True Sensitivity
When people speak of someone being sensitive in the spiritual sense, what’s usually meant is the ability to pick up on another’s emotional feelings or state of mind. Some people are even acutely aware of the atmosphere or vibes of a house, street or village. The difficulty is that unless the personal space is clear of negative emotions, the perception will be flawed and conditioned by unresolved inner conflicts from the past. True sensitivity is being transparent as a body of love in existence. It’s being able to look without judgement and to respond from a place of wisdom and clarity.
We live in a hard, materialistic western culture, so the way back to the spirit must be made in a practical way in order to handle both the inner and outer realms of existence. For some, being acutely sensitive to the inner realm of the psyche creates a feeling of being disconnected to the physical world. Schizophrenia and psychotic symptoms torment those who have no natural defence against the negative psychic forces which populate the invisible realm. Then there are those who appear to lack any sensitivity to the plight of their fellow man and woman. Between these two extremes a balance needs to be made in order to function effectively in the world.
True sensitivity is a state of conscious alertness to life, which is to be present and relaxed within the body. This natural state of being is impersonal love, the finest sensitivity grounded in the sensuality of the flesh. A sensitive with genuine clairvoyant ability to divine the future or the past is attuned to their body consciousness, from where they intuit their inner revelations. Similarly when in nature or in the presence of a loved one, or indeed any creative undertaking, it’s the innate sensitivity to the incoming stream of life that determines the response and subsequent actions in the world.
Sensitivity arises from the senses, originally created as receivers of the earth’s Being at the frequency of sensory perception. The predominant senses in the modern age are sight and sound. As a consequence, most people are sensorially out of kilter, which makes for an unhinged way of existence. A true sensitive is someone in touch with the senses as a complete system of receptivity to life. The familiar five senses, when merged as an inner state of being, produce the subtle sixth sense of super sensitivity which introduces an enhanced perception of the mystery of life undivided. This wonderful spiritual vision is accessible to all when the mind is still, with nothing arising as any movement from the emotional feeling self.
“The natural way of being is impersonal love.” It must mean to ‘love’ everyone the same. This must sound impossible to many people. For the first time today I posted on Facebook and invited people to reply by asking a question. There was quite a flurry of communication and I loved the interaction with all these faceless people. I loved them all. So what is going on here? No ideas and no judgement got in the way so the ego didn’t get a look in. I had no idea of the history of these people (the fiction part) so no judgement found a footing. So, to go further, who was I loving? I didn’t know them. It was the love of Self that was bouncing back at me. I cannot say (I as in ego) that I love myself – even children can pick up on other children who “love themselves and think they are “it” ! We cannot know we are beautiful, pure Beings in the finite sense but it can be re-cognised when it is reflected back at us as a realization. We cannot know the Truth in other words we can only Be the Truth. I did have beautiful red hair once upon a time and people were forever telling me I did but it never registered as a reality – I couldn’t see it. A mirror would soon tell me – pointing out the fact that reflections tell us about ourselves. Just like the phrase “we dislike in others what we see in ourselves” – is reflecting back at us. It is where words fail. Once the mirror is wiped clean it would explain “Heaven is spread upon the earth but men do not see it.”
It does sound impossible because it is impossible while everyone objectifies the truth I am in each body. The truth is that everything is God being God. So from the perspective of impersonal love, God is loving God’s self in whatever shape or form and regardless of the appearance in the world. In the spiritual process, it’s the element of self in devotion to the impersonal inner source that provides the sense of love in gradations of inner purity. As personal love is transcended through the conscious journey back through the subconscious, the inner mirror that’s mostly smeared by the attachments of emotion which cover the light of consciousness becomes clear and spiritually enlightened.
It’s the degree of self-knowledge which provides the recognition of the present as a state of being, which ultimately reduces the distance from the past to the immediacy of now. At predetermined levels of the psyche, an irreversible union occurs which is realised as an aspect of God. This is the realisation of space purified of self, which is able to perceive reality at the octave of original space and time.
Love how you confirm the Truth Lance – I take great comfort in the knowledge that whatever level union has been reached (which level is unknowable) it is irreversible – also your explanation for the reduction of the distance from the “past to the immediacy of now.” The beginning and the Now are one thing.
That levels of the psyche are ‘predetermined’ so allowing a certain detachment by letting Life flow which way It chooses to go. And then there is the transcending of personal love. It seems to be the gateway to Love in its true meaning – like we have to let go personal love in order to get a firmer grip on the love of God/Self which is all there is – to love God in everything. I am aware that I can’t refrain from saying my bit, but it is also to support the great thing you do by stirring the consciousness in people. From my own experience – something may be said that I don’t understand but I shelve it at the back of the mind and when the time is ripe out it will pop from seeming nowhere and I can connect the dots. You are appreciated by everyone whether they know it or not. Thank you for your response.
