If the Truth is Carried in the Mind and Poise in the Heart—Let Us be Happy!

Image

Only when one has lost all curiosity about the future has one reached the stage to write an autobiography. However, the America novel is a conquest of the frontier; as it describes experience it creates. Therefore, it is not true that we have ne life to live; if we can read, we can live as many more lives and as many kinds as we wish. The chasm between the Real and human seems entirely impassable. The intellect is conditioned by its own finitude, by its particular set of space and time perceptions. It is unable to function where absolutes alone reign. The infinite eternal and absolute existence eludes the grasp of human’s logical thought. One may form mental pictures of it but at best they will be as far off from it as a photograph is far off from flesh and blood. Idea-worship is idol-worship. Everything else is an object of knowledge, experienced in a certain way by ourself as the knower of it; but the Infinite Real cannot be an object of anyone’s knowledge simply because it cannot be conditioned in any way whatsoever. It is absolute. If it is to be known to all, it be therefore be in a totally different way from that of ordinary experience. It is as inaccessible to psychic experience as it is impenetrable by thought and feeling. However, although we may not directly know Reality, we may know that it is, and that in some way the whole cosmic existence roots from it. Thus whichever way humans turn one, the finite creature, finds the door closed upon one’s face. #RandolphHarris 1 of 20

The Infinite and Absolute Essence is forever beyond one’s vision, unreachable by one’s knowing capacity and inaccessible to one’s experience, and will forever remain so. The point is so subtle that, unless its development is expressed with great care here, it is likely to be misunderstood. Although humans must pause here and say, with Socrates, “None knoweth save God only”—for with this conception one has gone as far as human thought can grasp such mysteries—nevertheless one may know that the seers have not invented an imaginary Reality. One has neither been left alone in one’s mortality nor abandoned utterly to one’s finitude. The mysterious Godhead has provided a witness to its sacred existence, a Deputy to evidence its secret rulership. And that Witness and Deputy can be found for it sits imperishable in the very heart of humans themselves. It is indeed one’s true self, one’s immortal soul, one’s Overself. Although the ultimate principle is said to be inconceivable and unknowable, this is so only in relation to human’s ordinary intellect and physical senses. It is not so in relation to a faculty in one which is still potential and unevolved—insight. If it be true that even no adept has ever seen the mysterious absolute, it is also true that one has seen the way it manifests its presence through something intimately emanated from it. What begins as a mysterious presence ends as a clear influence. To the extent that we can keep and hold our awareness of this divine consciousness, we can also express something of its knowledge and power. #RandolphHarris 2 of 20

If the nameless formless Void from which all things spring up and into which they go back is a World so subtle that it is not really intellectually understandable and so mysterious that it is not even mystically experienceable, we may however experience the strange atmosphere emanating from it, the unearthly aura signifying its hidden presence. Once “tuned in,” the longer you can stay with the Overself, the greater the depth penetrated; and this in turn means the more general benefit will be gained, the more creativity will be possible in ideas, in arts, and in intuitions. If one is an artist or writer–the glimpse becomes the creative source, the inspirer, of one’s intellectual or aesthetic pursuits—if one is not, they become part of one’s moral aspirations and conduct. First there is the turning-within and opening to that which is one’s finest being; then there is the reversal of directions, the turning-without and giving or serving one’s small or large World. This humanistic way is a grace for those whom it touches. There are humans who may be high in talent but low in character. Notice that I use the word talent. I cannot believe that it is possible to possess true inspiration and yet deny it or fail to express it in one’s conduct. Whatever talent of creative quality one brings to meditation could come out inspired, renewed, and exalted. What one gets from these delectable inner meetings one tries to give the World in whatever way one’s situation allows, in an artistic creation or a simple smile, or otherwise. #RandolphHarris 3 of 20

Image

To extent that a human is conscious of the presence of the Overself, one becomes inspired. To the extent that one is also talented in any of the arts, one’s work also becomes inspired. If one feels this presence, and can do one’s work without deserting it, then one’s is a sacred function, no matter whether it be an artist’s or an artisan’s. Even while working in an office or factory or field, a human is not prevented from continuing one’s search for the inner mind. The notion that this quest requires aloofness from the commonplace utilitarian World is one which philosophy does not accept. Distraction and action are not so mutually inclusive as we may think. The student may train oneself to maintain clam and serene poise even in the midst of strenuous activity, just as one also avails oneself of the latest discoveries of scientific technique and yet keeps one’s mind capable of browsing through the oldest books of the Ancient self-actualized. If the truth is carried in the mind and poised in the heart, one can discipline oneself to retuning from meditation to the turmoil, go anywhere, do anything. One may even learn to live in reality at all times. If one follows the philosophic threefold path, the sense of its presence will need no constant renewal, no frequent slipping into trance, no intermittent escape from the World. The whole of life must be inspired, not merely action alone, not merely thinking alone, not merely feeling alone. Inspired living must be the keynote of the disciple’s effort. One will carry its inspiration into all one’s activities. Every department of one’s life will be divinized. #RandolphHarris 4 of 20

We may fittingly compare the Overself with any catalytic agent of chemistry which, unaltered itself, activates other substances by its presence. We may carry the comparison further and point out that just as the catalyst it ultimately a product of the same primal stuff as these substances, however different they appear to be, so the thoughts and things whose play constitutes the Universe are ultimately of the same primal essences as the Overself. This passive Mind or pure Being, the First, the Unconditioned Origin of all, the Inconceivable and Unknowable. It is beyond the capacity of any individual entity to penetrate this mystery of mysteries and still remain an individual. An intercession of faithful prayer is necessary. This exists in the Overself, in human’s higher self, which is nothing less than a germ of that same infinite life. If this were not present in humans, not only would mystical experience be impossible for one but all religious intuition would be mythical to one. “I and the Father are One,” said Jesus. The student asks why the individual should not therefore know the One as oneself? The saying of Jesus presupposed duality and difference, which explains why the awareness such a student seeks does not exist; it can come only after all duality disappears—even that mystical monism which seems to have transcended duality but has not really. #RandolphHarris 5 of 20

Image

The theosophy of The Secret Doctrine does not reach the height of the doctrine of Nonduality. That is quite all right because it purported to be only a “fragment” of the truth. H.P. Blavatsky wrote that the Causeless Cause, as she termed it, the Absolute, was unknowable that that seekers could reach only to the Logos. Dr. Bruton does not teach that. If all else but the Absolute is illusory (including the Logos) then the path is not worthwhile because truth is unattainable. This philosophy says that Truth is attainable and the so-called Absolute can be realized by humans. Some theosophic studies will help in the understanding of the teaching of this path, while others will bring the student’s mind into direct conflict with them. One will have to decide for oneself whether to give one’s loyalty to the one or the other, but this doctrine cannot be mixed with any other save at the risk of diluting its truth. This path is based solely on the appeal to reason, never to belief, whereas there are many times of theosophy which no one can prove. The “Principle” the Real, the Unique and the Absolute, the ground of all being and existence is human’s nature in alignment with the Spirit, but one has to find one’s way to this consciousness: one has the capacity but must realize it, to think and live-in goodness, sincerity; finally that the truth, being innate in one, could be found by intuiting it. If one’s inspiration is of the highest kind, it will be a fruitful one. #RandolphHarris 6 of 20

Image

One’s highest inspiration will manifest in external achievement by the personal ego and in altruistic service, enlightenment, and uplift of the World community in which one lives. Those critics who assert that we have lost out spiritual values because we teach the mystical contemplation is not an end in itself but rather a means to action, have not understood our teaching. The kind of action we refer to is not the ordinary one. It is something higher than that, wiser than that, nobler than that. It is everyday human life divinized and made expressive of a sublime FACT. We have indeed often used the phrase “inspired action” to distinguish it from the blind and egotistic kind. One who practices it does not thereby desert the contemplative path. This inner life is kept deep, full, and rich, but it is not kept refrigerated and isolated. One reflects it deliberately into the outer life to satisfy a twofold purpose. First, to be on the Earth, so far as one can, what one is in the shining Heaven. Second, to work actively for the liberation of others. This cannot be achieved by inertia and indifference—which are virtues to the spiritual but defects to the philosopher. The divine essence is Unknowable to the finite intellect, but knowable in a certain sense, by the deepest intuition. If one puts away thoughts, even those about the essence, or lets them lapse of their own accord, and awaits itself disclosure patiently, reverently, lovingly—the conditions of high importance–this sense can arise to the human previously prepared by instruction and purification, or by studied knowledge and purification. #RandolphHarris 7 of 20

Image

The mind stilled, the self surrendered,a divine awareness possesses one. For there can be three forms of possession: divine, human (as in artist or writers), and diabolic. In the ideal self-actualized, divine posses has become a permanent state. One finds within oneself not merely a passive repose but also a veritable fountain of wisdom and strength, inspiration and bliss. When spirituality shines through a human, it makes one great, even though one be bereft of talent in any other direction. It should heighten, and not destroy, one’s creative capacities in the World of art or intellect, in public service or technical endeavour, in the businesses and professions. In ancient times the very idea of inspiration, of being under the influence of a higher power, connoted an accompaniment of extremely strong stirring of the feelings. This is clearly on a spiritual level, for there is deep clam during inspiration on a philosophical level. It is not quite correct to say that in literary inspiration then pen races ahead of the mind, that thoughts are too swift and too numerous to get written down without missing any. This is one kind of inspiration. There is another wherein thoughts are slow and few, but deeper. The priest and the self-actualize, the artist and the writer have to carry a small flock or millions of minds with them by means of their work. If they posses the talent, it is theirs. However, the inspiration comes from a higher level. The disappointed escapist seeks compensations for life, the inspired activist seeks life. #RandolphHarris 8 of 20

Image

To make the mood if inspiration a haphazard affair, is imprudent. Whether it comes as an inspirational idea or as intuitive feeling, it should be treasured and nurtured and developed. A good deal of achievement goes on in the silent solitude of our own hearts, unnoticed and unknown to other humans; one day it blossoms into irresistible action, then the World wonders why. In the end, though and conduct, ideal and action, truth and being, must be coordinated, fused, and united. When we find ourselves in the divine presence unendingly, aware of it and expressing it we fulfill life. The Godhead is too far beyond human’s conception, experience, and knowledge; the Absolute cannot be comprehended by one’s finite capacity. We are nothing, meaningless, we cannot know God. We must beg for His forgiveness and devote our lives to loving Him. God gave His one and only Son (the only one He was willing to claim) to purify this Earth so we could live and prosper. Jesus Christ was God in the flesh. That is why the Father and the Son are One. Now metaphysical ideas must be metaphysically understood. If they are understood sensuously or physically, of if an eternal principle is replaced by historical person, truth is turned to idolatry. Those whoa re able to hold such lofty conception of its fleshly appearance as an Incarnation cannot cramp it into the little box of human individuality. Any prophet who makes such a claim repeatedly is merely emphasizing one’s person at the cost of one’s Overself, is glorifying one’s little self rather than the Infinite whose messenger one claims to be. #RandolphHarris 9 of 20

Image

The human who understands one’s own limitations and the Absolute’s lack of them will never claim equality with it. Such a human will never ask others to show one the reverence which they ought to show to the pure spirit nor to give one the allegiance which they ought to give to God. Whereas nearly all popular religions set up as an intermediary between It and us “The Divinely Incarnate Prophet” or else “The Son of God,” philosophy depersonalizes it and set up instead the true self, the divine soul in humans. For even the prophets and avatars whom the divine Godhead sends down to humankind are sent not only to teach them that this Absolute exists but also to direct them towards the realization of their own true inner self. The true self will then reflect as much of the divine as it is able to, but it can never exhaust it. It is the Overself and, through the threefold path, is Knowable. In the Unique Godhead, ever mysterious in its unmanifested World-Mind, in which—in its turn—there rises and sets all this wonderful cosmos of which it is the very soul. The first is forever beyond humans but the second is always accessible to humans as the Overself within one. We cannot know it as it is but only can know that if It has not been there first, the creative God could not have been there. We cannot give it any name for no picture, no concept, no thinkable nature is within our apprehension concerning It. At the enunciation of its mere possibility, we are hushed into silence, struck dumb. #RandolphHarris 10 of 20

Image

Let us retreat, then, into territory where a contact is possible, where GOD and HUMANS may meet. This Great Aloneness, where no other living creature may intrude—no matter who—where human and God mingle. When we, human beings, though our most enlightened representatives, look for the highest principle of being, life, existence, consciousness—the Supreme Power, the Origin of all Substance, the ultimate Deity, in fact—we find It is one and the same thing looked at from different human standpoints. It is nameless but we may call it, Mind. There is no point where we can come into contact with It for It transcends everything, every human capacity. When we look for It in relation to the Universe which includes us, we may call It World-Mind, or in religious terminology, God. Here there is real possibility of a contact, for in our innermost self the connection is already there. Let us not deceive ourselves and dishonour the Supreme Being by thinking that we know anything at all about It. We know nothing. The intellect may formulae conceptions, the intuition may give glimpses, but these are our human reactions to IT. Even the self-actualized, who has attained a harmony with one’s Overself, has found only the Godlike within oneself. Yes, it is certainly the Light, but it is so for one, for the human being. One still stands as much outside the divine Mystery as everyone else. The difference is that whereas they stand in darkness, one stand in this Light. #RandolphHarris 11 of 20

Image

Philosophic prayer will show one that one’s own existence is rooted in that of a higher power, while philosophic study will explain some of the laws governing one’s experiences from crib to coffin. However, at the bottom of existence and experience is ineffable incomprehensible Mystery. Neither the senses nor the intellect can tell us anything about the intrinsic nature of this Infinite Mind. Nevertheless we are not left in total ignorance about it. From its manifestation, the cosmos, we may catch a hint of its Intelligence. From its emanation, the soul, we may catch more than a hint of its Beneficence. “More than,” I say, because the emanation may be felt within us as our very being whereas the manifestation is outside us and is apart. After the last sermon has been preached, the last book written, Mind remains the Mystery behind all mysteries. Thought cannot conceive It, imagination picture It, nor language express It. The greatest mystic’s experience is only one’s own personal reaction to Its atmosphere, as from a distance. Even this blows one to pieces like an atomic bomb, but the fact that one can collect them together again afterwards shows that it must have been present in some inexplicable supernormal way and was not lost, both to continue existence and to remember the event. During Elizabethan times the term “gentleman” referred to a whole way of life, not simply an accident of birth. Appropriate lineage may have been a prerequisite, but to be a gentleman one has to live in a certain style: to be better educated, have better manners, wear better clothes than the masses; to engage in certain recreations (and not others); to live in large, well-furnished house; to maintain a certain aloofness with subordinates; basically, never to lose sight of one’s class “superiority.” #RandolphHarris 12 of 20

Image

The merchant class had its own preferred life style and the peasantry still another. These life styles, like that of the gentleman, were pieced together out of many different components, ranging from residence, occupation and dress to jargon, gesture and religion. Today we still create our life styles be forming a mosaic of components. However, much has changed. Life style is no longer simply a manifestation of class position. Classes themselves are breaking up into smaller units. Economic factors are declining in importance. Thus today it is not so much one’s class base as one’s ties with a subcult that determine the individual’s style of life. The working-class hippie and the hippie who dropped out of Exeter or Eon share a common style of life but no common class. Since life style has become the way in which the individual expresses one’s identification with this or that subcult, the explosive multiplication of subcults in society has brought with it an equally explosive multiplication of life styles. Thus the stranger launched into American or English or Japanese or Mandarin Chinese or Swedish or German society today must choose not among four or five class-based styles of life, but among literally hundreds of diverse possibilities. Tomorrow, as subcults proliferate, this number will be even larger. Kevin Ball (Steve Howey) on Showtimes innovative and popular situational comedy Shameless calls mixed race babies of African and European descent “Tomorrow people,” because their subcult represents the future of humanity. How we choose a life style, and what it means to us, therefore, looms as one of the central issues of the psychology of tomorrow. For the selection of life style, whether consciously done or not, powerfully shapes the individual’s future. It does this by imposing order, a set of principles or criteria on the choices one makes in one’s daily life. #RandolphHarris 13 of 20

Image

If we examine how such choices are actually made, this becomes clear. The young couple setting out to furnish their new Cresleigh Home may look at literally hundreds of different lamps—Scandinavian, Japanese, hand craved African mahogany, French, Provincial, Tiffany lamps, hurricane lamps, American colonial lamps—dozens, scores of different sizes, models and styles before selecting say, the Magnolia 75” Novelty Floor Lamp by Meyda Tiffany. Having surveyed a “Universe” of possibilities, they zero in on one. In the furniture department, they again scan an array of alternatives, then settle on an Alexander Roux 19th century Victorian Rosewood Marble Top Parlor Center Table. This scan-and-select procedure is repeated with respect to rugs, sofa, drapes, dining room chairs, et cetera. In fact something like this same procedure is followed not merely in furnishing their Cresleigh Home, but also in their adoption of ideas, friends, even the vocabulary they use and the values they espouse. While the society bombards the individual with a swirling, seemingly patternless set of alternatives, the selections made are anything but random. The consumer (whether of end tables or ideas) comes armed with a pre-established set of preferences. Moreover, no choice is wholly independent. Each is conditioned by those mad earlier. The couple’s selection of an end table has been conditioned by their previous choice of lamp. In short, there is a certain consistency, and attempt at personal style, in all our actions—whether consciously recognized or not. #RandolphHarris 14 of 20

The American male who wears a button-down collar and garter-length socks probably also wears wing-tip shoes and carries an attache case. If we look closely, chances are we shall find a facial expression and brisk manner intended to approximate those of the stereotypical executive. The odds are astronomical that he will not let his hair grow wild in the manner of rock musician Jimi Hendrix. He knows, as we do, that certain clothes, manner, forms of speech, opinions and gestures hang together, while others do not. He may know this only by “feel,” or “intuition,” having picked it up by observing others in the society, but the knowledge shapes his actions. The black-jacketed motorcyclist who wears steel-studded gauntlets and an obscene swastika dangling from his throat complete his costume with rugged boots, not loafers or wing-tips. He is likely to swagger as he walks and to grunt as he mouths his anti-authoritarian platitudes. For he, too, values consistency. He knows that any trace of gentility or articulateness would destroy the integrity of his style. Why do motorcyclists wear black jackets? Why not brown or blue? Why do executives in America prefer attache cases, rather than the traditional briefcase? It is as though they were following some model, trying to attain some ideal laid down from above. Finding the Overself is one thing, and the first thing, but letting it take over is another thing. #RandolphHarris 15 of 20

Image

The first reality of universal existence must become the first thought of human consciousness. Only then is our life rightly orientated and properly sustained. All action will then become sublime, inspired, and wise, leading to the true success at all times and despite adverse outward appearances. It is one secret of the inspired individual that one lets oneself be led: one does not try to do with one’s ego what can be better done for one by the intuition. However, if one pauses and waits for the inner leading to come to one, this will be possible. Give the ego back to the Overself and then the Overself will use it as it should be used—in harmony with the cosmic laws of being. This means that the wellbeing of all others in contract with the ego will be considered as well as the ego’s own. When these wonderful inspirations come on one, when the Overself draws one inward to involvement in its glorious being, even one’s physical gait, movement, and actvitiy are affected by the change. They become quite relaxed, slowed down, and very leisurely. It is as if time is no longer as important as it ordinarily seems. Yet if the intellect protests against the change, the intuition replies that the higher power will take care of the real duties. One’s behaviour is spontaneous, but not through mere impulse nor through unused intellect. It is the spontaneity, the forthrightness of an inspired person who knows where one is going and what one is doing, who one is directly guided in one’s relations with other humans by a higher will than one’s own ego. #RandolphHarris 16 of 20

Image

When the Overself’s will is the motivating power in one’s life, all strain and all effort to ac rightly cease. When the ego is displaced and the Overself is using one, there will be no need and no freedom to choose between two alternatives in regard to actions. Only a single course will present itself, directly and unwaveringly, as the right one. One’s activity as a merely selfish person comes to an end; one’s activity as a divinely inspired one begins. It is a transformation from “works of the flesh” to “fruits of the spirit” in the Bible’s phrase. To gain such inspiration in all its untarnished purity, one’s egoism must be totally lost and absorbed in the experience. One has to penetrate to the inner workings of the mind, to discover where the spark of contact with the Overself is glowing, and with that find that a finer being, a nobler outlook, and a collaboration with the World-Idea can be created. We know little about the origin of life style models. We do know, however, that popular heroes and celebrities, including fictional characters (James Bond, for example), have something to do with it. Marlon Brando, swaggering in a black jacket as a motorcyclist, perhaps originated, and certainly publicized a life style model. Aaliyah’s long hair in covering part of her beautiful face was inspired by Veronica Lake, and she became an icon for the style, and provided a model for millions of youths. Such heroes, as the sociologist Orrin Klapp puts it, help to “crystallize a social type.” He cites the late James Dean who depicted the alienated adolescent in the movie Rebel Without a Cause or Elvis Presley who initially fixed the image of the guitar-twangin rock-‘n’-roller. #RandolphHarris 17 of 20

Later came the Beatles with their (at that time) outrageous hair and exotic costumes. Then of course there is Britney Speaks who is know for her hairography she does “The Britney,” by dancing and swinging her long golden locks, which shimmer in the light and look like gold falling from Heaven. Then there is Paris Hilton, who looks like a Barbie Doll, quite a sight to see. “One of the prime functions of popular favourites,” says Dr. Klapp, “is to make types visible, which in turn makes new life styles and new tastes visible.” Yet the style-setter need not be a mass media idol. One may be almost unknown outside a particular subcult. This for years Lionel Trilling, an English professor at Columbia, was the father figure for the West Side Intellectuals, a New York subcult well known in the literary and academic circles in the United States of America. The mother figure was Mary McCarthy, long before she achieved popular fame. And James Brown made being Black a beautiful thing with his hit song, “Black and Proud.” An acute article by John Speicher in a youth magazine called Cheetah listed some of the better-known life style models to which young people were responding in the late sixties. They ranged from Che Guevara to William Buckley, from Bob Dylan, the Wallflowers and Joan Baez to Robert Kennedy. “The American youth bag,” wrote Speicher, lapsing into hippie jargon, “is overcrowded with heroes.” And, he adds, “where heroes are, there are follower, cultists.” #RandolphHarris 18 of 20

Image

Of course, because there are so many celebrities, and it is so hard for them to make a living, the one star studded Malibu, California is pushing out the millionaires and making way for the billionaires. Rest in peace, Charles Minor. To the subcult member, its heroes provided what Speicher calls the “crucial existential necessity of psychological identity.” This is, of course, hardly new. Earlier generations identified with Charles Lindbergh or Theda Bara. What is new and highly significant, however, is the fabulous proliferation of such heroes and mini-heroes. As subcults multiply and values diversify, we find, in Speicher’s words, “a national sense of identity hopelessly fragmented. For the individual, he says, this means greater choice: “There is a wide range of cults available, a wide range of heroes. You can do comparisons shopping.” Inspired action becomes possible when, to speak in spatial metaphors, every deed receives its necessary and temporary attention within the foreground of the mind whilst the Overself holds the permanent attention of the human within the background of one’s mind. As the consciousness of the Overself seeps into one, the power of the Overself expresses through one. Over and above the pressure of our individual wills there is this sublimely gentle yet ever-insistent pressure of the Overself’s will. One has access to infinite wisdom and infinite support in every situation and under every given circumstance. However, one has it only so far as one submits the ego to the higher self. The next characteristic of the inspired life is that it is an effortless one. #RandolphHarris 19 of 20

Image

No striving in any direction is necessary. Neither the weight of external compulsion nor the pressure of interior desires is ever again felt. One acts with the lightest touch. Even if one has found an intermittent inspiration, it will desert one in the end if one tries to glorify oneself. Dear Lord in shining Heaven, to You I call, from the turning of the World, toward the center I face You, Who stand like a pillar in the still point, enwrapped with the tuning, surrounded by the changing. It all happens about You; You are not aloof from it, You are there in its midst. You do not reject the changing World, nor do you transcend it, but by standing within it, You find the still point. Axis mundi, to You I call, from the turning World. May I, though engrossed in the great changing, find, even as You, the center. Dear God, please look down here, please look and see me, me down here. Please take my cares away from here. Away from here, far away. Please turn me onto a productive path. Thank you for your gifts. Please do not forget to keep on giving. We can always use more. Remember us this day,  O Lord our God, for our good, and please be mindful of us for a life of blessing. With Thy promise of salvation and mercy, please deliver us, and please be gracious unto us; please have compassion upon us and please save us. Unto Thee do we lift our eyes for Thou art a gracious and merciful God and King. #RandolphHarris 20 of 20
