10 Years of Themes from Cave Junction: entire scanned book

All of us know that we cannot awaken if we take life for granted. This shows me that I am asleep. Many things happen before I begin to think. This Work is to make me think and nothing is worse than to pretend that I already know as this stops everything real in all directions of my development in the Work. My vanity and pride are like a solid piece of concrete. They are hard to penetrate. We can observe the results of the two, but not see them. False personality sets in my way and tries to make me realize that the Work is not really speaking. There is a saying to transmute lead into gold. But the Work adds that I must already have some gold to make gold. This is called magnetic center, and magnetic center is the first sign of a different kind of being. I find in the Work everything can become useful once the Work has begun to penetrate into one’s being and understanding.
