In the chapter entitled The Blue Window, I talked about the great advance of human consciousness to the 4th dimension. And I made it clear that to experience the transpersonal reality of 4th dimensional mind, we must close the windows we are currently viewing life through; namely, the consciousness relating to the first three seals. This sounds like a simple matter but is actually complex because the lower consciousness represents every conceivable 'climb down' from unconditional love.

For instance, does closing the brown window mean that we simply walk away from our sexuality, indeed our gender, and become celibate? Well, it's an interesting question because maybe our sexual bonding is really feeding our need to manipulate lovers or to play victim by giving our power away to them. If this were the case, would starving ourselves of sexual activity also starve our needs to be in control or to play victim? Or would we simply shift our focus to using our third seal energy in a business context?

It is essential that we 'know ourselves' sufficiently well enough to identify where our energy is really held up. Just because I act like a man at times doesn't necessarily mean that my energy is stuck in the first seal! It could be predominantly stuck in the second or third seals. As we gradually close the windows on the past, so it is that we gradually open up the 4th seal of unconditional love. As a result, at times we become a little dizzy. And at other times we feel uplifted and get a 'fluttering' sensation in the area of the heart. These are some of the signs that energy is moving up through the body's energy centres.

So how do we transmute the third seal energy and allow it to reform into an energy that will rejuvenate us? In other words, how do we still the pendulum? Through our conscious intent of course. We have to consciously become more loving and accepting of the behaviour of others.

This can be very hard to do, because people are always going to fall short of our standards. That does not mean that we should necessarily ditch our standards, but certainly we should examine whether our behaviour is allowing us to be 'allowing' where others are concerned. If our behaviour is antagonistic towards others, then we need to modify our behaviour so that we don't seek to impose our ideals upon them. Whether we are perfectionists or not, we should just allow others 'to be'. And if by doing that, it has an adverse effect on our life, then we need to examine the choices we made in the first place, which has brought us into contact with them or that keeps them in our life.

Tracking your choices is very empowering.

Always remember that the desired 'state of calm' is the non-emotional state where your emotional pendulum has been stilled. Essentially, that means you are observing life in a non-judgmental way and thus not reacting to it. Any input you make is then coming from a higher-conscious intent.

To stop your emotional reactions, you have to bring every situation in your life upwards to gaining a pearl of wisdom. And you do that through your own desire, by going 'within' and asking your God, and by engaging lofty philosophy such as this.

You should never simply believe what you are told and what you have been taught by ignorant people. You may now know that the world is a sphere and that it is not flat, as some previously believed; but what do you think of a thought process that says that the inner earth is not full of molten rock but houses a more advanced civilisation? Indeed, a civilisation that lives in Love and Acceptance.
