On Repetition And Remembering

8/2/92 #1    HATONN

People don't like 'repetition"?  There MUST be repetition for in this day of total repetition, there must be multiple presentations or no one hears or sees.  There are two very valid reasons for this.  1. After people have repeated or repeatedly heard a phrase a great number of times--most especially from an "authority" figure--they believe it whether it be true or false.  It IS the method of training (brainwashing) the subconscious mind to cause the conscious mind to function according to "orders" from another.  And 2. Anything and everything is only found or discovered ONCE in the world and therefore all coming subsequently is repetition.

If a person says something unworthy--no amount of repetition makes it worthy--only gossip and misinformation.  If, however, it be worthy, he MUST repeat it over and over again until it is seen and heard.  Repetition is the only form of permanence that nature can achieve and, therefore, you shall continue to hear many things repeated again and again.  There can be no "overdoing" in the Truth of GOD.  If you believe it to be different, then you did not hear it the first time!

“REMEMBERING”

This is an entirely different set of circumstances within the mind.  Memories are like computer or "card-indexes" consulted, and then put back--very often in disorder--by various authorities whom you do not control nor even recognize.  In all your journeys to date, you will find that you have long since forgotten far, far more than you remember--and thus, the remembering must be as newness.  It always, in addition, seems to be that you remember best that which would be better forgotten.  Memory is like unto a fishing net with holes and yet is also quite cluttered with fish as from a stream, but a dozen miles of water have run through it without sticking for there was naught to grasp onto for your "sorting" mechanism is now damaged.

Too often man hears the phrase "Forgive and Forget".  Nay, nay--instantly forgive--never forget!  The only things to be garnered in worthiness are the things learned through remembering.  The sad portions presented are cast forth because it seems the minds are now trained to insist on cherishing those beastly incidents and casting aside, as hardly noted, the wondrous beauty of the experiences, save a fragment here and there as occasional nostalgia presents.  How wondrous it would be if the mind were unable to forget the beautiful and automatically cast aside the perceived negative?  But how would you recognize choices?  You must always realize that oblivion is the dark page, whereon Memory writes her light-beam characters and makes them legible; were it all light, nothing could be read there, any more than if it were all darkness.  Ponder it for you are experiencing in a setting of light AND dark images and manifested actions; 'tis your training ground just as school is for the tot.  Would it not be marvelous if you, as adults taught properly, the child to grow in strength instead of deliberate weakness in the things of "true living" which must be learned before returning unto God?

RETURN TO GOD

Ah, it is the purpose of all experience--and, why in fact, the adversary so stifles your senses that you cannot help but shatter into the oblivion of his new scenarios.  It is the soul at stake on the gaming table of experience and you have forgotten.  Spiritual expression and reality of soul LIFE are long ago cast out so that you MUST forget and ever so faint memory of something from another day or another time unrecalled in fullness.  Our task is to simply allow the recall of the Truth so that you make decisions of higher purpose and mindset worthy of your level of experience BACK TO GOD.  The guidelines are given and the path mapped--but the adversary places detour signs and hobbles at every turn.  How will your life-stream story read?  Will it say: "...he sensed for a short little while and went."  Or will it read: "It was a wondrous journey home unto the Light for he KNEW the difference!?"  To each his own.

I am always amused at that which "man" does to distract you--let us example one "Henry Kissinger".  He is given honorary titles and false authority and expertise and you all grovel at his words.  But I ask you--does a great memory make a fine philosopher or a "correct" perception?  Can a dictionary be properly called a grammar?  Of course not--but it is YOU who must know the difference.
