I do not prevail

I found this statement to have somewhat of a physical effect on the body, as you reduce the need to stress and struggle to get somewhere.
To me this was more immediate than the I AM - meditation, without saying it is more effective overall.


This is an excerpt from 'The Silence of the Heart', dialogues with Robert Adams -




"When the mind is silent, then reality comes of its own accord. When you are thinking and thinking, the world has got you and you become worldly again. Self-inquiry causes the mind to be quiet.

After you  work on that, you go on saying, "I do not prevail." You say to yourself, "You mean that my entire existence since I was a baby until I die, means nothing?"
Then you say to yourself, "I have just proven I was not born, If I was never born, how can I prevail?
What prevails? Who prevails?

You will see that it is the mind that prevails. The mind wants existence, wants strength, wants power.
It makes you believe you are the body. Ask yourself, "To whom comes the mind? Who gave it birth?
What is its source?" then keep still.
You will begin to laugh because you will begin to feel , even if only for a moment, that there is no mind. You will actually feel no-mind.

In the beginning it may last for a moment or two. As you practice every day, those moments of no-mind will become even greater.

Go on and say, "I will never disappear." Now you laugh again, because you realize that which never existed disappears. I am no-mind, so how can I disappear? This become very meaningful for you and as you do it every day, you become stronger and stronger in mindfulness, and something happens that's so beautiful that I can't describe it. You feel such love, such joy, such harmony, such bliss. Then you carry on.

Have a deep feeling, and a realization, that you are unborn, that you do not prevail, and you will never disappear. You will never die. Think about that. just to think to yourself that you are unborn.
There's no cause for your birth. Cause doesn't exist. There's no reason for your birth. You never are born. And as far as your existence is concerned, it's not there. You do not prevail from birth to death. There is nothing going on. Absolute nothing.
And you do not get older, you do not disappear, or you do not die. Think about that. How free you'll become when you understand what this means. It's a beautiful feeling to know that you were never born, that you've always existed, but not the way you think you are. Your life as it is right now, whatever you think you're doing, however important it may be to you, is totally meaningless. Why? Because it'll be gone soon. So whatever you're getting into, whatever excites you, is only for a time."

Death of the identity

The secret of life is to die before you die, as Eckhart Tolle said.

Seth 2, future Seth - Datre

I've been reading 'The Seth Material' by Jane Roberts, and I think this is the first book were she introduces both Seth and Seth 2 to the public.

She describes the channeling of Seth 2 as a somewhat frightening/uncomfortable experience, and that she felt it was difficult to be in control - at least to begin with.

Also the power of the energy was extremely strong from Seth 2.

Seth 2, as they would call 'him', was speaking in a more cold and emotionless manner, and refered to a 'we' instead of just himself.

Because Jane wasn't comfortable (I assume) with channeling Seth 2, and the energy was so strong, Seth 2 would only come through occasionally and rarely.

Seth 2 said he sort of 'used' Seth to get the message through, probably because Jane was more comfortable with Seth.

Datre would confirm in theire transcripts that Seth 2 was a part of them, and that the 'we' he was refering to was Datre.


It's too bad people found Seth 2 and Datre to be too 'cold' to be interested in the actual content of what they were saying.



On a sidenote, I found a transcript were I realized Seth was coming through, at the end of
