Page Screens of Module Two.
With our new-found understanding and insights into our true nature, wisdom and The Authentic Self, we see the two sides of the coin; wisdom and The Ego.
We can begin to see how identifying with The Ego, in the spiritual sense, causes us to give our power away to other people or other things as we put both our happiness and our sense of self in their hands.
This, it turns out, has many, indeed total practical implications for the way we can live our lives, and so this Module gets straight to the heart of the task of identifying and releasing The Ego, and the temptation to identfy with various things rather than identifying as the experiencer of them, but from a position of mind that is essentially free of binding, limiting constrictions or self-constraints which are the expression and experience of egoic self-sense fear; the difference between Heaven and Hell – if we understand Hell as an Egoic consciousness rather than a physical location.
Also in this Module, and as an expansion of that investigation, we will look at living in the moment; what it means and what it doesn’t mean. We will look at a correct relationship to the mind; what that means and what it doesn’t. We’ll discuss and understand the crucial relationship between The Ego and listening to the body, plus Free Will and Intuitive Reasoning, and finally we will look at, define and understand the two dimensions of Horizontal and Vertical Enlightenment, the two axes of freedom and fullness respectively.
This last understanding, identifying these two distinct thrusts of enlightenment, actually makes the task of understanding enlightenment a lot easier, as it helps us to make sense of the two drives which are otherwise contradictory if we try to combine them into being just one concept. They are two, and they are much more easily understood that way.
“When the voice of the Mind and the voice of The Inner Guide become one, to the point that they are saying the same thing in the moment, this is when you achieve that state which is known as Congruence. You are aligning with The Inner Guide.
Congruence is that state which allows you to be at your effective, assured and fulfilled best. It doesn’t matter what is going on around you, when you are in this state you always respond with originality.
This is why Wisdom is the key to being a complete person, answering the question, “What makes the difference between a boy and a man, or between a girl and a woman”, as illustrated by the Kipling poem, ‘If’, which is effectively talking about that state of Congruence and Imperturbability which is yours to command when you are aligned with your own Inner Guide…” – James Blacker, taken from Wisdom The Course
