Excerpt on Self- Remembering and the Transformation of Energies
J.G. Bennett/ Intimations – Talk with J.G. Bennett
“In the work of self- remembering, there are three energies involve. One energy connected with the body, one with the feelings and one with the thinking power of man. All these are natural energies. They all belong to his human incarnated nature. Truly, Self remembering is a state in which these energies are blended with one another and by their blending, they give man an entry into the spirit world…
The first thing to understand is that the self-remembering process is one that belongs to our natural being. It can even be said that man does not even begin to be man until this process is establishes in him.”
“When we speak of self remembering, we are not speaking about just a mental state. It is not a kind of thought process, though it is a process in ones, emotional life. It is not an ecstasy or a state of going out of this world. It is a state in which one is directly and immediately aware that one is a human being, with all the nobility and dignity that belongs to a human being.”
