Preparing the Lower Centers for Higher Centers
The Work is about developing the internal side of you so that it is so governed by the power of the Work that you cannot behave badly to anyone in your mind, heart, and soul without feeling a loss of force. We stand between two realities, one given by the senses and the other given by our relationship to Higher Centers. One is external and the other is internal and, I would add, eternal. It has often been said that this Work is to prepare the lower centers for the reception of Higher Centers.
The Triple Relation: Consciousness, Body, and World in Self-Remembering
Self-Remembering from one aspect is the practice of a certain relation of consciousness to one's body and through it to the world as rendered by our senses. If we take it like that, then there are three things (1) consciousness, (2) the body with its external senses, (3) the external world of things and people.
