The Underwater GeyserTom Russell
Question: The "True Self" is often discussed in spiritual literature. What, or who, is the True Self?
Reply: Like a fresh geyser on the ocean floor, your True Self is the inner location from which all vitality flows. Underwater geysers are very rare places in nature and great quantities of life are found there. Likewise, spiritual ideas of tremendous power and clarity are hovering around our Essence, but we are asleep to this paradise. It is the purpose of all authentic spiritual teachings to awaken us to the treasures we already possess within.
Question: So many things, both inwardly and outwardly, are clamoring for my attention. What do I do?
Reply: No matter how severe the noise, you can touch your True Self in the midst of it. There is an old movie with a good scene in it. Back in the Nazi days a man stood up in a restaurant and started singing his party's song. The singing started softly but grew in intensity as people joined in. But there was one man who was a holdout. He sat there with his arms crossed and with a firm look on his face. Likewise, be resolute in your determination to abide in the wisdom and silence of your intuitive self. Be a holdout.
We become whatever we attend to. If we allow our attention to wander in the slums of preoccupation, we absorb the contents of the slums. If we regain our power of attention and focus on higher themes, we blend with the higher themes. We must resolve to reclaim our power of attention from flighty mental pursuits.
