Send us a textEugene begins by asking his audience for the meaning of the word ‘arrogance’. He gives a dictionary definition: ‘The taking to ourself, of anything whatever, without entitlement.’ He distinguishes between the Godhead, the Infinite, Sentient Power, and God as creator. The Infinite Field winds in and posits a point. We are all such points of reference within the Infinite Power Field.As long as we remember this we are not arrogant. The problem is that the Infinite has made many such points, which produces contingent relation between them. The Field winds in but cannot go to dead centre because it is essentially dynamic and must keep moving. It winds out again, leaving a centre of pure spirit. This centre is in every being and is identical in every being. Our problem is that we forget that, at centre, we are this spirit. We forget that we have come from Infinity and we fall into identification with our periphery. If we all remembered our origin we could relate to each other harmoniously, but the contingency obscures the reality and we relate to each other contingently, that is, from our egoic self, which is built from our empirical experience in the world. “The cause of all the trouble is identification with the point of contingent stimulation; forgetfulness of the Absolute.” The energy going out from each centre meets the energy coming from another and, at the point of meeting, the energies “spin in each one, and this becomes the centre of egoic defence in the time-matter process.” When such a situation arises there is always a relative hierarchy of power because the energies in each one are not equal. One initiates, the other reacts, one is active, the other passive. The being, at centre, is ‘Atman’ which is identical with ‘Brahman’, the ‘extended power’ of the Infinite. The egoic complex created by contingency is ‘Jiva’.Please note that further information can be found at www.eugenehalliday.com/welcomeOn the website, there are links for you to freely download full transcripts of all of the talks available here. eugenehalliday.com encourages dialogue and would warmly welcome opening a dialogue with anyone who has an interest in wanting to discuss the contents of eugenehalliday.com further.
