Hope is an attachment.
If reading this makes you feel negative it illustrates the truth of this. Therefore, let go and win! Let go and be free!

Science is the study of physics (the physical) and the Reality is not physical.

See ‘The “I am” quotation/affirmation – a visualization.’ in The ‘Quo Vadis?’ File III or in this journal.

Oneness is as the droplet is to the ocean;
Oneness is as the lick of flame in the fire;
Oneness is as the sunbeam in sunlight;
Oneness is as the “I am” in the Great Spirit.

The very act of attempting to describe oneness separates one from it.

In the state of oneness there is no differentiation.
In love, there is more love for family and less for non family; more for people of one’s country and less for people from another country; more for friends and less for others . . . . . . . . and so it goes on. Furthermore, love is variable according to how one feels mentally and/or physically, how one feels emotionally, and so on. There is almost endless differentiation.

The seeker of the Truth will at some time discover that although in Reality “love” does not exist it, like “time” which also does not exist in Reality, is an Earthly tool, as is time, to be used judiciously and is responsible for spiritual growth or spiritual stalling.
However, in this realm of duality, with love comes its opposites - as many opposites as its nuances.
Seek, then, the difference between Earthly “love” and the spiritual oneness.

With spiritual progress one is able, as life proceeds, to walk alongside it looking in with non-attachment. This brings peace of mind.

Knowledge and awareness of the Reality are but rungs on the ladder leading to the top. When the top is reached, and one steps off, the ladder being merely a means to an end, is no longer necessary and therefore becomes irrelevant.
When one steps off the ladder at the top all that exists is one’s identity: there is no ladder - just One.

The Reality, the Truth, is a constant but its perception varies according to the perceiver. This constancy is epitomised by the fundamental teachings of the major Masters. In other words, as the unknown, ancient Indian sage declared, ‘The milk of cows of any hue is white . . . . . .’

Usually, we can only speculate on the evidence of karma in action but here is a true case strongly indicative of this.
A young woman who, since about the age of eighteen years, was very interested in the female body and its sexual functions and had read about them. As she became aware of her sexual power she began to exploit it and one of her pastimes was enticing men; this to the extent that by the time she turned twenty one she had had indiscriminate sexual relations with over forty males of all ages. Curiously, she was completely frigid.
On the other hand, this young woman suffered from clinical depression as well as a number of other mental disorders that thwarted her wish to follow a musical career and/or get a job.

When she was twenty-four or twenty-five a clairvoyant told her that in a previous life [she might have specified the immediately previous one] she, the young woman, had grossly misused her sexual powers. I was told no more.
So, here we apparently have a case of misuse of physical attributes and power which, in a later life, creates a life situation in which sexual pleasure is denied and an opportunity provided for balancing behaviour.
The denial of sexual pleasure would be the way the law of karma works to balance experiences: in this case an excess of pleasure in one life being balanced by no pleasure in another.
Where the mentality is concerned, a selfish one in a previous life is countered by an opportunity for an unselfish one in the current life - an opportunity, it seems, not fully embraced. However, if there is any change for the better there is progress.
As for the mental state one can only speculate - there could be a conflict between the spiritual “pull” and the physical/mental “pull” [conflict between spirit and moul] which manifests as mental disorders, or mental disorders manifesting to create a situation in life that creates a desired environment for a particular purpose such as limiting something; the possibilities are numerous.
