Day 3 on retreat in France: Care for the Highest

I care about the life I want life to evolve and to develop them to become more but it can't be right I care so caring it's caring versus not caring so inertia in its most toxic form is the feeling I don't care you follow so I'm trying to make this very simple and meaningful it's the difference between caring and not caring and I think spiritually the difference between caring and not caring is everything I'm a spiritual point of view the difference between caring and not caring is absolutely everything it's not a small thing it's everything isn't it so there's a toxic expression of inertia the toxic manifestation of inertia is not caring I don't care versus I care very much can you feel the difference between the two can you feel the difference between I don't care versus I care very much now in an Enlightenment context this gets interesting because the ego experiences what in an evolutionary indictment we call it negative freedom unwholesome freedom toxic freedom in not caring about something tired so inertia giving in to submitting to the pull the irresistible pull of inertia gives the ego power and the ego is not just a it's not just these false personal ID impersonal emotional psychological identity it's also the lesser identities so if in evolutionary enlightenment the highest is it gives a Cosmo centric self-identity it's giving power to all the lesser self structures that exists underneath this Cosmo centric identity so in this case the secular bourgeois values and all the emotional and weight of that part of yourself still holds power because long as you care more about keeping that intact then threatening its dominion over your body minded personality you'll feel this inertia about going to the next level you'll feel this enormous weight pulling you down and how do what it will feel like because I just don't care enough about that I don't care this is the weight of the inertia and if we're not careful the weight of the inertia can be experienced as being overwhelming emotionally overwhelming it's too much it's just too much I can't I can't deal with it I need to see a therapist right my dad that's the feeling of inertia is not to live so what we're talking about it's actually very important it's the difference in caring and not caring and caring a little bit we're caring very much I care very much so so in my in the way I interpret things a person who cares very much about these higher and deeper values is what we all are aspiring to become a person who cares very much follow I care very much but we're talking about caring about higher things things that are more subtle not so obvious as things that are lower so it takes effort and it takes effort for most people to begin to feel a sense of care and even at higher level a sense of obligation to higher and deeper and more subtle motivations and aspirations that begin to appear in higher states of consciousness and higher levels of development these higher or subtle feelings of care and even obligation don't even begin to appear until these higher stakes begin to emerge in these higher perspectives begin to emerge but they're very subtle compared in comparison to what we're used to so for most for most people these these are very very distant vibrations of our potential because we're so our mo are our everyday emotions and concerns are so busy with lesser I'm not saying unimportant but less lesser which means less profound issues so the learn so learning to feel a deeper sense of care about that which is higher and that is more subtle requires a lot of work and attention and intention and focused attention and intention and consistency to learn to begin to feel these things that most most of us don't feel very often but I'm making a fundamental distinction here that spiritually we with spiritual development in this context we you could tell that someone was really spiritually developed because they really cared about these higher matters not because they should but because they have no choice because they feel but if they feel I really care and you can tell that they really care because when they speak about what they care about they're very connected to it and they're transmitting the sense of care they're in touch with something that they feel that's real but and that's not an intellectual abstraction it's a living truths of the vibration so they care and so in relationship to the clarity of intention the cultivation of the intention attention to some important because it skips us through how do we deal with the overwhelming and nurse' or the lack of care but higher deeper matters it's by cultivating this this fundamental intention it's like an icebreaker you know an icebreaker is in the North Pole it breaks through the ice so inertia is like overwhelming ice and in there there's a sea of inertia which it means is a sea of I don't care all around us because we're all two different degrees embedded into values that come to us from the culture that we have grown up in so for most of us it's a mixture of traditional modern and postmodern values in differing degrees depending on who we are that have not yet awakened to or recognize these higher dimensions of truth and reality that we're speaking about in here
