Gnostic Question of the Week

How is Self-Remembering Practiced?

Answer from the V.M. Samael Aun Weor.

“What, then, is it called ‘remembering oneself’? Well, simply, exhausting the process of thinking,’ even if only for a few moments, or exhausting all the currents of desires, emotions, thoughts, sensations, even if only for a few minutes. In that instant, one has ‘remembered oneself,’ one has come to realize that one is neither a thought, nor desires, nor emotions, nor passions, that beyond all of that is Being… Being…”

Samael Aun Weor, The Philosopher’s Stone.

Answer from the magazine "The The wisdom of the Being.".

Self-remembering is a higher state of consciousness; it truly has many nuances, so we shouldn’t take it lightly or believe that we have already experienced it. Self-remembering involves carrying out a set of varied Gnostic techniques to reach that state of consciousness. Do what you do: Self-remembering, on the one hand, refers to placing awareness in everything we do. If we walk, our awareness should walk with us; if we eat, our awareness should not be elsewhere, but rather enjoying the food; if it is time to get dressed, our awareness should not wander, but be present in the moment. Remembrance of Being: Self-remembering, in its deepest sense, refers to not forgetting the Self or divine spirit, always keeping in mind that we come from an immortal and divine spark. And this is achieved in its most real form when thoughts and feelings cease to flow.
