To summarize once again, and perhaps with a different approach, the meaning of self-realization: self-realization means to bring out into reality all dormant potentials.

It means to integrate the ego with as yet involuntary processes.

Let me briefly enumerate certain basic aspects about pulsation. Everything that lives must pulsate, as it must breathe and move. Therefore pulsation and breathing are interrelated. The movement of life is contained in both. The movement is involuntary and occurs in rhythmic intervals, provided the organism is healthy, harmonious and undisturbed.

In order to become what you truly are, the fundamental prerequisite is fearlessness.

Overcoming fear of self is the key. Every kind of fear amounts, in the last analysis, to fear of self; for if there were no fear of your innermost self, you could not possibly fear anything in life. In fact, you could not even fear death.

On your path, you begin to come face to face with your images. That is, you begin to feel how you emotionally react according to them, you experience their reality, you connect with them, as opposed to before, when this was not the case.

Certain emotional experiences come out from the depths of your being, but it is just the beginning.

When one speaks about God’s infinity or about Creation’s infinity, this is part of the meaning.

There is no state of being, no experience, no situation, no concept, no feeling, no object that does not already exist.

Everything in the world exists in a state of potentiality which already contains the finished product within it.

The moment you transcend dualism, two opposite and apparently mutually exclusive aspects become equally true.

This applies to the ego in relation to the real self. It is true when one says the ego’s predominance, its exaggerated strength, is the greatest hindrance to productive living. And it is equally true when one says a weak ego is incapable of establishing healthy living.

One of the great difficulties in life is the inevitable downward curve in all growth process. Life is growth, and growth is a continuum of movement that goes in a fluctuating line. Each down brings a new up; each up must bring a new down in order to go up again. There can be no upward movement unless there is first a downward one. Thus, there can be no life unless it has gone through a form of death.

A very deliberate, yet relaxed attempt must be made to feel the underlying causes of the outer results in your life.

All sorrow and unhappiness, all emptiness and unfulfillment, all frustration and suffering are caused by being disconnected — as you know and I so often say — from the causes within yourself.

There are various states and processes in material life which afford humans the possibility of replenishing themselves from the universal source.

One of the most automatic, generally accessible of these states is sleep. Human beings who are deeply troubled are so because they are too enmeshed in their ego.

Insomnia occurs precisely because the ego is too predominant and the involuntary forces of life cannot take over.

A person cut off from inner reality is indeed lost. The majority of humans are almost totally cut off from their inner reality and must therefore find their way back to it.

The few who have attained this connection always were and will be the spiritual leaders of humankind. Every effort on this path is aimed at reestablishing such a connection for inner guidance, for the manifestation of the inner reality.
