So, what would you like to tell me?<\/p>\n
First, how are you?<\/i><\/p>\n
I can’t hear you. Are you asking how I am? …<\/p>\n
Yes-you "can’t hear"!<\/i><\/p>\n
But what does it mean? I can only be well when … there’s no I.<\/p>\n
I have been asking myself a question.<\/i><\/p>\n
Ah?<\/p>\n
About that new consciousness. I can grasp (or guess) its con<\/i><\/p>\n
\n templative or passive aspect, but not so well its dynamic or<\/i><\/p>\n
active aspect. I don’t quite see how it ACTS-I understand the<\/i><\/p>\n
contemplative part, but how does it act?<\/i><\/p>\n
Page 384<\/font><\/p>\n I don’t know. I have no idea.<\/p>\n But do you act or are you simply in … ?<\/i><\/p>\n Yes, I act. But what exactly do you mean? … Yes, I act!<\/p>\n For example, when you are inside, in an inner state….<\/i><\/p>\n But I act much better than when – I appear to be inside, but that’s not so. Everybody makes the same mistake.<\/p>\n Yes, but I fully understand.<\/i><\/p>\n When I am concentrated in that way, it’s not that I am inside, I am in another kind of consciousness. And it’s vast, vast, vast, vast – vast.<\/p>\n Yes, but it’s the active side of that consciousness that I don’t….<\/i><\/p>\n But it doesn’t have any side! It’s a consciousness (gesture of pressure from above) …. <\/i>It has no side, it isn’t passive or active – it’s a consciousness … (same gesture of pressure) <\/i>a consciousness pressing on the world. (silence)<\/i> You see, you’re trying to translate it mentally, which is impossible – impossible. You have to enter that consciousness … then only will you know what it is. There’s no active or passive, no inside or outside – all that is replaced by something else … which I can’t describe…. There are no words for it.<\/p>\n But for instance, personally, whenever I try to go there, into that consciousness, my main impression is of nonexistence.<\/i><\/p>\n Ah, no!<\/p>\n Individual nonexistence, I mean.<\/i><\/p>\n No…. Page 385<\/font><\/p>\n It’s wide, it’s vast, but there’s no more person, no more indi<\/i><\/p>\n No. That’s not it…. For me, all that is the past … (silence).<\/i> Yes, I quite understand what you mean….
