You will never find the inner stability and security you …

09/11/2002

You will never find the inner stability and security you are looking for so long as you remain in the region of feelings and emotions, in other words in the astral plane, because here the climate, the atmospheric conditions never stop changing: one moment the sun shines and you are happy, and then along come the clouds and with them sadness. One moment you are in love and then something happens and you are no longer in love. All you find in the astral plane is whim and instability. We cannot do without feeling, of course not, but at least do not make your shelter, your home there. You can go down to the astral plane, take a walk, look around, study the commotion and the distress that is caused there, but do not live there. Make your home higher up, even beyond the mental plane, because the world of thoughts is not perfectly safe either. How many times do you change your mind or your opinions to suit your own interests? And here again you get hurt. If you want to be safe you must elevate yourself to the causal plane, which Jesus refers to in the Gospels when he tells us to build our house on rock. This rock is the symbol of a state of consciousness made up of wisdom and stability.
