Persistence
Most people sitting here reading this will be aware of what is known
(in computer parlance), as "The Screen Saver", its purpose and its
function.
If the same pattern is continually displayed on your monitor screen,
this pattern will eventually burn itself into the surface coating of
the picture tube.
The example of this can be seen when you load another pattern or
picture up to the screen and you can see the shadow of the previous
image.
Now, persistence (as it is technically known) is something that is
required in order for the image displayed to stay in front of the
eyes long enough for the mind to be able to gather the data and
interpret or give some meaning to it.
When you are using the computer, the image of the screen is
continually changing. However when you are distracted from your
focus, or you walk away from the computer, the last image or pattern
on the screen stays there. The longer the pattern stays on the
screen, the more this pattern or image becomes burned into the
picture tube.
So Screen Saver was invented, and depending on the options you have
selected, after a period of time either a random pattern starts to
move across the screen or it goes totally blank.
The cells are our body are identical.
Whilst we are paying attention and consciously breathing, the energy
being directed to the "persistence layer " of the cells is
continually changing and no pattern sets. However, when our natural
flow of consciousness is interrupted, the impression which interrupts
this flow starts to burn into the cell.
This interruption to the flow of consciousness can take the form of a
pattern of shock .. where we catch a breath, or it can take the form
of something when learn by repetition.
The result is the same -- because every time we move onto a new task,
the pattern that has been burdened into the cells that we are using
to accomplish this task appears as a shadow behind our present focus.
So it is, that whilst soever we attempt to clear our body of patterns
of the past, a familiar shadow is ever present.
This is the shadow of the person who stole our daydreams from us as a
child. This person is the one who keeps our childhood innocence in
the repression which eventually is diagnosed as "clinical
depression".
Our daydreams were our Screen Saver .. the blankness or random
patterns and imaginings which used to flow before our eye in a
dimension timelessness.
In this place, we were in the Absolute Mind of Mindless, we were in
Atman, we were in Brahman .. We were at one with our Core, our
innocence and our integrity.
There are those other spiritual path who seek to obliterate the after
image or shadow by burning in another image. Some of you are aware
of the mess that can be generated on the computer screen by
continually walking away leaving it display different images. After
a time, the phrase "looking through a glass darkly" applies to every
programme you try to run.
Eventually, there is nothing that can be done for your monitor, and
you have to throw it away, and buy a new one.
The human body does this every seven years, but we persist in
repeating the patterns, burning in the same images. Eventually, the
cells reproduce with the patterns and images permanently etched.
This is cancer. The end result is death.
Have you ever wondered, why, no matter how hard you try to discipline
yourself along a the spiritual path, the same old patterns keep
emerging.
Of course they will, until such time as you recognise the shadow of
the person who who first created the image of discipline in the
persistence of your cell-fs.
Then again, many of the newer monitors have a little function called
"degausing". This function works by sending a blast of
electromagnetic energy through the persistence layer of the screen
and obliterates the shadow by revitalising (changing the polarity) of
the persistence layer.
This is Kundalini, this is your life force which will continually
cleanse your cell-fs if ..
You can remember how to daydream and allowed this, instead of
discipline, to become your practice.
