mso-pagination:none; line-height:150%; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0'>IN one's own consciousness one must look at things from a wider,
more general standpoint. If at any moment something holds you, holds you tight
and you have to face it, if you are compelled to wrestle with a formidable
obstacle and at that time you begin to feel that before this moment thousands
and thousands of years have passed and after that moment yet more thousands and
thousands of years will pass, you immediately see the inconsequence of this
little point of time; you need not enter into a high spiritual condition, you
have simply to contact Time and Space, with all that is before and all that is
after and all that is happening at the time, and if you are not an idiot you
say immediately: &quot;Ah, well, I am giving importance to something that has
no importance.&quot;</p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;text-indent:11.5pt;mso-line-height-alt:
11.75pt;mso-pagination:none; line-height:150%; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0'>Your little moment loses then and there all its
importance if you can visualise simply the immensity of the creation. I am not
speaking of rising to spiritual heights, I speak only of the immensity of the
creation in time and space and the small event on which you are concentrated as
if it were of great consequence. All that dissolves immediately if you go
about the thing in a sincere spirit. Naturally there is a part in you that will
protest and say, &quot;But for me it has an importance.&quot; You have only to
leave it aside and go on with the other part of light and consciousness. If you
are sincere there, it is not difficult.</p>

11.75pt;mso-pagination:none; line-height:150%; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0'>There are other procedures. A Chinese sage, I read
out to you once, advises you to lie down on the flow of events as on a plank in
the ocean, and imagine yourself to be on the vast immensity, drifting upon the
waves, contemplating the sky above. In Chinese they call it Wu Wei. When you
can do that</p>

150%;mso-pagination:none; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0'>I knew one Irishman who used to lie on his back and
look up to the sky in the night when there were stars. He looked, contemplated
upon the sky, imagined as if he were floating in this immensity studded with
countless luminous points and immediately he felt all his troubles were' gone.
There are many such ways. What you have to do is to get the sense of relativity,
your little person and the importance you attach to things concerning you as
against the boundless infinity of the universe. Naturally, there is the other
way of separating yourself from the earthly consciousness and rising into a
higher consciousness, there earthly things take their true place, that is to
say, they become small things.<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
