Understanding occurs step by step

D - The mind is practically at the service ofIo, so I ask myself: when we talk about self-knowledge that can go through the analysis of one's emotions, isn't this analysis always done through the mind? That is, it is my ego that analyzes emotions ...

Yes, you are right, it could be so; indeed, many times it is like this and we have also said that "know yourself" can be used, then, in the end, to become a way not to look inside oneself. sé, an excuse for not looking inward in the right way.

But, you see, the analysis of your emotions - as you say - is certainly done, as long as you are on the physical plane, through the help of your mind, but you are referring only to the conscious part of your mind.
Everything your mind processes does not come to your consciousness (awareness, ed); you are not aware of all the thoughts, of all the things you think, but only of the parts that, from time to time, your ego lets transpire for the execution of the acts it deems useful in the course of the life you are living.

Instead, there is a whole background of thoughts in your mind that analyzes experience, sensation, emotion, desire and so on in a much more complex way and it is all this set of elements, the most unconscious ones and the most conscious ones, which bring data to the Akasic body; not only, therefore, that which is conscious in your mind of an embodied I on the physical plane.

Here, then, that the work is much more complex and if your mind is used to it, it is trained to observe with some criticism, a certain judgment what your reactions to experiences are, your Akasic body will receive more data and it will then be the Akasic body that will be able to perceive which ones are the right ones, which fit together in the right place, and send back those who do not have no importance, no new influence, no new data to bring to its understanding.

[…] D – You were saying earlier that understanding doesn't always happen on a mental level and, returning to my experience, when I think I have understood some things on a mental level, but then these things don't go away, I can't live them, then I I ask: when does this understanding become part of mine feel And then will I really feel, understand what I understand mentally? It often seems to me that I am always firm at mental levels and that then these understandings do not pass into my feeling, therefore they do not produce a modification in my way of being in things.

You see, one of the most rigid things in the components of the individual is the conception that the ego has of itself. The ego of the individual considers himself better than all the others, he considers himself above: a rigid conception, which must be unchangeable because it cannot be better than this. Clearly this is a misconception because you are always different, moment by moment.

Now, this ego position, however, acts on your lower bodies and acts on that part of the mental body, which I was talking about earlier, which is the one that processes your conscious thoughts. Certainly the understanding of a certain behavior that causes problems, for example, may appear to be understood in some way through the mechanisms of the ego at the conscious level, but when you keep making the same mistakes this means that this understanding is not complete.

It means that, of course, the conscious part has perhaps elaborated some important point of what is wrong, but there are still, however, of the nuances, of the particular points that have not been understood and, having not understood the experience in its totality, the change is still not what is expected.

There is, therefore, a sort of stalemate, what we then define "crystallization», Whereby the experience continues to repeat itself, to repeat itself, to repeat itself until it is possible to do so release from this somewhat rigid position of the ego and to find the connection with these understandings of small nuances which can lead to the real understanding of that particular event, of that particular way of being.

It is in that moment that understanding is inscribed in the Akasic and then the situation will perhaps repeat itself again but it will be a verification, this time, of what has been understood; we will behave differently.
The problem is that many times you do not notice it, but your understanding, now acquired, makes you behave differently; you just don't realize it!

You sometimes think: "I have this experience several times with a certain type of people and I always behave in the same way, I make the same mistakes", but this is not always true; many times yes, when you have not really understood, but many times, instead, your behavior has gradually changed little by little.
This is because a part of understanding has managed to pass and the experience continues to recur because, evidently, there are still nuances that you have not understood and, therefore, this experience presents itself on purpose to make you settle these last things.

As one of the Guides rightly said in recent meetings, the best way to pray is to savor life, but she didn't intend to give herself to bacchanalia or anything like that, she meant to "savor" in the sense of enjoy even the details of what you are experiencing, because it is from the details - when it comes to a certain type of evolution - that you can get a new feeling, no longer from the big facts.

It is no longer from the fact of not stealing, for example, that you can acquire "feel" because it is not "not stealing" that you have to learn, that by now you have understood; it is the fact that maybe there are particular moments in which that "do not steal" must be applied in a particular way and therefore you have to understand those nuances again.
