Chapter 8The Environmental Consciousness and the · Dealing with Memories from the Subconscient

It is most probably from the subconscient [that the past memo-ries come]. When these memories arise, they should be treated on the basis that they have arisen in order to be dissolved and dismissed, so that by their persistent dissolution one may not be tied by the impressions in the subconscient to the past (that is the machinery of Karma) but free for the spirit’s unbound future.

The best is when you can get the true knowledge about it, why it happened and what purpose it served; then it goes easily.

* Reject them [past memories] from their roots with the idea that they have come up in order to be abolished from the subcon-scient. It may take a little time to get rid of some memories which are persistent and recurrent, but usually this process has an effect of clearance after a time.

* If you do not pay attention, they [past memories] fall into the background and become a mechanical action which it is more easy to get rid of.

* This review of the past is a very good sign, for it usually comes when there is a preparation of the physical consciousness and the past but look with a quiet eye and understand, for all came — the stumbles included — as part of the necessary experience by which the being learns and advances through error to the Light and through the imperfections of Nature towards the divine perfection.
