer see the basic need for the transformation of humankind and we feel passionate about it. Furthermore would you not covey that passion in a different way than the writer? Nevertheless there might be contradiction in that, the writer thinks of course? The writer is saying how you may deal with or say to the student in relation to that which is being conveyed can be different than what the writer will say and this can hold contradiction.
Basically lets look at it, one comes down from the pedestal an see that there is a self interest, sees it and that there is an importance of the children and students to see this basic necessity of transformation, so the writer will talk to them. But the writers talking and acting towards them must be the same as yours other wise we will be contradicting each other, that’s all the writer is saying, this is basic! Is the writer being clear? The writer is a super evangelist, not all the God and Jesus stuff but a super. None of that phony stuff like shifting the mind through imaginations and visualizations, the writer isn’t interested in none of that stuff.
So, are we not on the same page in understanding the need of a radical transformation of the human mind? Suppose that the writer got it and you don’t and he says please listen to what I have to say. Will you go please don’t you are too serious or will you really listen to what the writer have to say? So the writer would proceed to ask the children and students do they really want to find out what the writer wants to say? Even if the student or child hasn’t been exposed to any of the things that the writer talks about because of age or circumstances, it is your job to make them want it, to show it to them. It is the writer and your responsibility. And the teachers whom are reading or listening to this it is your bread and butter along with your responsibility.

What does it mean for you to listen? Don’t turn what is being said into ideas, and don’t say you will try, don’t try-don’t do it! “Now don’t translate or make and abstraction of this fact of the necessity of change.” “And if you are doing it be aware of it and stop it!” Can you the readers and listeners stop making the abstraction if you are, of the fact? And if you can, then that means you are not concerned with ideas but with action? Take this slowly please, don’t question yourself and get confused, you either are or you not and leave at that for the time being. Don’t say that you might be fooling yourself and talk about it, find out if you are? If you are in an illusion then find out, do say you might be.
Okay what can we do to find out if we are in an illusion? Now we make an abstraction because either we don’t want to act or we want to escape through an idea or there is the desire to change, which is really a motive. To be clear do we both you the readers and listeners with the writer see that there is a great necessity for radical change? When you listen to that or read it do you make an abstraction of it into an idea? So we are clear a radical change implies no psychological conforming and not conforming to a pattern. No psychological conforming to any authority, authority of your own experience or the authority of another. Eliminating psychologically time all together, saying I will become something or I will change later on.
Furthermore there are lots more, but these are the basic of radical transformation. Now if you are all with the writer you feel that this is important, don’t you? So if this is an obvious importance do you feel passionate enough to convey this to the children and students? Saying to them don’t act instantly and don’t allow time to interfere, after explaining all the things that are involved in it.
This is not something that should be seen in the children or students sometime or on occasions and if this is the case for what reason, it has no meaning. Both the children and students are getting it or not, period. One wants their children to be intelligent, want-a burning desire, to be totally different from the rest of the human monstrous that are growing up in the world. This is a total intelligence, what the point other wise, “why should we waste our life on meager means of action?”
Talk it over with them say to them that we both are on the same level and we both need to be healed so can we look at this thing and go into it together so we may find out, I may have been here longer than you but we are no different inside/internally, touch there head body show them that you are serious.
May the writer put it a little differently, and he is saying this most humbly? You the reader and listeners whom may be parents or educators, you hear all of this and you are interested but also your lives are full with other things being parents, paying the bills, taking care of this one and that one and the tremendous problems that you have. But the children and students they don’t have the tremendous problems like the grown ups have. So perhaps we can work together and radically change the students and children? How does one know if they aren’t the blind leading the blind? That is your job to find why you are blind if you are.
We all say how can you lead when you are blind yourself or how can I change, saying that with all the rest, you all make these statements and you remain there. Find out why or what is blocking you? The writer is aware that passion is “LOVE”. And most of you if not all don’t come to this so easily? Furthermore because there is no “LOVE” everything become intellectual and verbal, in addition it really has no deep affect on the little ones. Nevertheless what will be the next step? If this is so what should you do?
When the children or students don’t feel anything from you or love don’t repeat that and stay there. Affection for the children and students is okay but it is more than that. That is not good enough; one must precede how to have this thing love! Okay ones have this affection and see that it is not good enough, love can’t be cultivated. Do you the readers and listeners have no idea of the next step and if so why? How will you help you’re self to have it taste it smell it? What are you to do if you don’t have it? Is it that you are seeking power and you want to dominate people? Are you with the writer? Is it that you will give your everything to have that?
The write would break everything down to find out about why he doesn’t have this “LOVE”? Because without it everything else turns to ashes. “LOVE” is not an image you cant put it into words it is this extraordinary sense of it. But for the time being we are looking at it verbally and how you can get it when you don’t have it. Because without this “LOVE” everything goes or happens with no meaning. “LOVE” has nothing to do with sentiment, emotions, romanticisms and the entire general senses of that word. So what is this quality of “LOVE” that the writes is talking about that’s needed to reach the children or anybody for that sense?
The writer doesn’t think it can be put into words? “The description or words is not the thing!” we are talking about the thing. Concern, affection friendliness, kindness, gentleness has nothing to do with “LOVE”! But when there is “LOVE” all of that is there, not have that and “LOVE” comes, no that is not it. It is a negation of all that to have “LOVE”!
The first thing with the children and students is that they feel that they are welcomed and that they are safe and “LOVED”! If we are not clear to ourselves the children and students will not be clear, we will confused them more. This is why the writer asks if you the readers and listeners want and feel the absolute necessity of this?
It would be good if we could learn to stick to one thing and finish with it? The writers concern is that there is a radical change with the children and students along with the parents and teachers and that when you are done with this account you are change for good. In the concern that the writer has come with that “LOVE” there fore the writer is passionate about this!
