THE CENSOR
This is one of the most difficult pages to write, because here we address DIRECTLY that which refuses to be seen inside all of us. The CENSOR is the driving force behind all unenlightened beings. Jung called it the "Collective Unconscious" and determined that this inner director of external activities is the reason for herd behaviour, etc. We go a lot further than this. We state that your inner Censor is the Gestalt of all your repressions, diversions from natural self, and shielding devices that you use to avoid responsibility for behaviour. Unless your Censor has been shown to you, it is impossible to communicate exactly how powerful the effect on you is. But I can describe HOW it works. The Censor lives to protect the Ego. It lives in your ID, or your sense of Identity, and it is like a parasite that feeds off your energy while at the same time, directly all your choices at a most basic level. You will not be aware of this, and believe that your thoughts are your own, your feelings are your genuine feelings, and that your belief in what you love, who you love and how you love are all part of your personal choices. They are not. Everything you have done to this point in your life has been at the dictate of this collective force, which is part society, part parents, and part inertia from civilization and your own past lives. Why then would ANYONE have such a creature controlling their actions? The reason is simple... You do not know enough to be fully responsible for yourself. You are full of mental and emotional seeds that will sprout at any time. You are an uncultivated field, that will shoot up weeds with barley, and try to grow trees on rocks. The Censor is like the shepherd who will take your undeveloped consciousness through to places where past patterns have shown you can survive. In this regard, this being considers that it is your friend. It will whisper in your ear that the person you are meeting is "the One" because this is what worked in previous times when you met the same person. Just as surely, when the alarms go off in a relationship, your censor is the one who will whisper "It's their fault" because it does not want damaging introversion to take over its creature (That's you, by the way). The Censor is your Vase of Whispers, and it rules the hearts and minds of most people you will meet. Fortunately, we have not been left alone to suffer the fate of our own devices. Opposing this is the still Certain Point within you, the Truth of Soul that is the quiet, knowing voice. This is the part that says "Hey, don't seek to blame, seek to discover." Soul is that part inside you that loves to CREATE and move on to new experiences. It is the Natural Urge of the Child to investigate, look under rocks, and walk into a new world every day. Choice is Destiny is the link that describes this. (If you are wanting to understand the Censor, you will need to read this page. Essentially, if we are not moving forward with developing Aspiration and Higher Goals, we are spiralling around on the whispers and gossip and backbiting.) The difficult part to understand is that your Censor is both your protector and your jailer. When you focus on what you are REALLY doing you will start to understand just how many of your responses are programmed. Some of your most basic urges and desires, things that you believe are just "you" are really energies that are evolved from the Censor. In most cases, it is a defence against the world and a technique whereby people in a society can come to an agreement. At the most basic level, going back to Stone Age roots, it was quite a task for an individual to want to give up personal freedom in order to work in with a tribe. You had to, in order to survive, and if you had a mate you needed some framework to protect each other, but for the most part if people did not need to band together for protection, people would still be wondering around digging up roots and hunting birds to eat. It was the banding together that forced people into COMMUNICATION. It was a natural desire, but then as now, the strongest voice was heard most. You would think the delight in speaking would be like giving sight to a blind man, but since when have we humans appreciated our gifts? It hasn't changed since we wore skins and used clubs ... People tend to want THEIR voice to be heard, rather than listening to what others have to say. And here we come to the most basic technique for getting around the Censor... this is simply to LISTEN rather than talk. When someone chooses to LISTEN first, then they are automatically putting the Censor on the back shelf at that moment. When the Censor realises that by listening it gains more, and that the Ego is in fact better protected, it starts to accept this as a Survival Pattern, and gives up a little of its "Control Space". The thing to understand is that you will never "beat" your Censor, and nor should you try. It runs the mechanism of your mind, and any attempt at usurping its authority is a little like a peasant challenging the King. You will lose. Rather we NEGOTIATE around the obstacles, and in doing so we create new paths for the illumination of Soul to shine into our lives more directly. The first step in negotiating the Censor is re-learning COMMUNICATION via Listening. The next step is redefining ACTION. In this case it is simply that people generally act without consideration of long term effects, and they act before they understand the process they are involved in. The Buddha invoke this when he determined that a necessary ingredient to spiritual understanding is Right Action. It is not MORAL action he means, but BALANCED actions. Most people "re-Act" rather than ACT. Most people are simply going over rehearsed lines of belief and improvising like a bad actor on a wobbly stage. The net result is that our actions never work in harmony with our surroundings. We live, as the Buddha says, in a state of inertia, or wrong action, wrong thinking. How do we move from reaction to right action? In the simplest of ways... We simply employ PATIENCE. We wait and watch the situation we are involved in, and see what is there for us to learn, and what is there for us to share. It is like the Dark of the Moon, there is little point walking out and trying to do anything when you can't see what you are doing. In time, the natural cycle unfolds, and the full moon arrives. The light of the Moon opens up to understanding. We can finally SEE what is going on, and then we can ACT RIGHTLY. It is a matter of simply standing back until you see what is obvious. And here we come to the Riddle that solves the Puzzle of the Censor... This Riddle I pass on to you, and it came to me from an Ancient Tibetan Lama called Rebazar Tarzs. He said to me one day, when I was asking question: "If it is not obvious, it is not worth it!" Learn to see the obvious. If you can see what is the base motivation behind people's actions and the situations you face, you will be learning to see things from the same level as your Censor. This is the ONLY way to get on equal terms with all of what is inside you. To understand more of this inner level
where there are many "selves" (and the Censor is simply the ruler of the inner
"selves") look up on Ebay an old book from the 1960's by a writer called Paul
Twitchell. It is called "The Tiger's Fang" published by Illuminated Way Press
and the chapter in question is called "The Fierce Children of Light". EMAIL: info@pythagorus.org.uk |
