Trusting Your True Self
Realizing Happiness Rather than Searching for It
A Teleconference Series January 13th – February 3rd, 2015
“Somewhere in the innermost recesses of our consciousness lie the answers to the questions all mankind seeks.” Sydney Banks, “The Missing Link”
Dear Friends and Colleagues:
When Sydney Banks had his enlightenment experience in 1973, he realized the true nature of the human experience, its origins and its creation, on a moment to moment basis. He realized his own True Self, and in doing so saw that this same undamaged, and in fact undamageable essence resides deep in the soul of every human being. This profound understanding is now paving the way for all human beings to free themselves from debilitating mental habits; habits of negative thinking and insecurity that prevent our natural state of happiness, our birthright, from rising to the surface.
It is of course very natural for us to be constantly trying to retrieve the joy and peace we innately owned when we began our experience of life as a human being. As Syd would say, that is the game of life.
However, Syd also endeavored to help us see that it is “the search” itself that actually gets in the way of finding the happiness we are looking for. It is the search, in all of its many disguises, that keeps us from experiencing the potential wonder and joy of each moment of our lives.
This mental search can be overt and driven or, just as often, subtle but incessant. Either way, it is predicated on constant self-judgment and analysis. It may take the form of striving to reach higher levels of consciousness, or we may be stuck (even after learning about the Principles), in trying to break our undesirable habits or thought patterns. No matter what form our search may take, it flies in of the face of the most fundamental spiritual fact that Syd Banks uncovered in his experience; that all human beings are spiritual beings, and as such, (regardless of what they are going through in their lives or thinking), are whole, totally healthy and undamaged on the inside. How many hundreds of times did he say “Look inside for the answer.” Our constant measuring of how we are doing as a person is, in fact, counterproductive. Self-judgment achieves nothing, except to take ourselves in the opposite direction of the true spiritual nature that lies within us at all times; whether we are aware of it or not.
In this next series, we would like to discuss the possibility of spending more of life in a state of realizing the True Self.
Best Wishes,
Chip & Jan Chipman
