The conscious “I” manifests itself above all as a conscious, resolute and tenacious will, directed relentlessly towards the goal; a will that unceasingly works to master the areas of the unconscious.<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Last Sunday we presented the highest and most direct method of awakening superconscious psychic energies and coming into contact with our spiritual self.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

But such a method is not easy to use, and it can give rise to disturbances, and sometimes even prove to be dangerous. It is therefore appropriate to be well aware of the problems it can produce and how they can be avoided. We will also present other methods that are more indirect, but easier to implement, and see which are best suited to various psychological types.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The main danger of the method of “silence” that we have presented is that of allowing ourselves to go into a state of passivity in which psychic sensitivities of mediumistic character are awakened, or in which elements of the unconscious that can overwhelm our conscious personality may burst in.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The question of mediumship is very complex and still somewhat obscure; but for my purposes it will suffice to mention a general, yet often overlooked, aspect of the issue. When one speaks of “mediumship,” one immediately thinks of the great mediums through whom extraordinary [psychic] phenomena occur, and then the debated problem of “communication with the departed” is immediately raised; but these are exceptional cases. There is, on the other hand, a less apparent aspect of the question, but one that concerns us all: many facts lead one to admit that the extraordinary paranormal faculties of mediums are an amplification of faculties and sensibilities that exist to a greater or lesser extent in each of us. That is to say, psychic exchanges \u2014 outside of the connections established by the ordinary means of the senses \u2014 habitually take place among all people. These exchanges take place between our unconscious and that of others and, in general, between it and the innumerable psychic forces, influences and vibrations to whose action we are exposed just by living with other people.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Now, putting oneself in a state of passivity and receptivity tends to foster the development of those psychic sensitivities. But this state of affairs is, for various reasons, far from desirable. Opening ourselves without wise discrimination, and without vigilance towards the psychic influences that seek to intrude upon us, would be like leaving the door of our house open to anyone who wanted to enter it. It is easy to imagine how very undesirable guests could easily creep in. Especially now when humanity is agitated, worried, full of doubts, anxieties; often disappointed, embittered, rebellious, it is certainly not the best thing to allow oneself to be assaulted by those emotions and passions, which generate powerful and impetuous psychic currents because of the large number of those who transmit them.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n
