being and doing that's what we started with in the last session and finding a balance and before finding a [Music] balance being able to enter to access the being dimension that's already a good start and then at first what tends to happen but although

not invariably is you can you enter the being dimension or access it when you're in a place that is conducive to the stillness or the serenity or here a protected space or perhaps in your at home in your room or here in your room out in

nature and at first being the being dimension is associated with a sensation of doing that's how you first realize it it's when you're not doing anything and you can just be consciously be which implies a no matter how brief a sensation of the primary doing which is the

thinking doing without a no matter a brief sensation in the stream of thinking it's hard to find the being dimension but later on as you become consciously rooted in the being dimension thinking and being can come together they are not irreconcilable and in fact that is one

of your tasks is to when you do think not to be totally identified with a stream of thinking in other words there's some attention in the background some there's an awareness a field of or a space of awareness in the background even while you're engaged in thinking as it is now

as I'm speaking of course the mind is operating but I can sense and perhaps you can in the background behind the words beyond the words in between the words there's that space of stillness beingness whatever you want to call it and if you can sense it

you might believe if you send it's coming from here if you can sense it it's in you because only being can be aware of being, not the mind. If you believe being emanates from me, I suppose it does, but at that moment you there's the the recognition of being

can only happen through accessing that dimension within yourself. Only being can recognize being, not the mind. The Mind however may come in when you, let's say, you recognize the being Dimension that this emanates from, this thing that's the body or whatever it is it

emanates from, and you can you sense it, the moment you sense it it's in you also consciously now. It's possible that the Mind may come in and misinterpret what's going on and the mind may confuse the form of the spiritual teacher, whoever it happens

to be the form, the form, identify with the being Dimension and then suddenly the teacher is regarded as a supernatural being or kind of Godlike figure or some great Guru or whatever because you confuse that which transcends the form for which the form is only an an

opening, you you confuse that with a form and then you make that person through whom being shines, you make that person very very special. This can happen easily. It's a misinterpretation but at least you recognized being, but what you overlooked is because not everybody will recognize

it in in a the being dimension in a human being if it shines through strongly. Not everybody recognizes. Some people say what what's this what's this all about? Why are these people all listening to this guy for 2 hours? What he's not special, he doesn't doesn't

even even jump up and down the stage and he's just boring isn't he he's boring so that's a danger that is also a danger as far as the spiritual teacher is concerned because there may be remnants of ego left in him or

her and if the teacher is bombarded with a continuous projections of specialness he or she may begin to believe in other words the ego comes back through the back door and regains ascendency and the ego comes back and then the teacher begins to think to feel a specialness in this in

the person the form and then the teacher you have it's happened many times the teacher makes statements such as say um I'm certainly the greatest teacher alive on the planet at the present moment or it may go so far as to say I'm the greatest that has ever lived

all the others were precursors of I have arrived there is something incredibly special coming through but it is not it is nobody's possession it's nobody's achievement it's it does not belong to the form dimension but the form dimension can be an opening just like a

window in a way one could say this body and this mind is the window frame what you see is the window frame but what the most important thing about the window is the light that comes through the window and that's the opening and this may also happen to you

when you as as presence arises you will if it's not happened already for many of you probably has happened already you come into contact with people who are helped by your presence uh even if you don't uh feel that you know what to do because this

doesn't work like that they're helped and they are drawn to you they're helped by your presence there's a kind of transmission it can it can awaken the presence in the other that dimension the being dimension in the other and then you you can find

um they may then become attached to you because they feel so good in your presence and they can't let go and again the danger already arises then that you feel I I have done this there's one could call that healing in a deeper sense not just physical

healing but the true healing is to the reconnection with the being dimension that's the true healing and there's a phrase in this book called The Course in Miracles which is the Healer does not heal he lets healing be he does not heal he lets healing be

so when you are with people who are seeking help then you don't need to go into your mind say how can I help this person and has to go uh the person is talking to you and you already think perhaps I could say that I can say that doesn't work like

that you're just present at some point you may say something from comes through the deeper place or you may not even say anything and there's just an answer may suddenly appear in the other person with something oh and you never said or did anything you just sat there
