Typically, posts begin with a quote from I. This was transcribed from kindle, under the mistaken assumption that it was in that book. When getting source information, it was found to be from Discovery. However, it is certainly worth posting here, as it covers salient questions of the sincere student. Q: The pursuit of Enlightenment appears to be a very major decision with possible major impact on ordinary lifestyles. A: This may seem to be a source of worry or anxiety when it is first heard. In due time, resolution occurs as a consequence of re-contextualization and a shift in values. What may be perceived as disruptive by the ego at calibrated levels below 600 is not experienced as such at 600 or over when relinquishment of worldly life is natural and welcomed as a relief. The Self manages the transition. Most questions about adjustments or seeming sacrifices do not take into consideration the power of decision itself, which increases in intensity as the barriers are removed. Devotion dissolves fear, doubt, and hesitation and clarifies uncertainty. Intention also becomes ever stronger as does trust in God. Then arises the inner decision to totally abandon oneself to God. The evolutionary pathway is self-reinforcing and self-confirming as it progresses. The you that anticipates the future now is not the same you that will have to later adjust to very different conditions. Identification shifts from the content of personal self to the contextual field of transcendent Self. What is seemingly impossible to the self is easy and simple to the Self. Discovery of the Presence of God; Chapter 13; pg.219; 2006
