Latuii on Programming the Self
This short Latuii comment on reprogramming the self expands on some of the themes Auxhall discussed earlier in this session. It begins with an unrecorded question ostensibly asking how one might use humor to reprogram the self, traveling into the use of LSD and meditation but ending on laughter as a trigger the same brain secretions that do the work in those two methods. I see this as a rather unremarkable response, but what they follow with in response to another unrecorded question gives me more to think about given my remarks yesterday.
What I see those of Latuii reaching towards is the idea that we as self-aware intellects would never have the perspective to do any reprogramming in the first place. This approach assumes that there is a right way to attack the illusion, and it’s a matter of simply getting the programming right. But this collapses the illusion so utterly as to squeeze out its mystery. The point of spiritual evolution is not to program the self careening through the universe, but to lose the self in greater and greater selves as an eternal praise of the majesty of the Creator and existence itself.
I’ll probably share one further excerpt from this bountiful session before I move along; until then, chew on this!
This is not a correct concept which you have generated within your mind. We are not sure that the true reprogramming concept can be generated intellectually. You can, for instance, decide what you wish to reprogram. But, you will never know in your normal, shall we say, work-a-day state of mind, the mechanics of this reprogramming. It is not so much a state of objectivity that you need to reach, as a state of freedom, and this is not a freedom from yourself. It is a freedom to yourself.
For in reality, in the physical illusion, you are separated from yourself by all the concepts which have been generated in your mind as distortions of the truth, by those about you whom you trusted since your early childhood. These distortions are many and varied, and at a very young age you chose which distortions you felt comfortable in living with. Therefore, various people have various distortions. So, the laughter releases you not to objectivity but to yourself, which is the ultimate subjectivity, since each person’s universe is unique and unreplicable.
